Hi All, Is Verizon the only company where you can buy your cell phone outright and have unlimited data? What if you want to use your phone as a hot spot, will you be able to add this to your plan as needed? This may seem like a strange question but if you have an ipad with a data service that is with att is there any way to switch it short of getting a new ipad? the service is not a contract service but is merely one that you can enable at will. Thanks.
