Hotspot add-on

Going on an extended trip where you might use more data than you have in your plan? You can make a one-time purchase of 10GB of additional mobile hotspot data for $15. Or you can purchase extra hotspot data on a recurring monthly basis.

To add more mobile hotspot data:

Go to your wireless add-ons. Sign in, if asked.
Choose the line that you want to update by selecting Switch.
Scroll to Get new add-ons and select Hotspot data.
Choose Monthly or One time.
