Thank you Susan & Ronni As I mentioned earlier I’m having “fun” with Telstra in relation to the Wireless Modum, Net Gear-Nighthawk, the Modum used 39 GB’s in about 5 hours watching T V Shows. On our House Guests Samsung Phone using “Hotspot’ for 2.5 hours we used 1.4GB’s. A definite problem with the Wireless Modum.
The Entertainment Box will not recognise the iPhone whilst attempting to “hotspot”, so, I tried something different this morning, I put my iPhone's Sim Card into the Samsung and the phone was recognised and I was able to Hotspot, hence my query with using the iPhone. I am actually ‘HotSpotting” with my iPhone through the Computer to write to you. Never a problem connecting to our other Apple products,Computer, Lap Top, iPad(s) or iPhones, it is just the Entertainment Box (purchased from the UK, and is supposed to be Mac friendly) that I am having trouble with. I haven’t had a great loss of data with using the Modum Ronni, before the trouble started, (an on going battle with Telstra), Lynette and I watched two Movies last week for a total of 1.37 GB’s out of 80 GB’s. Our iPhones have a total of 30 GB’s each and hot spotting with our iPhones through our devices is good, we find it hard to use the combined 60 GB’s before the end of the billing cycle. So I’ll go to "Entertainment Box” help and see if they have any suggestions for me. I’ll let you know how I get on. Thanks again both Tony Boddington. > On 15 Jan 2019, at 12:25 pm, Ronni Brown <ro...@mac.com> wrote: > > Also Tony, > > As Susan has mentioned your iPhone will hotspot, but it will cost you a small > fortune in data charges. > > As far as reception goes, that will depend on the area you are in.
