mobile network connection.

NFC

NFC is a short-range wireless technology that's used for quickly creating connections between your BlackBerry

device and other NFC-enabled devices or NFC tags. With NFC you don't need to enter pairing information to make a

connection, so it's useful for on-the-go actions such as transferring contact cards with people you meet, or grabbing

information from a poster that contains an NFC tag. Depending on your wireless service provider and the

applications you have installed on your BlackBerry device, NFC can also be used to turn your device into a digital

wallet to allow you to do things such as make payments with your BlackBerry device.

Shared Internet connections

You can use your BlackBerry device's connection to the mobile network to allow other devices to access the Internet. This

functionality is particularly useful if you want to browse the Internet on your laptop or Wi-Fi only tablet but you don't have

access to a Wi-Fi network.

Internet tethering

You can use Internet tethering when you only have one device that you want to connect to the Internet through your

BlackBerry device's mobile network connection. You can connect the device to your BlackBerry device using a USB

cable or, if both devices are Bluetooth enabled, you can use Bluetooth technology instead.

Mobile Hotspot

You can use Mobile Hotspot mode to connect up to eight devices to your BlackBerry device. (The number of

devices that you can connect depends on your wireless service provider.) Connecting your devices using Mobile

Hotspot mode is like connecting to a Wi-Fi router; you can use the Wi-Fi connections on your devices, but you don't

need access to a Wi-Fi network.

Turn on airplane mode

In some places, such as on an airplane or in a hospital, you need to turn off all the connections on your BlackBerry device.

Airplane mode lets you quickly turn off your connections and, when you're done using airplane mode, turning off airplane

mode restores the connections that were previously turned on.

1. On the home screen, swipe down from the top of the screen.

Tap Settings > Network Connections.

3. Set the Airplane Mode switch to On.
