Data Usage on Mobile Hotspot

I recently just purchased a tablet, wi-fi only. When I use my phone as a hotspot am I using more data to do the same thing than if I just used my phone? IE: I wan't to watch a YouTube clip: will I use more data viewing it on the tablet using the hotspot than if I had just pulled it up on my phone?

Hi there @DawnLilly

 

If you are using the Mobile Hotspot feature on your device, you would be using from your monthly data allotment; no more no less than if you had used your actual phone.

 

Let us know if you’ve got any other questions or concerns.

 

Thanks,

Charise
