If you have Verizon, they specifically block this because they want you to purchase an Air Card so they can charge you a lot more money for the same thing. They also swear it breaks your warranty. I don’t know about Sprint phones, but I do use my Tmobile phone and my normal android data plan to surf the net using my laptop at times and from places I wouldn’t normally be able to.

2. Install it. Follow the directions on the install screens.
