So your trying to connect the samsung to the iphone yes?

When a device is successfully connected to the iphone it will show a little (1) next to the wifi symbol telling you how many devices are connected. Does it say 1?

Ahh you want to use the net off the samsung on the iphone, then the iphone won't show the 1 symbol so ignore that.

And you said the wifi passwords are correct too so can't be that. Does the internet work fine on the samsung that your trying to use for the internet connection? Silly question but just asking

What SIM do you have in the iPhone? If it's a TMobile unlimited data contract SIM, they don't permit tethering.

It's the other way around. iPhone is connected to a Wi-Fi of the Samsung. I'd try to connect some other device to the network and see if that one works. If it doesn't the problem is on the Samsung side, otherwise it's the iPhone.

Do Vodafone actively block tethering?
