Consensus on Mobile Hotspot lifestyle?
I've been rolling this idea over for a few months and have been trying to find as much information as possible about this new movement to "wirecutting". Currently, I have a desktop PC, iphone 5, and will probably get an ipad or laptop in the coming months to essentially phase out the PC and move to a more flexible set up that I can take on the road but also have a viable source for Wi-Fi at home for recreational use. Currently paying for cable and internet (honestly I don't even watch that much TV) but I use the internet for all sorts of media with the exception of things like netflix or hulu. Youtube is really the only video streaming and I like to play games online. So here's my question:
Is there a financially practical and reliable way to have mobile Wi-Fi that can be used for the phone, the laptop, and the tablet for at home and on-the-go usage?
If you have an Android phone… Get Foxfi… Enough said… Lmao
but alas… You have an iphone… Oh well…
next question!
- Will mobile hotspot cost me? Well I had an iphone and I used my mobile hotspot thing on it to get Wi-Fi on my laptop and it worked and it didn't cost me, but now I have a blackberry bold 9900 and I still have the same sim as I had in my iphone and the blackberry has mobile hotspot on it but when I go to put it on it goes warming this may charge. Will it cost me.
- Will I be able to use my mobile as a personal hotspot? I'm with optus and have unlimited internet… Just wondering if personal hotspot will work on my iphone? Its not coming up on my phone it's just saying carrier, bluetooth etcetera. Please only people from australia. ps I only just set up my prepaid plan but its working fine on my phone?
- What does having mobile hotspot on a shared data plan mean? I really want to get either the Samsung Galaxy S III or iPhone 5 on either AT&T or Verizon. I noticed that when you get a Mobile Share/Share Everything plan, the hotspot feature is free. Does using it still come out of your data amount, or is it unlimited?
- Tmobile mobile hotspot iPhone? I got the 30$ a month plan unlimited text and web on tmobile monthly 4g I'm using it on the iPhone I saw the mobile hotspot option and I used it and it worked fine will I get in trouble if I use it or will they charge me extra? Can they because monthly 4g is no contract
