Using Galaxy Nexus as an internet connection on laptop

[SayDeeSoo]

How do I set this up?  Do I need a separate service?  I tried tethering & portable hotspot under Settings and it tells me I need to subscribe to Mobile Hotspot/Mobile Broadband Direct.

Settings > more > tethering&portable hotspot  > pick from usb, wifi or bluetooth. | with the wifi option notice just under the wifi setup press and setup a passwd. Back out and then press/check portable wifi hotspot.

Any option works Ive used/use them on the go from time to time w/my nexus 7.

You do not need to pay extra it comes w/your account, if you kept your unlimt data make use of it before they yank it away from you.

hope that helped... enjoy

Just google `how to remove tethering provisions`.

If the OP still has the unlimited data plan, they still need to add and pay for the mobile hotspot feature.
