Unable to tether while roaming in Spain

I'm trying to tether my laptop from my mobile while I'm here in Spain. I'm using a Cubot King Kong Mini and roaming is fine, but laptop shows connection takes place saying no internet. I'm not finding any info about tethering caps, so how can I fix?  

My access point settings appear to be fine, I have good internet access via phone but won't tether on any other device, I also tried a second phone to no avail. Thanks

Hello @Mishko,

Sounds frustrating, but iD don’t support tethering.

To see more about their policy read the following thread:

Good luck anyway!

Hi @Mishko welcome to the community.

I am sorry to hear that you are having trouble with tethering. May I ask how long you have been in Spain?

Has this worked before, or is this the first time?

My network was stored in the computer, which means I probably got it tested at home in the UK and worked (although I can't remember) I have been here about a week and neither WiFi hotspot nor USB tethering work, roaming works okay only via phone.

Hi @Mishko,

 

Our SIM cards don’t work in MiFi type devices, so this will be why it works in the phone, but not in your other device.

 

Sorry for any disappointment caused.

I didn't use a MIFI router, I tried to hotspot into my laptop. But knowing all this now is a deal breaker, enough to ditch this provider
