What is a Mobile Hotspot feature or app? A Mobile Hotspot lets you share your Verizon network connection with other devices so they can access the internet. Devices connect to your Mobile Hotspot using Wi-Fi. While devices are connected, you're charged for any data they use according to your monthly data plan.
How do I activate my Verizon mobile hotspot?
- Open the Settings app.
- Hit the Network & internet option.
- Then go to Hotspot & tethering.
- Select Wi-Fi hotspot.
- Tap the slider to Bluetooth tethering.
- Customize your hotspot with name, password, etc.
Most hotspot plans charge a flat monthly fee and don't require a contract. In most cases, the only upfront cost is buying a hotspot modem. A hotspot typically costs less than $100. Some hotspot plans require you to use your cell phone.

The answer was "no separate charge. You're using your unlimited data".
Do you need a plan for a hotspot?
A mobile hotspot allows you to connect other devices to your cell phone data. Dedicated hotspot allowances are separate from your plan's regular cell phone data allowance, while hotspot-capable plans mean that you use your primary data to connect to other devices.Jan 2, 2020

What is the average cost of a hotspot?
If you don't have a hotspot-enabled smartphone, you can buy a hotspot-only device. In this case, the cost of a mobile hotspot varies pretty widely, with common prices between $150 and $200.
Can I buy a hotspot only?
You can get a standalone mobile hotspot with its own separate data plan. However, because prices are pretty expensive for very low data limits, this really isn't a great option for replacing your home internet.
Is a hotspot a one time payment?
Traditionally, a mobile hotspot requires a two-year contract and a monthly data plan -- which makes sense only for those who travel several times a month. You're not locked into a two-year commitment with a service plan that you pay for every month whether you need it or not.
