Does the personal hotspot on iPhone 5 cost money? - 1

I've heard it just takes data from your phone that you have, so every new month I get 6GB back from what I used. So, does it take away the 6GB or like cost a bit extra on the bill?

I'm with Bell.

That depends on your plan.

Some carriers charge you for turning it on, plus whatever you use.
Some might charge you a one time fee and deduct whatever you use from your monthly allotment.

Some might not support tethering.

These questions are best asked to your carrier as they will be able to give you a more reliable answer.

No, it does not cost money. If you have 3 or 4 or whatever G then your iPhone turns that into a wireless signal and so your iPhone can become a modem.

  • Will it cost me if I use 'personal hotspot' from my iphone to my laptop? I have an iphone, and my Wi-Fi just went down so I was wondering if it would cost to use that 'personal hotspot' thing onto my laptop because I want to watch netflix, and in not doing it on my phone (screens small) Oh and I have unlimited data (3G) and my providers I think are EE.
  • What does Personal Hotspot: 1 Connection mean on Iphone? I connected my Iphone to my laptop for the very first time ( my OS is Linux Ubuntu) and the message "Personal Hotspot:1 Connection" popped up on the top of my Iphone. What does that mean? Thanknyou!
  • What additional cost may occur from making my iphone a personal hotspot? I turned on the personal hotspot option in settings on my iphone but it says additional costs may occur. Does that mean it costs money for me to connect my other devices or just if i exceed the amount of 3g i'm paying for.
  • Personal hotspot cost money? Or included with iphone 5c? I just got the iphone 5c today and it lets me give out Wi-Fi. My question is am I paying extra for this or is it taking away from my 4GB of data that I have monthly? I have att and live in Ca. I was planning on using the personal hotspot for my laptop to do homework. If it does use my monthly datat how much do you think my laptop would use for an hour of browsing watching videos?
