Hosting through a cell phone(sounds like what your thinking of doing) is not going to be a good idea. While you may get good download/upload speeds with newer generation devices, theres an inherent latency issue with cellular data thats going to make it a really poor option for hosting.

Actually, that's more of an issue with satellite solutions than cellular. I've seen good mobile broadband work as well as DSL and cable of similar speeds. Latency and all.

To say nothing of connection stability or bandwidth caps. Yeep.

Well im wondering because im not trying to host a game 24/7 or stuff like that. Its so i can get people on the game im makeing to test stuff out for me.
Im left with my phone as my only option because i have wi-fi and a lan line but its the schools internet. -college student-

So i repeat "Can i host using the android and PDA net?"

If you already have this equipment and it works, why not just try?

I would say that if you have a laptop, just host through that. Use the Dream Daemon that is in your BYOND program file and you should be good to go.

Open Dream Daemon, browse to the file you want to host, set up the port, then click "Go"...
