Mobile Hotspot

I'd like to use the Galaxy S III as a Mobile Hotspot for new Galaxy Tab3. But when I turn Mobile Hotspot on, it says a subscription is required. Looking at the VW features website, I don't see an option or cost for this? What do I need to do to enable Mobile Hotspot?

It is the data plan which is important: If you are on an unlimited data plan then VZW has a $30.00 fee for that service if you have a limited data plan say 2 or 4 gbs of data a month at $30.00 a month then that service should be free.  Check your plan.  I have the nationwide 1400 with unlimited data. I have to pay the $30.00 a month for the feature.

Which data plan do you have on that line?

I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.

That's the voice plan. I asked for the data plan.

That one doesn't include tethering. You should change it to the next tiered data plan with tethering.
