DSC03694For those of you who already got your Nexus 5X and are a Verizon subscriber, we got just the tip for you.  Yes, both Nexus devices work on Verizon.  Want to make use of the Wi-Fi hotspot feature but don’t want to pay the extra fee to access it?  We can get you there in just a few short and easy steps.  The only thing you’ll need is a SIM tool to make this happen.

  • Use a SIM tool to pop out the SIM card but not all of the way.  Just enough so the phone can’t read it.
  • Push the SIM card back in and wait 5 seconds.
  • Then turn the Wi-Fi hotspot toggle On and you’re good to go.

That’s it!  We told you it was short and easy.  Now you can utilize the Hotspot feature w/o having to pay additional charges for it on your 5X.   This method also applies to AT&T customers as well.  If you need to see the visuals, check out the video below

BTW, we’re still finishing our reviews on both the Nexus 5X and the Nexus 6P as they should be up on Monday.

Thanks, P3Droid
