How do I use my phone on my Sky tablet?

Answered by Robert Flynn

To use your phone on your Sky tablet, you can set up a Wi-Fi hotspot on your phone and connect your tablet to it. Here are the steps to do so:

1. Go to the Settings on your phone. You can usually find the Settings app in your app drawer or by swiping down from the top of the screen and tapping the gear icon.

2. In the Settings menu, scroll down and select “More” or “More settings.” This option may vary slightly depending on your phone’s manufacturer and Android version.

3. Look for the option called “Tethering & portable hotspot” and tap on it. This is where you can configure your phone’s hotspot settings.

4. In the Tethering & portable hotspot menu, you will see various options. Select “Wi-Fi hotspot” to set up a Wi-Fi hotspot on your phone.

5. In the Wi-Fi hotspot settings, you will see an option to “Set up Wi-Fi hotspot.” Tap on it to proceed.

6. Now, you need to enter a Wi-Fi hotspot password. This password will be required to connect your tablet to your phone’s hotspot. Make sure to choose a strong password of at least 8 characters that includes a combination of letters, numbers, and symbols. Once you have entered the password, select “SAVE” to save your settings.

7. At this point, your Wi-Fi hotspot is set up. To turn on the hotspot, simply toggle the switch next to “Wi-Fi hotspot” to the “ON” position. You may also have the option to customize the hotspot name (SSID) if desired.

8. On your Sky tablet, go to the Settings menu and look for the Wi-Fi option. Tap on it to see the available Wi-Fi networks.

9. Your phone’s hotspot should appear in the list of available networks. Tap on it to connect.

10. When prompted, enter the Wi-Fi hotspot password that you set up on your phone. This is the password you entered in step 6.

11. Once you have entered the password, your tablet should connect to your phone’s hotspot. You should now be able to access the internet on your tablet using your phone’s mobile data connection.

It’s important to note that using your phone as a Wi-Fi hotspot may consume your mobile data, so make sure you have an adequate data plan or are connected to a Wi-Fi network yourself to avoid excessive charges.

Additionally, the process of setting up a Wi-Fi hotspot and connecting to it may vary slightly depending on the make and model of your phone and tablet. The steps provided here should generally work, but if you encounter any difficulties, referring to the user manuals or contacting the manufacturer’s support may provide more specific instructions for your devices.

I hope this guide helps you in using your phone on your Sky tablet. Enjoy the convenience of staying connected on the go!
