Hi Naio,
Thanks for the information.
So the hotspot on the cell phone is always 3G speed?
For an extra $10/month you get 10GB of 4G hotspot or for $25/month you get unlimited 4G hotspot service. You can be subject to Network Optimization if you exceed 50GB/month but it does not say you will be throttled or reduced to 3G for the remainder of the month.
This is a plan for those of us 55 or older and we have had the service for about 6 months now and we are very happy. I must say that we also have an AT&T hotspot which we use for our computers but we have kept and eye on the T-Mobile data service on the phones and we have only had a few places with poor service. We have had no problems with phone calls at any locations.
As an aside, the Verizon 55+ plan use the Go Unlimited Verizon data plan which does give unlimited hotspot data but it is at 600K. Here are the details from their website.
With Go Unlimited you get:
Unlimited 4G LTE data
Unlimited Talk & Text
Talk, text and data in Mexico and Canada included
DVD-quality streaming (480p)
Unlimited Mobile Hotspot (600 Kbps)
Verizon Up rewards
