Yota is the official client of the mobile operator of the same name. With this software it is extremely easy to set up a tariff plan and always keep your balance under control. Installing the program on a PC will make working with it as comfortable as possible. In addition to the ubiquitous advertising made in a minimalist style, the Yota company produces software for setting up and managing tariffs. The Yota client for Android and iOS is a mandatory part of the communication of the virtual cellular operator Yota. Without this software, you won’t even be able to activate the SIM card.
You can install the application on both portable devices and desktop ones. Working with a client on a big screen is very convenient.
Yota installation process on PC?
To install the application on Windows OS, you will need an simulator of the interface and functionality of Android OS - Bluestacks or Nox App Player.
- Download and install the emulator.
- Log in to the integrated Google Play store using your Google account details.
- Enter the name of the required application in the search engine.
- Download the application.
- Connect a gadget on which the Yota SIM card is activated.
A few simple steps and the application is installed on your portable and desktop device. You shouldn’t expect anything supernatural from the application, everything is as standard and banal as possible.
Possible problems
We have already said that a driver for the Yota 4G LTE modem is not required - it will work in all modern versions of the Windows operating system, MacOS versions 10.5 and higher, as well as in all versions of Linux with CDC/RNDIS support. This is official information from the operator's website. If you have a modern computer with the latest version of any of the above operating systems, then there will be no problems with installation and connection.
Whether to install Yota Access or not is up to you. This utility does not add functionality, but makes management more convenient (via an icon in the system tray, without any web interfaces). It is available for Windows 10, Windows 7 and other versions.
Installing the Yota modem on Windows XP can be a problem - users complain that the driver does not install. This is really problematic. The “sore” can be treated by updating the operating system to Windows XP SP3, which already contains built-in RNDIS drivers. You can also try using the ActiveSync program. If a similar problem occurs on newer versions of Windows, install the Windows Mobile Device Center program - it works with modems from Yota and other telecom operators.

How to install
Before you start downloading directly, you need to make sure whether you can do this yourself, as sometimes there are some restrictions. Their availability depends on the operating system. Mac OS cannot do this . Many will wonder how to bypass the limitation. The solution is that you can bypass the restrictions by using a router with firmware 0301, 0412, 0425, 0811. It happens that, despite compatibility and the absence of restrictions, the software cannot be installed. To solve the problem, you need to correct the security settings so that unknown drivers can be installed.
