part of your data plan. Data

usage through Wi-Fi does not

count against your AT&T data

usage.

network

To get started, click the

blue Connect button in

the Mobile section. Once

connected, launch your

Note: Upon initial connection to the Internet, some of the software on

your device may check for updates. Operating systems, virus protection

software, and other software applications (i.e. tax software, iTunes, etc.)

may request permission to get updates or connect directly to ensure

that you have the most current version on your device. Although such

update checks are intended to be helpful, the updates can involve

transferring a significant amount of data over your network connection.

AT&T recommends that you control and monitor your usage to stay

within your data plan limits. For large updates, AT&T recommends that

you consider using Wi-Fi.

•Connect via Wi-Fi

To get started, select a Wi-Fi

network in the Wi-Fi network

list by clicking on it and

then click the blue Connect

button. Once connected,

launch your browser, email

or other Internet application.

To view available Wi-Fi

networks click rescan. To

disconnect, click the orange

Disconnect button.

Note: WiFi enabled laptop

required.

charge with a DataConnect plan. “AT&T Wi-Fi Hot Spot” will
