If you’re looking for connectivity on road trips, support for remote learning or a reliable way to share data on-the-go, a mobile hotspot is a great solution. Mobile hotspots turn your smartphone into a portable WiFi network, letting you share your phone’s cellular data with laptops and tablets nearby. Think of it as carrying a mini router in your pocket – one that works anywhere you have cell service.
For families, this flexibility can be a game-changer. Kids can stream shows in the car; students can do homework during road trips and parents can check emails and join video calls when they step away from their desks.
While almost every carrier offers hotspot capabilities, the amount of data, speed, coverage and cost can vary widely. Choosing the right plan can help families avoid surprise limits and stay connected when it matters most.
Spectrum Mobile® delivers two mobile plans that include hotspot data – without hidden fees or long-term contracts:
Unlimited: Unlimited talk, text and data. Includes hotspot data at no extra cost (Hotspot speeds are reduced after 5 GB of high-speed use per line). A great option for those who use hotspots infrequently.
Unlimited Plus: Unlimited talk, text and data with added benefits like Anytime Upgrade and free roaming. 10 GB of high-speed hotspot data per line (speeds reduced after 10 GB). A strong option for those who frequently stream or work remotely on hotspots.
Because hotspot data is included in these two Spectrum Mobile plans, you don’t need a separate “hotspot plan.” But if you have family members who don’t use mobile hotspots or who generally use less data in a month, our By the Gig plan is a great alternative.
Spectrum doesn’t lock you into long-term contracts, so you have the flexibility to switch to a new plan at any time. With Spectrum Mobile, each family member can choose the right option for themselves and build a personalized, flexible setup together.
With Spectrum Mobile, your family can count on strong, reliable connectivity whether you’re at home or on-the-go. Powered by a leading nationwide 5G network and boosted by 48 million Spectrum WiFi Access Points across the country, staying connected has never been easier. When coverage is limited, our Access Points help to fill in the gaps, providing Spectrum Mobile devices with speeds up to 1 Gig for fast app downloads, smoother browsing and high-quality streaming. Our Access Points also keep your browsing data safe with stronger security protocols than traditional public WiFi networks.
Spectrum Mobile plans are designed with families in mind. If you’re shopping for the best cell phone plans for kids and teens, a reliable network can help keep everyone connected safely and affordably – and Spectrum Mobile makes it simple with features like:
No contracts or hidden hotspot fees – what you see is what you get.
Nationwide 5G access with fast, reliable service across the U.S. with WiFi Access Points, providing seamless connectivity when you need it most.
Speed Boost with Advanced WiFi which gives Spectrum Mobile devices faster speeds when connected to Advanced WiFi.

The ability for families to make changes at any time. Need to add a line? You can do it online through the My Spectrum App or in-store. And you can adjust plans month to month as needs change.
We make it easy to build a plan that works for your budget, usage and family. You can add up to 20 lines, mix Unlimited and By the Gig options and use your plan with confidence. Plus, Spectrum Internet customers get even more value, with one Unlimited Mobile line included for a full year at no cost.
Because every family uses data differently, having the ability to mix and match lines matters. Spectrum Mobile makes that simple with flexible Mobile plans designed to fit your household’s needs.
With transparent data thresholds, reliable coverage and family-friendly features, Spectrum Mobile offers a smart, practical choice for keeping your household connected.
