I have an iPhone X on 2degrees prepaid. We are visiting Germany (and a few nearby EU countries) shortly and, although we need only limited phone and data availability, I don't want to use 2d roaming.

 

I plan to get a Vodafone prepaid SIM (calling, text and data) when we arrive. The VF Germany website is good and relatively easy to understand but one thing I am not clear about is whether I will be able to use the Mobile Hotspot on my phone to access data on my iPad.

 

There's nothing on the website about this and maybe the answer is simple and obvious - but I don't know. Would be grateful for info on this.

Yes I am aware of that but often will not have access to WiFi - that's why I want to get a SIM.

I guess what I don't understand is whether tethering is a function of the SIM or the phone - or both/either. i.e. given that my phone provides hotspot with 2d prepaid, does that mean it will do the same with any carrier's prepaid?

Both but I doubt they will restrict tethering
