Solved: Re: Pay-As-You-Go tethering and mobile hotspot

Anonymous · ‎22-07-2016

Hi all,

I've recently purchased a Microsoft Lumia 550 running Windows 10 Mobile on O2 Pay-As-You-Go with the £10 Big Bundle, which includes 500 MB of data usage.

I've noticed that the Lumia 550 has a "Mobile hotspot" feature and I'd like to be able to use this to connect my iPod Touch to use a small amount of data.

I've read elsewhere that tethering is not allowed on O2 Pay-As-You-Go and that the mobile hotspot feature is considered tethering.

Can this be confirmed, please.

Many thanks.

Yes, it is tethering and no, not possible on PAYG, sorry.

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

Currently using:
Pixel 7a (O2 & Lyca), One Plus 6 (Sfr), iPhone 12 Pro Max (Vodafone)
