Mobile Hotspot

When you use Mobile Hotspot mode your BlackBerry device creates a Wi-Fi network that other Wi-Fi enabled devices can 

connect to so that they can use the Internet through your mobile network connection.

Sharing your Internet connection using Mobile Hotspot mode

This feature lets you connect your devices to the Internet anywhere that your BlackBerry device has a mobile network 

connection, but because this feature uses the mobile network, you might incur high data charges.
On some mobile networks, services such as email and BBM might not be available while Mobile Hotspot mode is on.
After you set up Mobile Hotspot mode on your BlackBerry device, connecting to the mobile hotspot with a Wi-Fi enabled 

device is a lot like connecting to any regular router.
