No, the Extreme is unable to work as a wireless extender to any device except another airport router.
You can use an Express as a wireless bridge and plug the ethernet from express to the Extreme.. rather messy setup and I do not recommend it.
For using a hotspot as internet source I would buy a standard wireless repeater.
Even better would be to get another account with lots of data and a proper 4G wireless router.. once you start trying to use a phone in a more permanent way as internet source it is usually better to go the whole hog.
Another solution is to use USB to tether the phone to your Mac and use Internet Connection Sharing in the Mac to the Extreme via ethernet. An old laptop or a mini would work great.. if you have one laying around.
