Is the Franklin T9 hotspot unlimited?

How much is a hotspot per month?

In a nutshell, this is all you need to know to make an informed decision about your next hotspot.

Hotspot plans. The most common way to sign up for a hotspot plan is to buy one that is billed by the month. There are usually three plans: Pay As You Go - You pay as you go and are charged based on how much data you use. Pay As You Go with Rollover Data - You pay as you go, but once you've used your data allowance for the month, you can roll it over to the next month. Pay As You Go with Rollover Data (for more than one month) - You pay as you go, and the unused data from one month rolls over to the next month. We have a guide that explains these plans and also explains how to check if you're using your hotspot data. Hotspot data usage. How do I know how much data I've used? If you want to know exactly how much data you've used, you can view your monthly usage by logging into your O2 account. To find it, log in to your account and then select the menu icon in the top right-hand corner. Click the link that says "View Your Bill".

This will take you to a screen that shows your usage for the month. You can see the number of megabytes you've used and the number of GB you've used.

You can also see how many megabytes you've used over a rolling 12-month period and how many GB you've used. O2 Hotspot app. How can I use my hotspot data? To use your hotspot data, open the O2 Hotspot app and connect your phone to the hotspot. If you haven't been prompted to do this already, you should be shown the splash screen when you open the app.

Your mobile network data will be disconnected while you're using the hotspot and re-connected when you disconnect. This way, you won't have to worry about turning your data on and off every time you want to use your hotspot. To turn your data on and off, open the app and tap the settings button. When you're connected to your phone's data network, the data is connected automatically.

Is T-Mobile hotspot truly unlimited?

T-Mobile is giving all existing 4G LTE customers unlimited access to its hotspots, though it also allows new 3G/2G and 4G LTE customers to subscribe at prices based on data usage per month.

Does this count as unlimited? Read our FAQ on T-Mobile hotspots to find out if you can have it all.

The answer is pretty straightforward: I do not use the T-Mobile Hotspot for any reason. It's that simple.

My wife and I use our T-Mobile 2-gig (that's GSM) phone that connects to our T-Mobile LTE service. I tether my iPad Air to the phone through Bluetooth 4. Data plan. She gets an unlimited T-Mobile phone.

The 2GB is more than enough for us. No music. No video. No surfing the Web. Just our apps (and our kids' apps)

Now, a couple months ago, I checked our bill online and there it was. That's a lot. And even though I have no more data usage than that number represents, the price has risen since we bought the 2 gig.

What I'm confused about is, why does T-Mobile make you pay for using the hotspot? If I were making this decision now, I would never get the 2 gig plan. I probably wouldn't get T-Mobile at all. But I got the plan last year when I had a grandfathered unlimited plan, which T-Mobile was great about maintaining, so the change wasn't a problem.

Today, the situation is so bizarre. If I didn't have the hotspot, I wouldn't be paying the money to T-Mobile for data.

When I used to talk to T-Mobile customer service reps, they all had the same response. They didn't have the data plan (I was grandfathered), but said they couldn't cut my data charges.

Is the Franklin T9 hotspot unlimited?

I'm planning on purchasing the T9 from Franklin.

I currently use a Netgear Nighthawk X5 and it has no problem running multiple antennas at once. The model they have in mind is the Franklin T9.

Can anyone give me an idea of if the T9 will have the same amount of channels as my current X5 has? Can anyone tell me if the T9 is unlimited or not? I'd like to hear your thoughts on it. If you look at the spec sheet of the T9, the specs are actually listed as "2.4GHz" although the actual device will be operating at 5GHz. As for other hotspots, I don't have any info to offer on that other than your experience with the Nighthawk X5.

That's why I would be very interested in hearing if the current X5 supports 5Ghz. If it does not, then I'll purchase the T9, but only after I compare it to the X5.

I have not heard about the T9 allowing 5Ghz. The Netgear Nighthawk supports it if the signal is strong enough. So, I just left it and put my old Verizon SIM card back in.

Thanks for all your responses. I guess I have two questions now, one, does the Netgear Nighthawk X5 only work at 2.4Ghz or does it also work at 5Ghz as well? Two, how does the Netgear Nighthawk X5 do when running multiple antennas at the same time? Is it limited or not?

You say "the Netgear Nighthawk X5 only works at 2." The X5 and later series do NOT support 5Ghz unless you have a custom firmware.

How long will 30 GB of hotspot last?

I like to share my web surfing habits with my kids so they are not spoiled.

I use a 30 GB hotspot with them whenever we go out and leave it on and they surf for a few hours until they are finished, then we stop surfing, turn it off, plug back into the regular wireless connection and resume surfing, using their personal data.

I'm wondering, what is the expected time for a hotspot with these settings to run out of storage space? Will it run out much faster than usual? How long does this typically last? Any other suggestions on how I could best utilize this hotspot and my monthly data plan? Re: ? This depends entirely on what you're doing with the connection. If you have lots of connections (ie: using that network for multiple computers at once) that uses up quite a bit of bandwidth, it can be very slow. If it's just a single computer, it will work fine, assuming you're not running all kinds of background tasks that use up a lot of bandwidth.

So with your setup, if each kid surfs for 2 hours and doesn't even do much downloading, you'll easily get 10 GB of usage in two hours (30 GB divided by 2 kids). So depending on what else you use the hotspot for, you should be fine.

That being said, most people get 30-60 minutes of screen time per day (myself included), so if you want it to last longer, you need to limit that. There's a number of sites out there that are useful to do this.

Also, if your kids get frustrated if you don't turn it off every time they finish, consider creating a script that will connect to the hotspot and lock it off (you can also look into parental control apps that will check for updates to their firmware). For a short-term solution, you might want to check into a 3G USB dongle that can sit permanently attached to one of their laptops. This is effectively no different from a mobile hotspot, but has a built in battery and can also plug into a regular USB port on the same laptop. This will save on battery life, but can be a pain to carry around, unless you have an extra USB port somewhere.
