Thunderbolt and mobile hotspot
So if you recently bought a thunderbolt, you get free unlimited mobile hotspot through may 15th when a firmware update will come out replacing the app with a paid version.
Cool thing about the paid version, it cost $30 for the mobile hotspot feature. It uses the data allowance for your phone. Unlimited data on your phone will give you unlimited data for the hotspot in theory.
On the other hand, we might see tiered data plans as soon as May 16th for smartphones, and this new mobile hotspot feature may require a data plan feature change. I do not have any info about that yet.
Go out and get yourself a thunderbolt and enjoy some 4g speed and unlimited data while you still can.

Because of the man-dated $30 per line per month a family could with little effort generate a Verizon phone bill large enough to equal a monthly car payment. For this reason MUCH as we would like to have these beautiful Smart Phones we must stand down and watch the rest of you play. Perhaps in a few years things might change, but for now we use the new Feature Phones. ☹️
