It's my goddamn motherfucking mobile data and MY PHONE. I should be able to use it however I want. My wifi went down because the greedy, cunt-faced shitbags at Comcast stole taxpayer subsidies to enrich themselves instead of actually providing the service we're paying for. I tried to switch to a mobile hotspot and my phone refuses to open one. Everyone responsible for this shit should be ~~fed to alligators~~ locked away in a fucking gulag. We have no rights and live in a corporate plutocracy.

What phone do you have? I've never heard of an android phone not having wifi Hotspot....

Some service providers lock that feature, because it's tied to much heavier than normal data usage. I have Verizon, and while they don't lock mobile hotspot, they do give me a different hotspot data restriction than my phone.

The most recent plans included using a hotspot but now they are trying to unbundle everything on their new plans to 'save' you money by letting you only pay for what you want. Using a hotspot is costs $10 more a more now if you switch to the new plan. If you actually turned on everything that was already included you'd be paying more than now so you not even really saving anything either.
