How do I use Wi-Fi in my holiday home?

It is also possible to use an existing mobile phone to act as hotspot, to bring Wi-Fi to your holiday home.  The phone just needs to be “unlocked” and will need to be connected to the Vodafone network with a relevant SIM card.  

Creating a Wi-Fi hotspot on your Android or iOS device can be a convenient way to share your mobile data with other devices and users in your holiday home.
