It is no longer news that you can use your phone to connect to the internet either through Bluetooth or your phone's data cable.
For years now, I have always used my phone to connect to the internet and I love using it because for me it is very convenient. All I get to do is power on the Bluetooth on both devices and with a couple clicks I'm connected.
