ZTE Overture (Z995) HotSpot

[TeleRisk]

Contacted ZTE support; they advise to allow this phone to be a Hotspot I would need to install an app. Currently under Settings there is no menu item to enable it as a Hotspot. The phone runs Android 4.1.2.

Support would not recommend a HotSpot App that would enhance this phone to work as a Hotspot so that I could connect my WiFi only Tablet to it to access the data Plan when WiFi is not available for my Tablet.

Anyone successfully update this model to act as a Hotspot...and if so, App that was installed.....

It's been a while since I've used it, and not positive of its compatibility, but have you looked into using FoxFi?

Was this ZTE supplied by a carrier that doesn't allow tethering, using it as a WiFi hotspot. As Breadnatty suggested, give Foxfi a try. AFAIK all ZTEs should have WiFi tethering in them, the ones in China do, but carriers can remove or disable certain features in the customised phones that they supply.
