How data and mobile hotspot work on your plan

How much high-speed data each plan includes, how mobile hotspot works, and what happens if you use it all before your renewal date.

Written by Love

Every Love Mobile plan includes unlimited talk and text, plus a set amount of high-speed data each month. Mobile hotspot is included on every plan at no extra cost.

High-speed data by plan

  • Essential, $15/mo, 1 GB

  • Freedom, $25/mo, 5 GB

  • Elevate, $35/mo, 12 GB

  • Legacy, $55/mo, 22 GB

  • Purpose, $60/mo, 30 GB, exclusive to Love Pink

Your data allowance resets on your renewal date each month.

How mobile hotspot works

Mobile hotspot lets you share your phone's connection with a laptop, tablet, or another device.

  • Hotspot is included on every plan. There is no separate hotspot add-on and no extra fee.

  • Hotspot uses your plan data. It draws from the same monthly high-speed data as your phone, rather than having its own separate allowance.

So if you are on Freedom with 5 GB, that 5 GB covers everything together: browsing on your phone and anything you tether to your hotspot.

Turning hotspot on

  • iPhone: Settings, then Personal Hotspot, then turn on Allow Others to Join.

  • Android: Settings, then Network and internet or Connections, then Hotspot and tethering.

Set a password so only your devices can connect.

Making your data go further

Data only counts when you are off Wi-Fi. A few easy habits stretch a smaller plan a long way:

  • Connect to Wi-Fi at home and at work.

  • Download music, podcasts, and shows over Wi-Fi before you head out.

  • Lower video streaming quality when you are on cellular.

  • Watch hotspot use closely. Laptops and tablets can use data much faster than a phone, especially with automatic updates and cloud backups running.

If you run out before your renewal date

You will not be cut off and you will not be charged a surprise overage. Your speed may be reduced for the rest of your billing cycle, and your full high-speed data returns on your renewal date.

If you are running short every month, you are probably on the wrong tier. You can move up anytime from the Manage My Account page, and the change takes effect at your next billing cycle.
