As it states 

Am using an Aussie sim (Optus) , & have done this before here with the same sim but on a very much older phone Nokia 6210 

This time am tying to do it on a Samsung J2 (my sons old one ) which wasn't good enough for his games 

It looks like I will have to trot down to the IT Center as I would like to get this ready for my return to Auss ( will not use it here)

Am getting an Error 156 ? 

I' ve played around with this & got Ip No. & ect from Optus site 

As you can see I,ve sought of given up myself so any ideas or things I need to know

 

Thanks all if able to help & I'm sure there are better whizes then me

You should be able to tether via USB or Bluetooth, the phone to a PC, and use the mobile data connection.

 

You can also create a mobile access point with the phone, which allows multiple devices to connect via WiFi and use the mobile data connection.

 

I'm a bit confused as to where you are presently, but you'd be better off using a local Thai SIM if in Thailand. Thai mobile providers allow tethering for free. In other countries, service providers may restrict tethering, and charge extra for using that feature.

 

If you are in Australia then maybe check with OPTUS?
