The combination of these two components specifies the position of any location on the surface of the Earth, without consideration of altitude or depth. The grid thus formed by latitude and longitude is known as the graticule.
Well, most mobile hotspot data plans (which typically start at $50 a month for 5 GB) call for a nominal $10 charge for every extra GB you use over your monthly limitânot cheap, mind you, but not the end of the world, especially if you only exceed your normal 5 GB limit once in a blue moon.
Some customers of T-Mobile's pre-paid service are getting something that they didn't expect: free tethering. Based on the T-Mobile My Account App, some of the carrier's customers with a pre-paid SIM card noticed a new line item for Mobile HotSpot Usage. On a $30 5GB pre-paid plan, 100MB of free HotSpot usage appears. Those using the $70 pre-paid plan are finding 2.5GB worth of free tethering for the month. The interesting thing is that T-Mobile's pre-paid plan website shows no sign of anything other than the usual $15 required to tether up to five other devices using a mobile HotSpot.
