I have an iPad that I would like to use on vacation to mainly surf the web. I don't stream any music or videos. I also have an iPhone 6 with Verizon. In the past I have set up a new phone number for my iPad and paid $50/month for usage of I think it was 5G. It worked fine for me. When I wasn't on vacation and wanted to suspend it I had to call every 3 months? and keep suspending it. The last time I called in I disconnected it completely because I was told I could just use my iPhone as a hotspot and they would set it up for me.
I tried to set up the hotspot yesterday and was told it wasn't on my plan even though the last conversation i had it was suppose to be set up for me. Now they are telling me the hotspot is not set up on my plan and it will cost $10/month and they have to clear it through my city service account. I have unlimited data on my phone.
So my question is - should I purchase the monthly plan at $50/month for 5G or use the hotspot at $10 month unlimited?
Do you get the exact strength if you use a hotspot? Does it work the same?
Thanks
