Depending on your network provider, you may be charged for this service, especially if you are using the system abroad. We therefore strongly recommend that you use an unlimited data plan. For more information, contact your service provider.
- Depending on the configuration of the Wi-Fi device you are using (refer to the operating manual of your Wi-Fi device for more details), the SIM card of the device may be used in certain cases to provide the data connection for Internet-supported apps and services which use the MMI Wi-Fi hotspot. Depending on your network provider, you may be charged for this service, especially if you are using the system abroad. We therefore strongly recommend that you use an unlimited data plan. For more information, contact your service provider. Some example cases are described below:

- Data plan not valid abroad
- SIM card in the card reader* is not a data SIM card
- SIM card in the card reader* is defective/not valid
