Troubleshooting: Mobile Hotspot mode
I can't use my device as a mobile hotspot
• Check that you're connected to the mobile network. If
appears in the upper-right corner of the home screen, then
the mobile network is on and connected.
• Check that your wireless service plan is set up to use Mobile Hotspot mode. If not, you need to change your service plan
before Mobile Hotspot mode can work on your BlackBerry device.
• Your wireless service provider might not allow the use of Mobile Hotspot mode while roaming. For more information,
check your service plan or contact your wireless service provider.
• If your wireless service plan supports the use of Mobile Hotspot mode while roaming, on the Settings > Networks and
Connections > Mobile Network settings screen, check that the Data Services switch is on and the option in the Data
services while roaming drop-down list is set to On.
• If you're using your device for work, your organization might not allow the use of Mobile Hotspot mode. For more
information, check with your administrator.
