How do you connect your terminal in an outdoor show ? With my phone data

Hello @Walesandcanada ! Welcome to the Seller Community!

If your cell phone plan offers it, you can link the terminal to your phone's hotspot. Each phone is different in how to set up the hotspot, but once you do, all you have to do is look for your phone's name in the wireless list on the terminal and enter your password. 

One thing I learned the hard way: the night before your show, have your terminal on and plugged in while on a wireless network. The terminal may need a software update, and if you get stuck at your event with the update pending, it may completely use up your hotspot data before you can even use it.
