Does it cost to use someone's personal hotspot?

I have 500mb of data on my orange iPhone 3GS my dad has an iPhone 4 and he has unlimited data if my dad turns on his personal hotspot for me to use when we're out so I don't use my data does it cost Any of us?

Nope its completely free, as long as your dad has unlimited.

When your iPhone is connected to your dad's hotspot, your dad is the one who pays for the Internet, basically because connecting to his hotspot disables your Internet connection and uses his instead.

  • 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 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?
  • If someone uses your personal hotspot of iphone 5 what can they see? I was using my personal hotspot via USB and then I realised it had 2 connections. I immediately turned it off. However now I'm afraid because after this I got a call off a blocked number. If someone hacked into my Wi-Fi from my phone would they be able to see contents such as pictures on my phone? I'm very scaredz thank you
