FAQs

Does T-Mobile give you an unlimited hotspot? ›

You can't get truly unlimited data from a T-Mobile hotspot. Hotspots and hotspot plans rarely come with unlimited data. T-Mobile technically offers unlimited data on its hotspot plans, but the reality is that all your high speed 5G and 4G LTE data is capped at a certain amount.

How many hours will 100GB of data last for? A 100 Gb of data plan will allow you to browse the internet for around 1200 hours, Stream 20,000 songs, or watch 200 hours of standard-definition videos.

Hotspotting from your device might affect connected devices' speeds, especially if multiple devices are simultaneously using the shared connection. However, with unlimited data plans, the data allowance is usually not affected, but speeds might be subject to network congestion or carrier limitations.

While hotspots can serve as a viable alternative to home internet in some cases, replacing your router with a hotspot will likely compromise the speed and reliability of your connection. This is because hotspot plans rely on cellular data, while home internet relies on Wi-Fi data.

Where can you find free public Wi-Fi hotspots? The best place to find reliable Wi-Fi is a coffee shop, restaurant, or public library. In these places, the Wi-Fi is usually more reliable and there are places to sit so you can study or work. It's actually becoming rare to find a restaurant that doesn't offer free Wi-Fi.

The bottom line is that 50GB of data would be sufficient to browse the internet for approximately 600 hours, stream 10,000 songs online or watch 100 hours of standard-definition videos.

Once the high-speed data bucket is reached, unlimited data continues at reduced speeds. To continue service with high-speed data, another pass must be purchased. On-Demand passes can be purchased with refill cards or prepaid service account balances.

If you prioritize wider coverage and value-added plans, T-Mobile is likely your best bet. However, if you're looking for blazing-fast speeds and are willing to pay a premium for additional services, Verizon could be more up your alley. Your choice will ultimately depend on your specific needs and location.

If you use your high-speed Mobile Hotspot allotment (such as 15GB), your Mobile Hotspot speed will be reduced until the end of your billing cycle.
