    Wee question for you does the password set in configure wi fi hotspot? this looks right to me but i just want to make sure that everyone cant use the wi-fi from my phone without the password?

    Thanks

    yes

    there is already a default password so nobody can access it without your say so - I just found it too ambiguous so changed it

    I thought that was it but wanted to double check

    got my samsung 10" tablet from santa - figured I stick to wifi only version

    here at my mums for the day - she dont got wifi and my tab dont got 3g :eek:

    my g300 came to the rescue
    :D

    settings ,tethering, set wifi password

    my samsung tablet is now sucking 3g from g300

    no slouch either - in fact my boys ipad is wifi only so he's hooked up and sucking off my g300 too

    g300 is definatly a class act for a lousy £70 ish

    in fact its now been nominated as the best £70 i've ever spent


    Tell me about it!
    :money:

    My son's partner has just got a G300 for Xmas to match his! They currently live in rented accommodation whilst they look for a place of their own so didn't want a landline. After much deliberation I managed to get them a Virgin SIM for £17/mth that allowed tethering and offered:

    1200 mins
    u/l texts
    u/l data
    tethering included as standard

    His partner didn't need anything like this sort of deal so we went with Ovivo free sim (no unlocking required as use Vodafone) which gives her

    100 mins
    100 texts
    300mb data

    Really great thing is when they are both at home she tethers her phone to his for wifi so as not to reduce her data allowance. Some nights both her G300 and the netbook is accessing the net via the WiFi hotspot on the G300 being powered by the Virgin SIM! Like you say, the best £70 you will ever spend!

    Data settings only affect data reception but your sim card affects yourcalls and message reception


    Do any of your sims allow calling ?

    Otherwise its only £5 to get unlock code for g300 within 48 hours

    Vectone does not use Voda as a carrier, I think it's EE T Mobile etc so won't work, you need to get it unlocked if you want to use Vectone
    It's not just about the money
