Anyone else tried this. Setup phone as server hotspot. Connect tablet wirelessly to phone hot spot. Watch movies on Netflix. Works like a charm as long as you have phone service. I have art and works fine at campground r Shafer in ga.

Certainly works... just watch your data usage - unless you have an unlimited data plan...
(Not all providers allow you to run a hotspot either...)

One plus one phone and unlimited plan from walmart

If your 'unlimited plan from Walmart' is Straight Talk - it is a violation of their Terms of Service to use 'tethering' or 'hotspot' functions:

STRAIGHT TALK UNLIMITED PLANS CANNOT BE USED FOR: ANY APPLICATIONS THAT TETHER YOUR DEVICE TO A LAPTOP OR PERSONAL COMPUTER OTHER THAN FOR THE USE OF WIRELESS SYNC.

While Straight Talk does offer their own 'hotspot' devices - there is nothing unlimited about them - you pay by the GB used.

If you get their attention with your data use - people have reported data restrictions up to service termination (phone rendered useless, number lost, and remaining time lost). Use at your own risk...

(Of course if it's not Straight Talk - and the provider allows it - watch all you want... )

If you have T-Mobile, they now have their "Binge-On" feature. With it you can stream video from some providers to your heart's content without impacting your data plan or hitting a data cap.

Setup your smartphone as your hotspot, (plug it in to a power supply).

A couple of things to note about Binge-On:

• T-Mobile re-encodes those services so that they use less bandwidth reducing quality, and
• It is probably illegal and may not last long: Stanford study: T-Mobile's Binge On is 'likely illegal' | The Verge
