much time on it when I should be sleeping or doing household chores ☺️
With unlimited data plans, it just as easy to use with your phone as the hotspot, no need to buy a cellular enabled tablet.

Enjoy!

Things will either get slow and cost a lot, or just cost a lot, depending on what the local internet traffic is like at the time.
Also watch the battery on the phone. These hotspots can use a lot of power.

It runs off my cellphone data and I can use
it on all my apple devices, including the
computer.
