today were gonna talk about mobile hotspot and tethering and the different types that are out there and what to do if yours is disabled by your carrier with screenshots at bottom
there are three main types and one secondary types of tethering so lets get to it 1st type and its the type most likely to be disabled by your carrier
MOBILE HOTSPOT AND TETHERING sometimes called portable hotspot
2nd type is called BLUETOOTH TETHERING
3rd type is called USB TETHERING
the other alternate one thats not really mentioned is when your doing two or more things at once like usb and bluetooth tethering OR bluetooth and mobile hotspot or some other combination of these three
1- mobile hotspot and tethering
BY DEFAULT STRAIGHT TALK DISABLES THIS FEATURE but tbh not that well if you ask me i managed to get it enabled NO ROOT needed. i kept an old straight talk phone and then later before getting my samsung galaxy s9+
most carriers say its disabled but the feature still there, see my screenshots below to see what i downloaded to enable it
for the most part you can download an app from google play to enable it,
the ones i have in screenshot are for straight talk only if you root your phone from straight talk then you can enable hotspot so you do have that but my options are easier and might not void something
2-bluetooth tethering
no one blocks this but some phones you can share data thru bluetooth but most dont allow this., from here you can share images and texts and screenshots, doing this does not use data so no carrier blocks it
3 usb tethering
this is where you hook a usb cable to your computer and share between your phone and computer, no data used here so its not blocked by any carrier
4- COMBINATION TETHERING
this is where you might have a usb cable hooked to your phone and your sending stuff to someone else using blue tooth tethering
its technically not a 4th type but since your combining multiple types of sharing its another form of it
