In that case, Joe, use your tethering judiciously but you should be OK if you use it for short periods (mostly), with low-usage applications (mostly). Dunno how things work in the US, but I find that public wifi hotspots are generally pretty useless. Another thing: wifi hotspots are not secure. Internet banking, etc., not recommended. I'd far sooner use my data allowance to connect to 4G (far more secure) and tether to that if I want something a bit bigger to look at and manipulate than my phone screen, with the caveats I mentioned in my last post.
