My friends phone currently has no service but he wants me to turn on my hotspot so he can use it for his phone. Is this in my best interest or not.I am unfamiliar with how this works since I am technology ignorant.He claims this will not use up my data for my phone. I have no idea how the hotspot thing works at all. Help

If you let him use your hotspot, he will use your data. That is what a hotspot is. A hotspot allows other devices to use data, just like a wireless router.

@linda32501 No, they won't be able to view any information on your phone. Hotspot only allows them to use your data.

Possibly.
As a rule, your phone is private. It and it’s service and content should not be shared.
