    Could be overkill, but if you’re out and about your cell data is likely on. Then what? Now, my phone, my laptop, or other devices can utilize it. Unlimited data.

      How’s that different from just running the hotspot on your phone?

        Your phone as a hotspot still uses the data plan, so all the data you don’t want going out still goes out. Using a hotspot eliminates a lot of the background data (set as metered network or use NetGuard, etc)

        Check out for more details, it’s been a while. It’s taken me months to test this all out as I took my time, but works well
