To download new Tonies or new content for a Creative-Tonie when on the move, you can simply connect the Toniebox to a mobile hotspot. You can provide this via your smartphone or similar device, and only turn it on when required.

Caution: In order to set up a Wi-Fi connection via a mobile hotspot, you need two devices: one to provide the hotspot and another to access the installation assistant on my.tonies.com/wifi. You cannot provide the hotspot and access the Toniebox Wi-Fi on the same device at the same time.

Please note that mobile data is used when downloading data from the Toniecloud. This may lead to additional charges depending on your mobile phone contract. Not to worry: Only manageable amounts of data are required to download new software or new stories. Our user software is just a few kilobytes. The amount of data required for audio content varies from 15 MB for around 20 minutes to about 80 MB for around 120 minutes.
