Why? Are you being charged to use your Verizon phone as a Hot Spot? I have used Verizon starting in the days when they were still GTE then GTE Mobile with my Nokia brick. I regularly use my iPhone as a Hot Spot to provide an LTE 4G pipeline for my iPad, all without issue and without additional charge from Verizon. > The fact they want to charge me for using a device through my phone > simply proves their greed.
