I have a Nokia Lumia 735 with Windows 10 installed, and wanted to create a hotspot so that I would be able to browse websites on my Dell Venue Pro 11 7140 tablet - which also has Windows 10 on it.
The mobile phone sim card is a contract - sim only contract - and wits a company call "Three" which gives me an allowance of 4gb per month data.
I know for a fact that I've only used up 400mb of my monthly allowance so far, so I havent run out of data by any means.
I managed to create a hotspot on the phone using the app "Hotspot Lite". The message "hotspot created did come up on the phone.
After this I went to the Dell Tablet and selected the option of "connect to hotspot" and pressed the "connect" button (after of course putting in the Key)
Although the good news is that connection was successful, the message that came up is "connected secure - no internet"
Also in Microsoft Edge the website for "Three.co.uk" launched itself and the web page stated " you have run out of data"
This is mystifying as I definitely DO have data on my sim card ( I double checked by testing the browser on the mobile phone to see if that was the case - it was)
Please does anyone perhaps have some idea what hurdle I need to overcome here. Its the first time I have ever dealt with hotspots so I am proper novice here.
