With the battery working x2, how is the phone on break?

Modem is better anytime, no call interruption/interference,

No battery getting hot

I dislike this method because of transfer speed.

With usb cord the maximum i get is 3mbps.

It limits download speed.

Moderm can give you up to 20mbps

Una head correct no be small!
Anyone that receives or makes a lot of calls will end up being frustrated while trying to tether with an android phone. Modem is the best alternative in this case!

I can't remember the last time I used a modem I'm steady on my wifi tether using my galaxy phone and in all honesty it doesn't get hot besides the battery drainage is considerably okay for me..... My download speed is just so awesome even more than what modem offers.
NB: when you hear Android phone please don't try using your techno phones with low ram.

What happens if you have to leave the house while someone else needs the internet? Do you leave your phone with the person?
