Can I use the Iphone 6 as a Mobile Hot Spot?

Coming over from Android and just wondering if you can use the Iphone 6 as a Mobile Hot Spot?

yes, verizon offers that feature for free. T-mobile and AT-T you need to pay additionally.

Great. Thanks!

 

[SundayDuffer]

Works well on my plus with tmo.

It sucks up your data though, so be aware of that.

Not sure about the 6 but it used to suck the heck out of my 5S battery, too!

I stopped doing it when purchased the 128gb Air with AT&T cellular.

You don't pay more if you are on an AT&T share plan right?

Correct. Only the old plans without data sharing require an additional fee.

Right. It's included in the mobile share plan.

Have ATT and one change I noticed with using it as a hotspot is that my kids iPods can join it now. Not sure when that changed, is that a 8.0 thing?

 

[Iamgort]

Right. It's included in the mobile share plan.

Phew. I have been using my phone as a hotspot nonstop since I got the free doubling of our data.

As long as your carrier allows you too. I was using my iPhone 5c this morning as a hotspot because the hotel I'm at, lost its wifi for some reason.

The hotspot is a big reason I left AT&T "unlimited" for the new plans. Now with the double data it's even a more valuable perk.

Not 100% correct ! unlimited users have to pay $30 a month for it

Is it included in the Verizon single plan? Unlimited talk/text, 2GB of data.

no

Not correct. T-Mobile includes mobile hotspot/tethering with all their current postpaid plans. And even though T-Mobile made no announcement, they activated tethering at no additional cost for prepaid plans a few months ago as well.

The "single line plan"?

No.

It's an iOS 4 or 5 thing. Can't remember which one exactly. However, it's only allowed on plans with personal hotspot support (e.g. More Everything, Mobile Share, $30 add-on for UDP, tiered data 4+GB, etc).

Try to tether with Bluetooth and not wifi. Much better on the battery.

I have the $30 pre-paid plan w/ T-Mobile. The hotspot feature is included in it

Too late as my iPad is now cellular! I would not have it any other way now.

Yes but if your not streaming Netflix or porn you'll be ok with normal web surfing
