£25 Annual WIFI Charge

agree with Ian....

ive never used the CC network (and dont intend to....) however, if one device can connect to a network by wifi, why cant the other (unless its years onld and doesnt have wifi) in its own right? why should any 'routing' be involved?

using one device to 'route' a 3/4G signal to other devices (that might not have 3/4g connectivity in their own right) using a 'hotspot' (via bluetooth or wifi) is the accepted form of tethering as far as i am aware...

i am currently connected to the Vodafone network with my Iphone yet typing this on my ipad, via my 'tethering' of my ipad to my iphone's 'hotspot', using bluetooth to link the devices.

for some, its very difficult to understand the difference between a mobile signal and a wifi signal....and use one term when they mean the other....

well on my mobile phone in front of me there is an option in seetings called internet sharing, it has a further option for this to be done over wifi and bluetooth. Once turned on it transmits its own wifi signal for other devices to share data with, along with a wifi name (which i can see on the laptop wifi settings) and its own password. It is a wifi signal as it still works when i turn the mobile signal off

i often use it to control my DSLRs through the phone Canon Conect app (its also sees when the camera is seeing) 

Yes Corners....that's what we just said.

Your phone receives a 3G / 4G signal and is capable of acting as a wifi hub/ hotspot / myfi / internet sharing device. Other devices can tben connect to it via wifi or bluetooth.

What mobile do you have corners? Just checked on my iPhone, and if I turn mobile data off, my use phone as a hotspot option, is no longer available. I don't seem to have another internet sharing option.

still confused, with the mobile signal option turned off, I can turn internet sharing on and see the phone wifi name in the list of wifi signals on my laptop. The phone itself is conected to the home wifi. The phone acts as a wifi transmitter.

Its a very old Nokkia windows phone

The phone will still appear in the lap top's list of wifi signals, as will any other wifi signal that you have previously connected to.

But just because it's in the list, it doesn't mean the lap top can connect to it.

My i-Pad still shows the CC wifi in the list, but I can't connect to it from home.

Mine does not Ian. It might stay there for a few minutes after it becomes unavailable, but as soon as it searches for new options it disappears. It is the same with my MiFi, it only shows when it is switched on, as soon as I turn it off it is rapidly removed from the list.

Perhaps the reason then corners. It seems as though your phone is acting like a router.

but the wifi name only appears on the list when the phone is turned on to internet sharing and disapers when the I switch internet sharing off. It must have a wifi signal otherwise my DSLR wouldn't be able to conect to it via te canon app, on my laptop its called display avialable networks, not every one ever conected to
