SWAPPING THE SIM CARD
The Winegard ConnecT 2.0 "Runs with Togo" unit comes ready for use out of the box, preinstalled with a unique Togo Roadlink SIM card that supports the fastest speeds available without the threat of throttling. Unlike some other hotspot data plans, the Togo plans allow you to decide what data plan is right for you within a given period and will not charge overages or throttle your speeds at any point. If more data is needed in a given month additional plans may be purchased. See www.att.com/togo for the latest information on Togo Plans.
At the time this document was written, the Winegard ConnecT 2.0 supports Winegard's FreedomGo Data Plans, The Togo/AT&T DataConnect Pass Plans, AT&T, and Verizon Wireless.
Visit www.winegard.com/connect to view currently approved carriers.
Winegard has no control over hotspot data plans through your provider. Please check with your provider on data plans.
If you choose to use your own 4G/LTE plan, you will need your cellular provider to supply you with an approved SIM card (Mini-SIM/Standard SIM 25mm x 15mm x 0.76mm). You may also need them to provide the correct APN (Access Point Name) for this SIM card. We have listed the current APNs below, but they are subject to change at the provider's discretion. When you contact your cellular provider you may be required to provide them with some information:
- Type of connection – Data only
- Type of device – Mobile Hotspot
- IMEI Number – This number will be located on the front of the user manual or in the About page of the software
Cellular Provider | APN (Access Point Name) |
AT&T | broadband |
VERIZON | vzwinternet |
Once you have the SIM card from your cellular provider, you are ready to swap out the Togo Roadlink SIM. In order to do this, follow these instructions:

- Start with the ConnecT 2.0 powered off.
- Remove the 2 Phillips head screws that attach to the SIM card cover plate.
- Remove the SIM card cover plate.
- Next, push the currently installed SIM card inward (located in the middle of the housing, see to the right). You will hear a soft clicking sound. Release the SIM and it will eject outward enough for you to remove it.
- Take your newly acquired SIM card and insert it into the empty SIM card holder, with the metal electronic chip facing downward. You should hear another clicking sound once the card inserts into the correct position. If you do not hear a clicking sound, make sure that the SIM card is inserted correctly. If it is inserted backwards it will not insert completely and you will not hear a clicking sound.
- Replace the SIM card cover plate and 2 screws.
