Using the Personal Hotspot on my iPhone?
The Wi-Fi on my Laptop doesn't work, so I can't connect to the internet. I'm using the Personal Hotspot on my iPhone to connect to the internet. My iPhone is connected to my homes Wi-Fi. I'm curious, when my Laptop is connected to the Personal Hotspot, is it accessing my iPhones internet, or is it running off my home internet?
When you are using your home's Wi-Fi and creating personal hotspot the home's Wi-Fi disconnects and your cellular Internet acts as a Wi-Fi hotspot. To say it more clearly you are using your mobile data in your laptop.

- 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.
- Using Personal Hotspot with my DELL Laptop? Ok, so this idea just hit me. If I turn on the "Personal Hotspot" on my iPhone 5c (with 3G service on), and connect it to my computer via USB, will it make my laptop internet faster as well? The 3G service is So much more faster on my iPhone 5c than on my DELL Laptop! So will this help my laptop if I select my iPhone on the internet connection?
- Using my iPhone as a personal hotspot? Is it safe to use my iPhone as my personal hotspot? When I eventually sell my iPhone, will it be possible for that person to somehow view / revisit all the sites I visited while using my iPhone as my personal hotspot? (Example: online banking, online shopping, paying my bills online.)
