If you can set up your cellphone as a WiFi hotspot, the ESP8266 can connect to your cellphone's WiFi.
How to set up a hotspot depends on your cellphone provider. For example here's the instructions for the Nexus series of devices: https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/2812516?hl=en
Here's a good starting point for using the ESP8266 in the context of mbed OS: https://docs.mbed.com/docs/mbed-os-api-reference/en/5.1/APIs/communication/wifi/
