    Possibly, but keep in mind that satellite internet is usually slower than other types of internet, so you probably won't get really high speeds.

    How can I set up satellite Internet on my mobile phone?

    You should be able to see your satellite internet as a Wifi location. Click on the location that has the name of your network, then enter your password. You should be connected. Be sure you have a strong internet password that is not easily guessed. Hesitate using your phone for money transactions; you are opening yourself up to credit and identity theft each time. Don't use public hotspots for the same reason.

    Is a meter application provided in order to keep track of what is downloaded or uploaded so the limits are not exceeded?

    Most ISPs provide a usage meter which is accessible via your account dashboard. It records your downloads and uploads as separate totals for each 24-hour period, with access to their websites as unmetered usage. I suggest you contact your ISP Sales & Support team for more details.

    Satellite internet is not free and it tends to be pricier than many types of internet. Get price information from the different ISP's websites.
