just becuase you connect to a router or a WAP does not mean that it is using your service
when i connect my laptop to my router , my laptop is not supplying the router with internet content.. it is simply talking to it
the same goes for the phone
if you want to use the phone's 4G network as a router so that OTHER DEVICES (laptop, etc) are able to connect to the internet...then THAT COSTS EXTRA
how can you NOT WRAP YOUR HEAD AROUND THIS?????

Nobody said your phone would be a router. Sprint didn't say "for your phone to be a router you need the hotspot add on." No, they said in order to access WiFi you needed it.
