AirCard 779S Mobile Hotspot

• Make sure that you get a data-enabled SIM:

• Some phone SIMs work, but not all. Best practice is to use a hotspot or tablet SIM.

Phone SIMs and hotspot and tablet SIMs look the same but work dif

ferently on the

network.

• If you want to use 4G L

TE data, make sure that the service provides 4G capability.

• Get the

APN from the service provider:

• The

APN is often listed in the literature that came with the SIM.

• The service provider website might also list the

APN information.

• As a last resort, most service provider

APN information is available through a web

search. For example, search for <service provider name> APN.

• For information about adding, selecting, or removing

APNs, see Configure Your

Hotspot’s Access Point Name on page 50.
