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.
Well i'll tell you that here in the states unlimited data doesn't always mean for a hotspot or then may charge you for usage (an entirely dif. Matter). For instance Verizon you have to start out paying separately for data starting at like 2gb (a movie) for like 20-30 dollars, in addition to your calling/texting if you want any int. At all. Others: Sprint says unlimited data on phone but pay 20 dollars extra for hotspot (if you want) which is then capped at 5gb which I prodded to see if they cut off and they went all ghetto on my ***~so I let them turn their game face on-whatever, their whack. So now I assume that this means you are limited. Last but not least my last actual experience is with T-Mobile which I like but the phone is kind of you know… So i'm looking, but yeah… They start with 2gb of just plain data at 4g speed (fast) for the entire phone (including hotspot) for about 50 dollars then for another twenty you get double that at 4g but they actually let you use your phone after that for internet surfing (2g speed) so that kind of works. Don't know if I helped! Alright late
- 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?
- 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 I use personal hotspot on iPhone, will it use my Wi-Fi or data plan? There are 2 computers in my house. One of them won't connect to the router. So I figure while my iPhone has Wi-Fi access, I can turn on personal hotspot and make the computer connect to the iPhones personal hotspot
