My samsug galaxy tab...does it cost extra to use it as a wifi hot spot?

Does it cost extra to use my tab as a wifi hot spot?

No. Because your tablet data plan is capped, Verizon lets you use the tethering and hotspot at no extra charge. Just keep in mind that it DOES use data from your plan so if you got a 1 gig $20 plan hotspot will burn that up in a hurry.
Frankly, I wish Verizon would do this on smartphones too. I would GLADLY give up unlimited data in exchange for tethering / hotspot included with the plan. Upselling tethering is so 1980's. The rest of the world includes teethering as part of the data plan service, though their data plans are usually capped at 3Gig or 5Gig.
Believe me, I am not going to STOP throwing this fact in US carriers' faces until they see the light and stop upselling this inherent functionality. It was always intended by OEM's to be a standard open functionality of a smartpone, not a FEATURE to be up-sold and monetized.
Verizon is offering free tethering on 4G LTE devices? GREAT. Keep it that way!!!

    Does it cost extra to use my Tab as a wifi hot spot?

    Hello Jessicaann9607,
    Tablets don't need to subscribe to the 3G mobile hotspot feature. All usage is deducted from the mobile broadband plan.
    Hope this helps...

  • Does it cost extra to use the wireless on the iPod touch?

    I'm trying to decide between an 8 gig Touch and an 8 gig nano. I prefer the Touch, but if it costs extra to use the wireless internet I'll get the nano. Does it? Which would you suggest and why? Which is cheaper overall to use? Are there any hidden fees?

    I'll try to answer that from my standpoint:
    I have ATT as my provider. I have a wireless modem at home. I use my touch with it. Whenever I am at my sister's or my brother's I use their wifi. Until a week ago, I never used it wireless anywhere else. Last week, while at B&N Bookstore, I checked to see if I could use it there. Since I wasn't home, Safari came up asking me to choose a network. One was ATT wifi, one was B&N's pay-to-use, and a third I don't remember who's. I clicked on ATT; it asked me for my ATT screen name and password, I entered them and I was In. Unless ATT's going to bill me later, I paid nothing then. I do not if this helps.

  • Does it cost extra to use wifi outside the states?

    I am in germany and I'm using my families wlan to connect to the internet with my cell phone (send emails, check facebook etc). Now i was wondering if that is going to cost me any extra. My Plan is NATIONWIDE TALK & TEXT FS 700
    Since it's wifi I figured I would not be charged for it.

    If you are using your family's WLAN, then you will not be charged for it. Just make sure that it is the WLAN and not wireless cellular data that you are using.

  • What is the cloud do for us and does it cost extra?

    what is the cloud and what does it do for us? also does it cost extra?

    The cloud is a semi-generic term for online storage solutions.  This can range from something like dropbox that gives file storage to Google's cloud, which is used to sync various data points such as contacts, calendar, even music.  Most have a limit on their free amounts, with payment required for a larger limit.  In general, if you sign into your gmail account on your Android phone (required to use many of the free services, or to access the Play Store), there is no extra charge.

    Can I pre-order Iphone 5 from apple website and does it cost extra to pre-order?

    your bound to get a long line up where ever you are near an official apple store, but if youtr planning on getting by one of your carreirs it depends where you live as i was able to get iphone on the day it was released at my carriers store, though im exploring other options atm, whether it worth buying it out on apple store, work out my average data usage and just buy data packs for like $5 - $20, but no idea what atm.

  • What is data roaming? Does it cost extra? Why doesn't my iPhone automati...

    What is data roaming? Does it cost extra?
    Why doesn't my iPhone automatically connect to AT&T service? Sometimes I have to go directly to Carriers in the Settings to connect to AT&T 3G. Thank you in advance.

    There is no local data roaming or call roaming in the U.S. as a subscriber with AT&T. Wherever AT&T has coverage in the U.S. is included.
    AT&T does not own all the towers in the areas where they have coverage in the U.S. AT&T calls this "off net usage"
    The following was copied from AT&T's wireless service agreement.
    +If your minutes of use (including unlimited services) on other carrier networks ("off-net usage") during any two consecutive months exceed your off-net usage allowance, AT&T may, at its option terminate your service, deny your continued use of other carriers' coverage or change your plan to one imposing usage charges for off-net usage. Your off-net usage allowance is equal to the lesser of 750 minutes or 40% of the Anytime Minutes included with your plan. AT&T will provide notice that it intends to take any of the above actions, and you may terminate the agreement.+
