Hello Keith, There is really nothing for me to share as each wireless provider offers its own menu of service options based on how fast, how much data, and how many lines one wishes to select.
I know some people who are paying as little as $60 per month for unlimited talk. Text, and data, including mobile tethering with only one line in service. Do some shopping around and ask others in your very local area which wireless provider they prefer. For example, Verizon Wireless may work better in one area while A T & T may work better in another. I have a friend who was a long time A T & T Wireless subscriber; then, she moved to a new apartment and simply could not get the signal inside her home. So, she switched to Verizon Wireless because, even inside her apartment, she gets 4 out of 4 bars of service strength. There is a lot of competition, out there, so do some shopping around.

Can you share about how much of a premium you need to pay for the upgrade to a mobile data plan?

Taylor Sent: Friday, October 12, 2018 8:45 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [EXTERNAL] Mark on Apple's Instant Hotspot Feature Hello Everyone, Well, I finally upgraded my mobile data plan to include high speed mobile sharing data. The first thing I did was to test out Apple's instant hotspot feature by sharing my cellular data connection between my beloved iPhone 8 Plus and my MacBook Pro; and I must say that it is most impressive. In fact, it's so impressive that it almost feels like magic as everything just works. What is instant Hotspot? Instant Hotspot is part of Continuity, and lets you share the data connection from your iPhone or cellular iPad with your Mac or other device. It's different from Personal Hotspot, which requires a password and connects like a standard Wi-Fi router, in that it uses your Apple ID for authentication, Bluetooth Low Energy (BT LE) for rapid connection, and Wi-Fi for data transfer. So it's much faster and more convenient, but it's really only meant for your Apple devices. I didn't have to enter any passwords and the connection was faster than any hardwired USB tethering I've ever used. If you have not yet done so, give it a try. Say what you will about Apple but note this in your book, when they do decide to do something unique, it's really, really unique. For more information in setting up and using Instant Hotspot, go to: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204681.
