On each line with Above Unlimited, you get a 20 GB allowance of data at 4G LTE speeds for Mobile Hotspot each bill cycle. Once you've used the 20 GB of 4G LTE data, your Mobile Hotspot data speed for that line will be reduced to up to 600 Kbps speeds for the rest of the bill cycle.

Non-Mobile-Hotspot data will continue to be at 4G LTE speeds until 75 GB, while your Mobile Hotspot is reduced to up to 600 Kbps.

You can purchase a 5 GB Data Boost on a line for $35 to extend 4G LTE speeds for Mobile Hotspot. You can buy up to 20 Data Boosts per line per bill cycle.

Visit our Data Boost FAQs to learn more.

Note: A Data Boost won't extend your 4G LTE speeds on non-Mobile-Hotspot data. Once you've used 75 GB in a month on a line, in times of congestion your data may be slower than other traffic.

Smartphones and basic phones are eligible for Above Unlimited.

If you signed up for Unlimited after 6/18/18, the connected devices (e.g., tablet, mobile hotspot device, smartwatch, etc.) on your account need to have their own compatible data-only plan. When you add devices, you'll be asked to choose the data plan for each device.

Once your line exceeds 75 GB during your bill cycle, most of the time you'll continue to enjoy the same great network experience.

If you're on a cell site that's congested at that moment, your download may be temporarily queued behind other Verizon customers. This may result in slower download speeds relative to another Verizon customer's experience on the same cell site at that moment. Your Mobile Hotspot data may also be temporarily slower than other traffic during times of congestion.
