Can Alexa Work With Mobile Data? – Alexa doesn’t care how it’s connected to the internet. All that matters is it has an internet connection. The connection has to be via Wi-Fi because Echo devices don’t have Ethernet ports, but Alexa works just as well on mobile data as it does on your home internet connection.

Whenever you’re out of range of a Wi-Fi network and start using your mobile data, the Alexa app will run just fine on your mobile connection.

Before you try using your Echo device with mobile data, check with your service provider to make sure tethering is allowed. If you use your phone as a mobile hotspot for your Echo, the Echo will use your mobile data.
