Tethering

You can use your smartphone as an access point (master unit) to connect various Wi-Fi compatible devices (sub units) such as a PC and game console to the Net while you are out.

• When tethering is enabled, all packet communications will apply to "communications made via connection to a PC or other external device" even if your smartphone is not connected to an external device. Be sure to disable tethering as soon as you end communications when connected to an external device.
• Some functions may not be available depending on the model. Check Compatible Models (in Japanese only) for details.
• Packet communications when using tethering with a Xi "crossy" subscription will not result in additional charges if you are subscribed to a packet flat-rate service or data plan. Tethering can be used at the maximum monthly charge of the packet flat-rate service and data plan that you are subscribed to.
• Packet communications when using tethering with a FOMA subscription will be billed at the maximum monthly charge for "communications made via connection to an external device" if you are subscribed to a FOMA packet flat-rate service (such as Pake-hodai FLAT). To confirm the maximum monthly charges of billing plans and flat-rate services, see Packet Flat-rate Services.
