With FoxFi you are only limited by how much data you have on your Verizon plan and don't have to pay the monthly Verizon hotspot fee for using Verizon's hotspot app.* Depending on how much data you will be using, it is well worth the one time $8 fee for the unlocked version to remove the cap and not having the disconnect hassle. The free version has a cap that will disconnect all wireless devices from the hotspot so you have to reconnect your stuff every time you hit the limit (i think the free version cap was about 200 MB but I forget). If you are talking about using the phone as a wireless hotspot for your your iPad I would use an app called FoxFi and not the Verizon hot spot service that they charge you monthly for.*Īs a side note, FoxFi has a one time $8 cost (at the time i bought it 2 years ago) for the full/unlocked version.
