Verizon Wireless spokesperson Brenda Raney confirmed that the personal hotspot add-on for the iPhone will cost $20 per month and will provide 2 GB of data. The personal hotspot feature will let you share your cellular data connection with up to five devices via WiFi. This 2 GB of data is separate from the $30 unlimited data plan and is allocated only for mobile hotspot usage. You should watch your usage closely as overages will be charged at a costly $20 per GB.
Rather than undercut its popular DROID lineup with free mobile hotspot, the carrier decided to play it safe and offer iPhone owners the same rate as Android owners. Select Android handsets on Verizon include 3G mobile hotspot and this service is billed at $20 for 2 GB of usag
