my local phone turned into a hotspot. Everything (tablet, ipod, laptop) connects. If you need or use a lot of gig (I do for school and work) then over time it can get expensive. I connect at the beach to local wifi to save (and have a nice view while studying and working). I have used my 3 gigs in 2 weeks and it is the 30 day plan. But, just purchase another one and get more gigs.
