You can use it as a hotspot without using an app. It's in the settings under wifi I think. Just watch out for your provider charging you for doing it!

thanks! I am on unlimited data plan with 3 - are they going to charge me for this? What can I do to avoid that?

In short, no you can't use it to tether to your laptop or tablet.

Might be worthwhile dropping over to Talk To Three forum and asking the reps there to clarify.

You have tethering on your contract if you signed up before Jan 1st.

Pda net app should work, its in market.

Business can tether all they want its consumer can't.
