There are three currently active unlimited plans on the Verizon Wireless network and two retired unlimited data smartphone plans. Please be more specific about the exact name of the plan you have.

I'm assuming it's the one that came out in February then. Did you get it between February and August? Now they have Go Unlimited and Beyond Unlimited.

Prepaid? If so, that would explain why you can't connect to the internet via the hotspot. The prepaid unlimited plan doesn't include the mobile hotspot feature.

Didn't think about pre-paid. Yep no hotspot on Unlimited pre-paid. not sure why. they could at least make it 600 kbps like Go.
