Nothing to worry about.
Here ya go
Sprint Hotspot = $30 a month, you can use your phone to connect your laptop, ipods..whatever to wifi internet, just like you would in your house using your wireless router. 4g and 3g connection.
Wifi Tether = FREE - This will require you to root your phone. You can connect devices just like the Sprint hotspot, using 4g and 3g connections.
Wired Tether = FREE - Just like Wifi tether only you connect your phone to your laptop via usb cable and you can get internet on your laptop using your phones internet connection.
Wifi = Connecting your phone to your wireless router or coffeeshops wireless internet is free. It's just a feature of your phone. Don't panic. It's free!
Hope that helps you out!
