How much does a 100GB hotspot get you?
A month of free hotspot?
Really. That must be some kind of mistake. According to The Wirecutter, for the price of a single night out, you can buy 100GB of hotspot time with all of the features included in T-Mobile's prepaid plans. Even with those perks, though, you'll only be getting about 1GB a day of 4G LTE data, leaving you without a means of tethering and using the internet at home, on the go and while you're sleeping. The one benefit you get that it's not included in all of the other plans is that T-Mobile has built-in mobile Wi-Fi calling, so you don't have to use a phone number to use your hotspot.
Does T-Mobile have a 100 GB plan?
Yes.
And it is a great one.
I've heard about T-Mobile's new 100 GB plan. Will I be able to use that on my iPad and iPhone? Yes, you can. There are a couple of ways to go about this. One way is to have your iPad and iPhone connect to your computer or Mac and do the transfer over Wi-Fi.e. This is what we suggest in our article about how to move data between your iPhone and iPad.
Another way to get data from your iPhone or iPad onto your computer is through the USB cable. T-Mobile's website explains how to transfer data through the cable. The cable connects your iPad or iPhone to your computer and vice versa.
Another option is to get a USB 3.0 memory card and insert it into your iPad or iPhone. This will take about a minute.
How do I transfer data from my iPad or iPhone to my computer? It is relatively easy. All you need is a T-Mobile USB cable. Insert the cable into your computer and into your iPhone or iPad.
I have a T-Mobile 4G LTE data plan. Can I get data from my iPad or iPhone to my computer? You will need to buy a data cable from T-Mobile. T-Mobile sells two different ones. One is a T-Mobile USB cable, and the other is a T-Mobile USB to USB 3.0 cable.
If you are using Windows, your best bet is to get the T-Mobile USB cable. It is pretty inexpensive.
What if I want to transfer data from my iPad or iPhone to my computer? There are several ways to do this. You can use a T-Mobile USB cable or you can use a USB 3. T-Mobile does not sell a USB 3.0 card.
How do I transfer data from my computer to my iPad or iPhone? This is fairly easy. You can do it through your computer or Mac or through your phone.
Do I need a USB 3. I don't have a computer or Mac. Can I still transfer data from my iPhone or iPad to my computer?
How long does 100GB of hotspot last streaming?
Hi everyone.
I have the AT&T hotspot which is 100GB of hotspot. I'm wondering how long that hotspot would last? Does anyone have an idea how many hours? I don't have any wifi devices connected to my laptop when I stream.
Re: ? I have a 100GB hotspot and it has lasted over 9 hours streaming on Netflix HD. I think that was on a 3G connection (my wife is a different story, her hotspot lasted maybe 5 hours). I would think that you could get up to an hour or two for sure.
When using the 100 GB hotspot on my AT&T LG Optimus G, I am able to stream at least 3.5 hours without interruption. My hotspot also allows me to stream Netflix and Hulu on my phone with no issues.
I've been using it for 2 hours, with no issues so far. I also had a 50gb hotspot from the same carrier and it lasted 5 hours. I don't think you're going to get that much time, but it's still worth it for the price. I just use the hotspot for streaming video. In my experience I get anywhere from 1 to 2 hours of streaming video before I start to get the "streaming is interrupted" message. I have used this hotspot on my iPad, iPhone 4, Samsung Galaxy S2 and the LG Optimus G.
