You can use your phone's mobile data to connect your Pixel Tablet to the Internet when you don't have access to a Wi-Fi network. When you share a connection this way, it's called tethering or using a hotspot.
Some mobile data providers limit data usage or charge extra when you tether to other devices. We recommend that you check with your provider before you activate these features.
