Can android phones be used as hotspots so you can connect your laptop to the internet like you can do with iPhones?

Most of them yes, but like the Iphone it is very expensive

Sure. My friends do it all the time.

YES ANDROID MOBILES CAN BE USED AS PORTABLE HOTSPOT LIKE THE IPHONE.

Yes you can and its a function of the cell not expensive like the iphone

Yes they can.

Of course they can.

  • Trouble with Wi-Fi hotspots? I'm on my wi-fi at home, and apparently my DSi can't use it or something, so since my iphone's on the Wi-Fi, I'm wondering if making a personal hotspot would be kind of like a go-between. So what I'm asking is, if I make a hotspot with my phone (That's on AT&T wi-fi), will it use up my personal data? I have very limited data so I'd like to know before I try it.
  • No contract Wi-Fi hotspots for video streaming, web browsing etc? Any good deals out there for internet sources? Living in an apartment and the main person has their internet hooked up in the house which doesn't work good in my room. Looking for something I can use to stream Netflix and browse on iPad and iPhone
  • Macbooks and iPhones with personal hotspots? So I noticed on my macbook that when I click the Wi-Fi icon, my iPhone pops up and I can activate a personal hotspot from the laptop. This might be a big concern for me; if, for example, I'm in an airport, can a random person with a macbook activate a personal hotspot from my phone without me knowing? Or is it specific to my laptop since my phone has synced to it multiple times?
  • If i get a iphone 4 (used) can it be used like new? If I buy a used iPhone 4 will I be able to use it like its new and make a iTunes account get apps etc?
