Using 3g dongle on my sony xperia u using otg cable

I have a world call wireless 3g dongle by Huawei.Since i have no wifi in my home i want to connect this dongle with my smartphone and use internet on my smartphone.Is it possible.I know we can connect flash drive to xperia using otg cable,but can it detect 3g dongle and use internet on the smatrphone.

As far as I know the phone only works with flash drives, mouse and keyboard, etc. It will not be able to detect your 3G dongle as standard.

Thanks for the reply.But there might be an app for this purpose or a software of some sort.

You could connect the 3G dongle to a PC > root your Xperia U and intall > reverse tethering
