Why is my iPhone 6 plus showing a hotspot now.. a working hotspot.. I never set it up or talked to them about it.. but its there.. is it free now? I have the old unlimited data that I was grandfathered in.. and never changed anything on my plan I have had for 10 years now..

Darrinbetthisscreenna,

You've always had this capability on your device. However, recently, due our nations response to COVID-19, we have applied a courtesy 15 GB's of Mobile Hotspot data allowance to assist you during this difficult time. It was automatically applied to consumer plans from March 25 through April 30, 2020. For more information regarding this emergency data allowance, click the link below:
