We select the qr code which it recognises as my phone but then still cannot get access to Internet unless using WiFi access which we don't want as trying to avoid roaming charges. What is going wrong?</P> Thu, 31 Jul 2025 10:41:14 GMT Aew71 2025-07-31T10:41:14Z https://community.ee.co.uk/t5/Other-phones-Devices/Mobile-hotspot-and-tethering/m-p/1552692#M26010 <P>I am trying to tether another phone to mine for mobile hotspot.

Can you use mobile data on the device you're using to host the hotspot?</P> Thu, 31 Jul 2025 11:05:10 GMT https://community.ee.co.uk/t5/Other-phones-Devices/Mobile-hotspot-and-tethering/m-p/1552697#M26011 bristolian 2025-07-31T11:05:10Z
