50GB hotspot info

[Swordfish]

I have the old ED 1500 plan and saw there is a 50GB hotspot option for free. I know this is not new, but I recently added it for $0.00. 

 

Is it 50GB for every line each month ? If you exceed the 50GB what happens ? Is this a promo or permanent ? Have not found much specifics on it. Thanks.

It's 50GB for each line. If you hit 50GB you get dropped to 2G speeds and have the option to purchase more high-speed hotspot data. This is permanent (until we lose our plans after the merger).

So 50GB each month, then it resets next billing cycle ? I don't mind the slowdown, but there's not an automatic charge once you exceed though ? That's just the thing I want to make sure I avoid.

No charge. Resets automatically at the start of the next billing cycle.

Thanks for the info. Is there a way to check how much data has been used from the hotspot vs. normal data usage from the phone ?

Yes, it lists both in the mySprint app.
