Hello KarinOPayton, we're here to help with your mobile hotspot.

We understand the impact of setting up a mobile hotspot. How do I turn on the mobile hotspot for an Apple device?

How do I turn on the mobile hotspot for an Android device?

First, know your hotspot name and password. Here’s how to find them.

iOS devices: Go to Settings, then Cellular or Personal Hotspot.
Android devices: Go to Settings, then Connections or Networks, and finally Mobile Hotspot and Tethering.

Can’t connect?

Check the internet connection on the device you’re using as a mobile hotspot. If you don’t have mobile data or can’t surf the internet, your hotspot may not work.
On the device you’re trying to get online, make sure you’re connecting to the hotspot’s network name and using the hotspot password.
Try restarting your mobile hotspot device and the device you want to connect.

Let us know if this helps you out!
