Frequently asked questions

Is hotspot data separate from my phone data?
Usually yes. A plan can offer unlimited phone data but only 10 or 15 GB of hotspot. Once the hotspot allowance is used, tethering stops or slows while phone data continues.
Do all carriers allow hotspot on prepaid plans?
No. Some cheaper plans disable tethering entirely. Every plan listed here records a hotspot allowance, so plans without it are excluded.
