Hey guys, today I’m going to teach you something very simple but very useful. If you are one of those folks who enjoy rocking free browsing on their phone or perhaps just have much data on your smartphone and you really want to look up something on the Internet using your PC then I’m sure you will be grateful to know that you can share your phone’s Internet connection with your PC. Yes, this can be done via WI-FI but most of our desktops don’t have wireless connection so we are going to use a USB cable this time.

THINGS TO NOTE

1. This tutorial applies to Android.
2. This method doesn’t remove any network restrictions you may have, for example if you subscribed for the Airtel WhatsApp pack you cannot use this because that plan is only for WhatsApp and won’t work on other apps.
3. The connection may not be very fast.
