TELUS Mobile Internet
Data-only plans for tablets, laptops, hotspots and connected devices.
Mobile internet is data without a phone number attached — the plan that goes on a tablet, a mobile hotspot, a laptop with a SIM, or a connected device like a camera or a vehicle. It is a different product from home internet and from a phone plan, and it is the one people most often end up overpaying for by tethering off a phone instead. If you regularly work away from a desk, a dedicated data plan is usually both cheaper and more reliable.

What it is for
The common cases are all variations on needing a connection where there is no fixed line and no Wi-Fi worth trusting. If the device in question is a tablet, the plan usually goes on the account you already have.
- Tablets — an iPad or Galaxy Tab that works away from Wi-Fi
- Mobile hotspots for a work site, a vehicle or travel
- Laptops with a built-in SIM or eSIM
- Connected devices — cameras, trackers, vehicle systems
- A backup connection for a home office when the fixed line goes down
Adding it to an account you already have
A data-only line usually sits alongside your existing plan on the same account and the same bill, which is generally cheaper than a standalone arrangement and simpler to manage. If you have a family or business account, the data allowance can often be shared rather than bought separately for each device — worth checking, because it changes the arithmetic considerably.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the same as home internet?
No. Home internet serves a fixed address. Mobile internet is a data plan that travels with a device, which is why it suits tablets, hotspots and equipment that moves.
Can I just tether from my phone instead?
You can, and for occasional use that is fine. If you rely on it regularly, a dedicated data plan usually costs less than the data you would add to your phone plan, and it does not drain your phone battery or drop when you take a call.
Can I add a data plan to my existing account?
Yes, and that is normally the better route — same account, same bill, and on family or business accounts the data can often be shared across lines.
