11.1.4 Tethering & portable hotspot
This function allows you to share your phone's mobile data connection via
USB or as a portable Wi-Fi access point (Please refer to “6.5 Sharing your
phone's mobile data connection”).
11.1.5 VPN settings
A mobile virtual private network (mobile VPN or mVPN) provides mobile
devices with access to network resources and software applications on
their home network, when they connect via other wireless or wired
networks. Mobile VPNs are used in environments where workers need to
keep application sessions open at all times, throughout the working day,
as the user connects via various wireless networks, encounters gaps in
coverage, or suspend-and-resumes their devices to preserve battery life. A
conventional VPN cannot survive such events because the network tunnel
is disrupted, causing applications to disconnect, time out, fail, or even the
computing device itself to crash.
For more information of VPN, please refer to “6.6 Connecting to virtual
private networks”.

11.2 Call settings
Use Call settings to configure normal phone call settings and other special
features offered by your carrier. You can also use Call settings to configure
the phone so that it can place outgoing calls only to a fixed set of phone
numbers.
11.2.1 Fixed Dialling Numbers
Fixed Dialling Number (FDN) is a service mode of SIM, where outgoing
calls are restricted to a set of phone numbers. These numbers are added to
the FDN list. The most common practical application of FDN is for parents
to restrict the phone numbers to which their children can dial.
For security reasons, you’ll be prompted to enable FDN by entering SIM
PIN2 which is usually acquired from your service provider or SIM maker.
