Is there a way to use my data instead of wifi to connect my phone to tv? If so what do I need? I ordered an HDMI cable and that didn't work. I don't have Wi-Fi and want to watch shows and play games from my phone on the tv using my unlimited data. I can only share 5gb if I connect using phone. Was wondering if there is a connection I can use to mirror phone on t.v. Help please. Thank you!

uhm what to you mean you got a cable and it didn't work?
you got a USB -C Cable to HDMI adapter? Or were you trying to plug into the USB on your TV. The USB on the TV won't work - few TV's have the circuity to run video off USB - they are for reading thumb drives and power output for things like a Amazon Fire Stick.
If you got the USB-C to HDMI adapter cable - and I think they make such a thing - there is a setting or app you will need to setup to make it work, IIRC. I only looked into it briefly.
