I have an unlimited data plan, but it does not allow hotspot usage. You need to subscribe (and pay) for this seperately.
I use the Verizon hot spot feature when we go to the lake in TN. It is slow but effective. I am grandfathered in unlimited as well but you are correct in that the hot spot data is in packages or 2 gig or 5 gig or so. I pay $20 for the 2 gig and am able to turn it on or off via myverizon account on the computer or via iphone. It is a pro rated feature so it can be for a few days or weeks or etc.
