    Another reason to use personal hotspot is because both of our local "home internet" companies (Comcast/CenturyLink) are too greedy. And without home internet, I can't get wifi. Therefore my iPhone is connected via USB hardwire to my iMac via a cellular only internet connection. I could do Bluetooth hotspot, but I don't want the radiation and I do want the hardwire reliability. Personal "Hotschpotten" at home certainly is not the fastest connection by far as I get a LOT of "buffering" with it that I did not get with my old Comcast ethernet connection. But I'd rather put up with that, rather than give up my fixed "even steven" $55/month T-mobile One "Unlimited" talk/text/data. To me, this beats Comcast and CenturyLink with their multiple additional "odd pennies" hidden fees, which allows them to slowly creep up the final bill. I got rid of my CenturyLink landline in 2016 in part because of that "upcreep syndrome". And Comcast is NOTORIOUS for intentionally overbilling!

    QUESTION.. I know that mobile hotspots have to have a data plan on their phones. And then this data is converted as wifi for other devices.. WHAT IF I was connected to a WiFi router (I have my mobile data turned OFF and my WiFi turned ON), will my device (mobile hotspot) share the wifi instead of my mobile data instead? Or will other devices still keep feeding off of my mobile data?

    Forgive me, but I don't get it. When my smart phone wasn't activated, I used wi-fi at coffee shops, etc., and it's obvious why a mobile hotspot would be better --- but with an activated smart phone, then why? It's already connected to the internet. What am I missing?
