How to set Metered WiFi on Mobile Phone

Marking your SIMO hotspot connection as metered tells your phone to treat it like limited data — so background updates and large automatic downloads don't quietly burn through your plan.

Why meter your Wi-Fi?

• Save data: apps that auto-update or download in the background won't drain your balance.
• Stay in control: you decide where and how your data gets used.

Android (example: Samsung Galaxy, Android 13)

1. Open your Wi-Fi settings.
2. Tap the gear icon next to your network name.
3. Scroll to Metered network.
4. Tap it and choose Treat as metered.

iPhone (example: iOS 14.6 and later)

1. Open your Wi-Fi settings.
2. Tap the info icon next to your network name.
3. Turn on Low Data Mode.

Menu names differ a little across phone models and OS versions, but you're always looking for "metered network" (Android) or "Low Data Mode" (iPhone).
