An electronic apparatus is capable of sharing connection information for connecting to a specific communication line with another apparatus. The electronic apparatus includes a first communication unit configured to communicate with a base station through the specific communication line, a second communication unit configured to perform communication different from the communication performed by the first communication unit, a detection unit configured to detect, via the second communication unit, whether the another apparatus is operating, and a controller configured to control communication performed by the first and second communication units. The controller controls, on the basis of a detection result from the detection unit, whether to perform communication through the specific communication line by the first communication unit.
