What Even Is a Hotspot? 📱

Think of a hotspot as your phone becoming a mini wifi router (fancy, right?). It's like having your own personal internet café in your pocket, sharing those precious data vibes with your other devices. Perfect for when you're living that digital nomad life or just need to scroll TikTok on your iPad!

The Tea About Costs 💅

Okay, here's the real talk you came for - does this magic internet-sharing situation cost money?


Short answer: Well, yes and no (we know, we know, but hear us out!)

The good news? Setting up a hotspot is usually free (but maybe double-check with your provider, just in case they're being extra). The plot twist? Using your hotspot means your devices are having an all-you-can-eat data buffet. Here's what's eating your data:

  • Netflix and chill: 900 MB/hour (oop-)
  • Video call with the bestie: 480 MB/hour
  • Downloading your work files: varies but can be thicc

Want to be smart about your data usage? We've got guides for that too:

Pro tip: If you're on that "unlimited" data life, read the fine print! Some providers get shady with hotspot limits. 👀
