My Android as a Router

Anonymous
Not applicable

My wife and I will be moving in the next couple of months and where we're going  to Internet access is hopeless. A measly 1Mb.

 

Can I use my Samsung Galaxy Mini GT-10195 as router for my PC?  If so can anyone give me instructions.

@Anonymous Yes you can, but you will need a tariff with a great deal of data and that will be very expensive.

Only if you have an o2 contract, are in the UK and have a very large data allowance.

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)

Thanks, Bambino... That's enough for me to be getting on with. If I have a problem I'll be back in a couple of months or so...!!

 

Thanks to MI5 for the input too...
