With PdaNet+, your phone can become a modem for your laptop.

Through a process called “tethering,” PdaNet+ turns your phone into a modem that your laptop can use. You don’t have to worry about finding a Wi-Fi hotspot because of this feature. As long as your cell phone has data service, you can use your laptop to work online.

The Android version of PdaNet+ can connect to a Direct Hotspot either through a USB cable or over Wi-Fi. If you don’t mind being interrupted, you can use the free version of PdaNet+. However, as of late 2018, the full version costs less than $10 and gives you full access to secure websites after a 30-day trial period.

Note: Many smartphones now have built-in hotspots, which you can usually find in Settings > Tethering (or similar term). If your phone can do this, you don’t need an app for it.
