A network plan is SIM-dependent, and its service can be shared among devices just by transferring the SIM card.
If you’re unsure how to put in a SIM card to your tablet, you may consult its user manual.
Inside the Connection Settings screen, you should be able to find an option called “Mobile Data” that will enable your phone’s data connection.
Note that not all phone units, regardless if it’s an Android smartphone or not, has this Portable Hotspot feature. If you can’t find it inside the Connections Settings or anywhere else inside the phone’s Settings screen/menu, then your device does not support this feature.
