Verizon does not differentiate between phone data use and hotspot data use.
Unless I'm reading the plans wrong, they do. You can get 'unlimited' data but no hotspot. If you want hotspot they will allot you so many gigs, then throttle you.
This is true. After the hotspot allotment, it does throttle but as long as you are using standard def, it still works OK.
Sorry... I misworded that statement.
Verizon treats all PHONE data the same. If you are using the built-in hotspot on your phone, it's just part of your data plan. You will get throttled for any data use over 22 GB IF usage is very heavy in your area. I've only had that happen once, near a college campus.
If you have a separate hotspot device, that has its own data.
