Expert Answer

Possibly, but keep in mind that satellite internet is usually slower than other types of internet, so you probably won't get really high speeds.

Question

How can I set up satellite Internet on my mobile phone?

Community Answer

You should be able to see your satellite internet as a Wifi location. Click on the location that has the name of your network, then enter your password. You should be connected. Be sure you have a strong internet password that is not easily guessed. Hesitate using your phone for money transactions; you are opening yourself up to credit and identity theft each time. Don't use public hotspots for the same reason.

Question

Is a meter application provided in order to keep track of what is downloaded or uploaded so the limits are not exceeded?

Community Answer

Most ISPs provide a usage meter which is accessible via your account dashboard. It records your downloads and uploads as separate totals for each 24-hour period, with access to their websites as unmetered usage. I suggest you contact your ISP Sales & Support team for more details.

Question

Is satellite Internet free? How much does it cost?

Community Answer

Satellite internet is not free and it tends to be pricier than many types of internet. Get price information from the different ISP's websites.
