Hi there fellow affiliates and hoping you are all having a good Sunday!
I just thought I would share a handy tip with you as I am so grateful for all the fantastic help I regularly receive from you guys. I have also used this several times when travelling and recently when I was moving house and had no internet connection for a couple of weeks.
Did you know you can link your tablet or laptop to your phone to piggy back on your phone's 3G network? Simply connect your phone to your laptop via a USB connection. In the settings/connections menu on your phone find Tethering and Hotspots. Enable Tethering. Your laptop may now connect to the internet via your phone. A hotspot will enable more than one device to connect via WiFi but is less secure so the USB option is preferable.
A word of warning - downloading data via tethering can be expensive if your network package does not allow unlimited data. But if you have a reasonable amount of free data it is possible to view a movie, check your emails and of course catch up with your buddies on Wealthy Affiliate all without access to WiFi!
