FreeSwim2004,

Let's clear up any confusion there may be. The Mobile Hotspot is to use when wifi connection is not available. For example, you are in a car driving and you have a tablet that is wifi only. You can turn on your hotspot and the tablet can tap in and use your hotspot to get on the internet. I hope this clears up any confusion there may be.

I am thankful for all of your help, but am afraid that I am still

confused.  If we use our tablet that is wifi only on the ellipsis 7

hotspot, will that use data?

FreeSwim2004,

No worries. I am glad that we are able to get this cleared up. Yes! If you have a tablet that is wifi only and connect to your Ellipsis 7 hotspot it will use your data from your plan.

So just to clarify there is no benefit to the hotspot other than connecting non cellular tablets to wifi?

FreeSwim2004,

Great question! Hotspot is not just for tablets. It is for anything that is wifi capable. It provides you the internet that you may need in certain situations.
