Right, I meant that Verizon includes mobile hotspot on all current plans. When I signed up with Verizon ~3 years ago, mobile hotspot was included in my plan at no additional charge. I obviously cannot speak to older plans that Verizon is still permitting people to use. But all CURRENT plans include mobile hotspot.
actually this is not totally true.....I just got my iphone6 and switched from att to VZ the plan they set me up with included 2GB of data but would not allow hotspot or tethering....after 3 hours on the phone and web chat I managed to get them to move me to a more everything plan with only 250MB of data then took them up on the extra Gig of data promotion....this left me with less data but I can hotspot in an emergency....and it cost a little less than the att plan...this whole no data while on a call thing may make me move back....sure VoLTE is nice but in practice I am not so sure LTE coverages is marginal...even my old 4a on att could voice and data enough to get by all the time.
