Solved: Re: Free texts

Anonymous · ‎07-11-2016

I have got pocket hotspot and get 100 texts a month with 10Gig of data. I have tried to set up TUGO to send texts, but I get a network error when I try and set it. I need to know how to use the texts.

The texts come with the data sims and are primarily for use in a tablet, rather than a pocket hotspot.
You can get round it with a dongle by putting it in your PC but I can't think of anyway with a hotspot other than putting the sim into another device.

http://static.o2.co.uk/www/docs/kana/o2_huawei_e8278_mobile_broadband_manager_guide.pdf is for a dongle but has the pocket hotspot got the o2 branded interface if so you should be able to send after loging in to the device.

Which model of the o2 pocket hotspot do you have ?

That's what I do with my dongle but didn't know if you could log in to a hotspot the same way.

@MI5 Obviously my experience is from my dongle / wingle that when used as a wifi hotspot on a battery back standalone that is how I used my sms allowance on pay monthly . (Same as the linked document ) so I hope the latest o2 personal hotspots have the same interface as they are the same manufacturer.
