Using my iphone 5 as a tethering to my laptop Verizon?
I have an iphone 5 and an unlimited data plan from Verizon. I want to be able to use my iphone to get internet to my laptop when Wi-Fi is unavailable. Now from my understanding, setting up my phone for a mobile hotspot is an additional $20/month. But using the iphone connected to the laptop via a usb port or bluetooth, should allow the use of the iphone as a modem or "tethering" and is no additional charge.
When I go into the settings in my iphone, I see an option for mobile hotspot, which requires me to call Verizon to setup, but no tethering option. How do I go about setting up the tethering? Is there an app I have to download or something?

- Tethering iPhone to computer on Wi-Fi - does this use data? So the internet in my room is terrible, but for some reason my iPhone connects just fine. When I tether my iPhone (connected to Wi-Fi) to my macbook, the internet works. Because I'm using Wi-Fi on my iPhone while tethering, is this using data?
- Is there a certain kind of Laptop required when tethering Wi-Fi to it by iPhone? I have an iPhone 6s (if that matters) and I'm looking for a laptop for work. I work from home, with Wi-Fi, but landed a 2nd job babysitting full time. They do not have Wi-Fi in their home. I heard I can tether internet to a laptop from my phone while I'm there- but I'm unsure if that applies to all laptops, certain kinds, or ones with certain features.
