Tethering
Clive:
You can see that I now have stratospheric knowledge of my new toy (not really) and I have a use for tethering my Kindle to the phone. The phone says I can do it and gives me the password to join up but the hot spot doesn't appear on the Kindle WiFi list.
Also, what is the USB-C to lightning cable for? It doesn't seem to fit anything at all. :dunno:
Simon:
Never done tethering. The USB-C to lightning cable has lots of uses. Er... maybe for a USB-C charger? :dunno:
Clive:
It may be that I have to turn WiFi off in order to force the phone to run off O2. I'll try it on the iPad if I can extract it from Mrs Clive's grip. .
Unfortunately I have nothing to plug it into. It won't fit the iPad charger, an Android or anything. The USB-C is a little bigger than other USB connectors.

Yes the usb-c to lightning cable is to plug the usb end in to the usb-c charging plug they don't provide. If you haven't had a relatively new iphone recently you probably won't have one that takes the smaller connector ':| if you want to upload pics to a laptop you will also need a lightning to conventional USB cable.
I think you're right about turning off wifi, phones and other devices are awkward like that and will not look for a 4/5 g signal until there are no known wifi hotspots.
Clive:
What a swizz! All that money and they can't even provide a freaking plug for the charger! :(
