I have unlimited cellular data on my phone but not if I use it as a hotspot.

What is the difference between cellular data being used on my phone and cellular data being used on my notebook? Data is data.

I used to routinely use 100gb of data on my jailbroken sprint iPhone. Did that for almost 3 years. Never heard a peep from them. But this was forever ago.

If you used the package I think you did, that’s not unusual. Absolutely will not remember the name but there were numerous tweaks that just flipped the hotspot switch but a couple that allowed you to use a hotspot without directly using the inbuilt function. One was free and broadly used.

That was great, and you didn’t have to pay some extra tethering fee every month either (or something like that, it was so long ago for me).
