Hotspot

I have iPhone 5. when I use it as hotspot will the iPhone and the iPad both use data at the same time. I guess what I am trying to find out is will the data plan be charged 2x the data or will it just be as one device.

MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2), 8 gigs ram, 750 meg Harddrive

Anything connected to the phone's hotspot uses the data allotment, but not double the charge.


iPad- 20mb

Computer - 50mb

Android- 15mb


Total data used out of the providers tethering allotment 75mb.


Your provider doesn't care what or how things use the data, just as long as you pay for the (probably expensive) tethering option.


Also, about your specs, a 750MB hard drive was expensive back when Windows 95 was brand new.
