Frequently Asked Questions

How Does My Device Calculate My Hotspot Usage?

Devices calculate hotspot usage based on your network activity. Most of the devices measure data usage in terms of monthly billing cycles. The monthly billing cycle resets on the first of every month. Note that phones usually only store and track data usage for up to a month only.

My Hotspot Is Connected but the Internet Is Not Working. What Should I Do?

First, check if you have mobile data enabled. Then, see if the internet works on the device you created the hotspot with. The Internet may not work if you have reached your bandwidth cap. Check with your carrier to confirm the maximum volume of your mobile internet plan.

Keep in mind that some carriers do not allow hotspot sharing. If that is the case, you need to talk to your carrier to upgrade to a hotspot inclusive plan. They may cost slightly higher depending on your carrier type.
