FAQ
Internet Service
I received a payment failure notification. How do I fix this before I lose service?
Resolving Failed Payment Errors:
If you received an email alerting you to a payment failure on your internet service, it is likely due to one of the following issues:
- Your account is short funds required for the service
- Your payment information needs to be updated (address, expiration date, etc.) You can take care of these issues by following the steps below.
To update payment information, head to the ConnectAll.org login page (top right corner with the person icon. Below the regular login, there should be a bolded question that says "Need help accessing your subscriptions?" click that. Then follow the prompts to head to your subscription portal. Click on the subscription you wish to update the payment for, and find the payment card section on the right side. You should be all set.
If you have any issues or problems, please reach out to support@interconnection.org so that we may assist you.
How long do I have to make a payment before I lose service?
We have a grace period of 21 days from the first missed payment before you lose service.
Our system will attempt charges every 3 days, 7 times, before your subscription will be paused, and then your device will be sent in for deactivation.
Once you contact us to make a payment, we can un-pause your subscription, and send your device back in for re-activation. It can take up to 2 to 7 business days to be reactivated, though often, the hotspot can be reactivated the next business day.
My hotspot won't turn on.
Try charging it first. Plug it in and let it charge for an hour. If it does not charge or still does not turn on, reach out to Mobile Citizen Technical Support at 877-216-9603.
My hotspot service is spotty or weak.
This problem should be addressed with Mobile Citizen Tech Support. Please have your hotspot IMEI# ready for the call. Mobile Citizen Tech Support can be reached at 877-216-9603.
Note: Make sure to get a case number when you speak to Mobile Citizen Tech Support. If your service does not improve within 5 days, send a message to the ConnectAll support desk with your case number and we will escalate the issue. Without a case number we cannot escalate, so please remember to get one.
How do I find the IMEI number of my device?
The device’s IMEI numbers can be found by removing the backplate of your Franklin T9 or T10 Device. The IMEI number will be printed on a white label underneath the battery.
Can I transfer my hotspot and service to another person?
Yes. The person you are transferring the hotspot to will need to create an account with us first.
Then you will need to provide the IMEI of the device to us via email at support@interconnection.org, along with the email address of the person who will be taking responsibility of the device and subscription.
We will then send them a secured payment link to start the subscription. Once the payment is made, they will let us know via the support@interconnection.org email address and we will stop your subscription for the device.
Any additional questions, please contact us at the support email address.
Can I bring my own device to ConnectAll's internet service?
We work with Mobile Citizen's internet program to provide the service to our customers. They also provide the devices that we are the reseller for.
Unfortunately we can only use and provide subscriptions for the devices that are part of the program, so everyone who participates needs to purchase the device from us in order for the service to work.

Computer Purchases
Can I have more information on your laptops and computers?
At this time, due to how we have changed managing our inventory, and how we receive the laptop and computer donations when we refurbish them, in order to keep our prices so low, we only build out to the specifications listed on each collections page.
Requests that we can potentially accommodate, if you list them in the "Order Special Requests" in your shopping cart, are form factor (small, medium, large), or screen size (between 12.5 inches and 14 inches), and brand (usually Dell or Lenovo, and rarely HP).
If you receive a computer or laptop that you are unhappy with, you have 10 days from delivery to request a prepaid return label and we will fully refund your purchase upon return. See "Can I return my computer for a refund?"
Can I make specific requests regarding my order?
Due to how we receive our donated laptops and computers, and how we are able to refurbish them and keep our prices low for our income eligible customers and other non-profit organizations we work with, there are very few accommodations we are able to make regarding the laptops and computers we have available in our inventory.
Please see "Can I have more information on your laptops and computers?" for more information.
What software is included with my computer?
We moved away from Microsoft Office due to the fact that it's moving to a subscription based model, so we no longer have access to the old permanent licenses any more.
Our laptops and computers on ConnectAll.org do come with Libre Office now, which you can read more about below:
https://www.libreoffice.org/
Can I return my computer for a refund?
For this you will need to contact our support team, who are best reached by support@interconnection.org. When reaching out please make sure to list any issues you had, the reason you want to return the machine, your order number, and the asset tag number of the computer if you already opened it.
If you are unhappy with your laptop or computer for any reason within 10 days of delivery, we will email you a pre-paid return label, and upon return, provide you a full refund.

Technical Issues
My computer won't turn on.
Please make sure you have charged any battery the device has and that the power cord is plugged in firmly into both the computer and a working electrical outlet. If you are still having issues after making this change, please reach out to us at support@interconnection.org.
My laptop battery isn't charging.
If it has been less than 90 days since you placed your original order, please reach out to our support team at support@interconnection.org. If it is more than 90 days, then your battery is no longer under warranty. The battery is guaranteed to hold at least a one hour charge for the first 90 days of life.
Can my computer be upgraded to Windows 11?
The hardware requirements for Windows 11 are a bit unusual compared to previous iterations. Microsoft has begun to require a TPM 2.0 chip however, which some boards have built-in.
Any Intel CPU that is 8th generation or newer should be able to run Windows 11 however as per the below information provided from Intel:
However, you should run the Windows PC Health Check to see if your machine can be upgraded.
All of our Student/Business Premium laptops come with Windows 11 installed.
