Earlier today, Verizon’s Chief Operating Officer, Lowell McAdam revealed that it will be offering the unlimited data plans on top of customers calling plans to iPhone customers.

Macworld has just reported that they have also received pricing details for the mobile hotspot feature, which is seen as one of the major selling points of the Verizon iPhone from Verizon’s Executive Director of Corporate Communications, Brenda Raney.

Macworld reports:

Raney said that Verizon iPhone owners will be able to take advantage of the 3G wireless hotspot feature for an extra $20 per month on top of the iPhone’s required voice and data plans--that’s the same price that applies to current Verizon smartphone owners[..]
The hotspot feature comes with its own 2GB monthly data pool, separate from your iPhone’s data plan[..]
The mobile hotspot feature allows users to share iPhone’s data connection over Wi-fi to up to 5 mobile devices.

Since the hotspot feature will have its own 2GB monthly plan, users will not be able to take the advantage of the unlimited data plans that Verizon plans to offer its iPhone customers.

So the mobile hotspot plan seems to be slightly better than the iPhone tethering plan that is available to AT&T’s iPhone customers. AT&T offers iPhone tethering for $20 per month and users have to share the 2GB between your iPhone and their laptop.

iOS 4.3 is expected to bring the mobile hotspot feature to GSM iPhones.

Are you planning to buy Verizon iPhone? Will you opt for the mobile hotspot feature for $20? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.

thats a bit of a rip off really isnt it. Hope O2 dont do this

The question is: can the phone use its own wi-fi for Facetime?

January 26, 2011 at 12:13 AM Reply Aaron said...

unfortunately no, the one wifi chip is being used to make the mobile hotspot. If Verizon really wanted ATT customers to switch, they would let you facetime over 3G, now theres a selling point.

January 26, 2011 at 12:31 AM Reply John said...

Verizon hasn’t announced whether or not they’ll allow facetime over 3g. The iphone’s capable of it, but it’s been a restriction from at&t.

If verizon follows suit, then no you won’t. But your friend could facetime using your hotspot.

jailbreak + free tethering FTW

hear hear! You people are hopeless. Waiting to sign a contract with V for 2 years to get LAST years phone that doesn’t even have all the features as the current model i.e. Surf n talk. Then having to pay xtra for things that we already have ala jailbreak. Wifi/Bluetooth/Tethered sharing n FaceTime over 3g. A few months from now they’ll have an even BETTER iphone with all kinds of stuff. Y Not Wait!?

ill continue to use mywi,and keep my unlimited at&t data

January 26, 2011 at 12:32 AM Reply Robman said...

That’s stupid, but oh well for that the hotspot feature of the iPhone just became a miminal selling point. My wife has the crappy palm pre, but it has unlimited data and the hotspot feature is free, I’m never going to end that contract, ha ha Verizon I’m going to suck you dry on that one…

I dispize verizon especially where i live northern indiana att is way better

January 26, 2011 at 12:45 AM Reply S said...

Would FaceTime work on Verizons 3G CDMA technology due to it using voice and media at the same time? I didn’t think Verizon customers could talk on the phone while using media. That would leave me to believe they wouldn’t be able to FaceTime on 3G.

January 26, 2011 at 12:59 AM Reply Mitch said...

there will be a jailbreak to unlock this feature for free.. like tether me does for at&t

January 26, 2011 at 2:07 AM Reply SteveG said...

that’s a great news, $20 more and you get an unlimited data plan. Verizon will win over it’s competition in no time.

why pay 20$/month when u can tether u r unlimted data using mywi
i have been using it to tether my wifi ipad for months now and no problem and the speed is good.

January 26, 2011 at 3:50 AM Reply Hoser said...

The speed is great! My boss had a Verizon card for his laptop, I tether my laptop using mywi. We did side by side speed tests throughout the day in LA & Orange Counties and my connection was always faster. Mines a lot cheaper than the $60 Verizon card too, free (after purchase of mywi).

Is there a difference between Tethering and Hot Spot?? Isnt the same shit?

January 26, 2011 at 5:05 AM Reply K said...

my JB’d 3GS supports tethering without the need of MyWi app…
