April states she would like to use the cellular network from her iPhone to access the Internet for free on her Mac. What true statement can you give April?

Question

Options

• A"Personal Hotspot can come with additional charges. You should contact your carrier."
• B"You must enable Personal Hotspot on your iPhone before the feature can work for free."
• C"Personal Hotspot only works on CDMA networks."
• D"Personal Hotspot is a great way to access the Internet for free!"

• B

• C

• D

Explanation

Option A is correct because Personal Hotspot uses your cellular data plan, and most carriers charge extra for tethering/hotspot usage or count it against a data cap - April should verify with her carrier before assuming it's free.

Option B is a distractor because while enabling Personal Hotspot is required, the "for free" claim is what makes it false - enabling it doesn't make it free.

Option C is false because Personal Hotspot works on both CDMA and GSM networks, so restricting it to CDMA only is incorrect.

Option D is the most dangerous distractor: it's true that Personal Hotspot is a great way to share internet access, but calling it "free" is misleading - carrier fees almost always apply, making this a trap answer.

Memory tip: Think "Hotspot = Hot bill." Any time you see "free" paired with cellular data sharing, that's a red flag - carriers almost never give tethering away for free.
