Your personal hotspot network adopts your iPad's name, which happens to be Bob L's
iPad mini in Figure 13-12 .

At the time we wrote this, most carriers offered support for personal hotspots in some or all of their
data plans in the USA. There are still some that don't, so check with your carrier if you don't see a
Personal Hotspot option in the Settings app (and, of course, your iPad has 4G).
Verizon doesn't charge extra for this feature, but the data used by connected devices
counts against your monthly data plan allotment.
To see how much data you're using, tap Settings ⇒ General ⇒ Usage ⇒ Cellular Usage.
