Can the iphone be used as a hotspot?
Yes, if your plan supports the mobile hotspot feature.
Qponklipr,
I know the importance of understanding your iPhone connection options. The good news is that you can absolutely use your iPhone as a mobile hotspot. For the iPhone it is called "Personal Hotspot". As Ann154 mentioned the Mobile Hotspot availability does need to be an active option on your account, as well. Here's a link with more details on the plan requirements and this awesome feature: https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/mobile-hotspot-faqs/.
