I often find myself in situations where I need to use my laptop (no 3G card) and love the ability to tether to my phone. These plan changes offer at least a little cost savings. I’d definitely be willing to switch.

In reply to kb. In case it matters, I'm on the unlimited plan, paying monthly for my phone, and subscribed to jump.

Just wanted to confirm that this is legit. I just called in to upgrade without having to reach my hotspot limit. Bumped up from 500mb to 2.5gb at no extra charge

I’ve noticed that too. if I use any cell phone, tmobile or sprint and use the hotspot, it doesn’t go down, but if I use a labtop then it will go down, I hope this stays how It does

In reply to xandermac. Likely because T-Mobile doesn't officially support the iPad, so the iPad isn't telling T-Mobile if data is coming from the iPad itself or a device connected to it's hotspot.

In reply to xandermac. Still showing 0/500mb used so I'm guessing tethering an iPad doesn't count against the 500mb hotspot data.

So I bit the bullet and switched to the new plan with unlimited 4g and 500 mb of hotspot data. Here’s the odd thing I’ve been using hotspot on my iPhone with my ipad today. 4 hours later and my account info still says 0 of 500mb used. Does anyone know how long it takes to register data usage for hotspot or if tethering tablets does not count toward the 500 MB?

How does this work for those who have “Unlimited” that has no cap?

In reply to guest. I called in, it's a no go for me, I have to upgrade to the new plan (which would be an extra $10 per month) in order to be able to use the included 500mb hotspot. Odd seeing as I have unlimited data already that I have to switch my voice plan also.
