This app is not free but before you make your mind to purchase this you can trial this tool as it costs around 25$.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/PDA-Net.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-20489\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/PDA-Net.png?resize=199%2C300\" alt=\"PDA Net\" width=\"199\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/PDA-Net.png?w=199&amp;ssl=1 199w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/PDA-Net.png?resize=150%2C226&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 199px) 100vw, 199px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Android tether<\/strong><br \/>\nAndroid tether is again a great tool with which you can tether your device but in this case the software needs to be installed on both the devices on Android smart phone as well as on the computer. This will enable tethering only via USB and not via Bluetooth. Though, the trial version is free but the full version will cost you around 13$. The main USP of this tool is this app has a very simple and easy to use interface.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/android-tether.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-20493\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/android-tether.png?resize=178%2C208\" alt=\"android tether\" width=\"178\" height=\"208\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/android-tether.png?w=178&amp;ssl=1 178w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/android-tether.png?resize=150%2C175&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 178px) 100vw, 178px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Easy Tether<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you ask me what tethering tool is perfect in terms of cost and value then its <a href=\"http:\/\/androidadvices.com\/steps-to-convert-android-phone-into-a-modem-with-easytether\/\" target=\"_blank\">Easy tether application<\/a> which serves the purpose of tethering as it just costs just less than 10$. You can tether via USB but soon the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/connect-mobile-phone-bluetooth-laptop\/\" target=\"_blank\">Bluetooth<\/a> tether option too will come very soon. Though the demo version is free, as told paid version is not that costly too if compared with what various operators charge for tethering. Also this app has a free lifetime upgrade option.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/Easy-tether.gif\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-20494\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/Easy-tether.gif?resize=200%2C300\" alt=\"Easy tether\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tether for Android<\/strong><br \/>\nWish it was as simple as it sounds, Tether for Android. This tool too does the same but this provides blazing high speeds of up to 7Mbps which is mere perfect for a high end user. <a href=\"http:\/\/androidadvices.com\/steps-to-tether-android-phone-use-as-modem-with-pdanet\/\" target=\"_blank\">Tethering<\/a> works via USB and can tether to Mac or Windows based computers. A free trial app is available but a full version will cost you just less than 30$ with a 30 days money back guarantee. The interface if compared to others is bit complex.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/tether-for-android.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-20495\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/tether-for-android-200x300.png?resize=200%2C300\" alt=\"tether for android\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/tether-for-android.png?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/tether-for-android.png?resize=150%2C225&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/tether-for-android.png?w=320&amp;ssl=1 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Barnacle WiFi tether<\/strong><br \/>\nAnother WiFi tethering tool which is called as Barnacle WiFi tethering tool turns your Android device into a portable <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/setup-wifi-hotspot-to-tether-iphone\/\" target=\"_blank\">WiFi hot spot<\/a> so that other WiFi enabled devices like Laptop or PC or even your gaming consoles like XBOX 360 can make use of your data connection of Android smart phone.
