Hi,
I have a laptop and I don’t know much about the Internet, but I am taking online courses. I need to know if I purchase the mobile Hotspot, am I going to have to buy something else in order for me to go online?

Sorry no one answered this for you. Yes, you will have to buy a data plan from one of the cell phone companies.
