  1. Using a phone as a wi-if hotspot


    Hello, I am at my dads for the next two weeks and unfortunately he does not have any wi-if, I still brought my Xbox one and was wondering if I use my phone as a wi-if hot spot how much data will it take up. I only have a limited data plan if 5 gb a month
    and I do not want to use it all on this. I do not play online I only play single player nba 2k15 but you need to be connected to Xbox live to save so this is why I'm asking. My phone is a iPhone 6 with Verizon lte. A response as fast as possible would be greatly
    appreciated.

    :)

    how do i tether my xbox one to my android phone

    If your mobile data plan includes the hotspot feature, you can turn on the phone's wi-fi hotspot, and then connect the Xbox to that hotspot as if it were any other wi-fi router. But be aware that most plans have a limit on how much data you can use to tether,
    and the Xbox would probably use a lot.

    If you go into Poer & startup settings and disable "Automatically download updates and purchases" you shouldn't use more than a couple of hundred kB's every hour.

    Also, If you go to Bandwidth usage in Network settings you can see an hour by hour usage for the last 12 hours and a total monthly usage. That should give you a better idea of your usage.

    Superiorfraze23,

    If you are talking about wanting to download a game that is 6.5 gb. Then yes it will use that much data, maybe a little bit more by the time it is all said and done.
