How does/will using this phone as a hot spot work since it's unlocked and not from carrier's.
 
The other thread has the owner's manual link, look on page 49.

Here's what it says:
Wi-Fi hotspot
Note: This phone supports apps and services that may use a lot
of data, so make sure your data plan meets your needs.
Contact your service provider for details.
You can make your phone a Wi-Fi hotspot to provide portable,
convenient internet access to other Wi-Fi enabled devices.
Note: Keep it secure. To protect your phone and hotspot from
unauthorized access, it is strongly recommended that you set
up hotspot security (WPA2 is the most secure), including
password.
Find it: Apps > Settings > More > Tethering & portable
hotspot and check Portable Wi-Fi hotspot
Note: These steps may vary depending on your network.
1 Your phone turns off Wi-Fi and uses the mobile network for
internet access. Tap Set up Wi-Fi hotspot to set up security:
• Network name: Enter a unique name for your hotspot.
• Security: Select the type of security you want: None or
WPA2. For WPA2, enter a unique password that others
will need to access your Wi-Fi hotspot.
Note: WPA2 is recommended by IEEE.
• Password: Create a password with at least eight
characters.
2 Tap SAVE.
When your Wi-Fi hotspot is active, other Wi-Fi enabled devices
can connect by entering your hotspot’s Network name,
