Cricket Tethering lets you use your phone as a modem, or mobile hotspot, to share its Internet connection with other Internet-ready devices, such as laptops, tablets, mp3 players, gaming systems, and other connected devices via USB or Wi-Fi. Cricket allows tethering when you have a capable rate plan or feature. By adding Cricket Tethering to your service, Cricket will allow the sharing of data on your applicable line of service. See Terms and Conditions of Service for details.
Most phones are not able to process 3G data, and phone calls, simultaneously. You will be able to receive calls while tethering, however answering that call, or initiating one yourself, will interrupt your data access.
