Does tethering use data or hotspot?
Hotspot data is consumed whenever a connected device uses a smartphone's internet connection. USB, Bluetooth, and WiFi can be used to tether devices to a mobile phone for internet access. Transfering locally-stored files between a cell phone and laptop over USB will not consume hotspot data quota.
How can I use mobile hotspot without using data?
Open the Settings app on your device. Tap the Connections option (may be listed as Network & Internet). Look for Mobile Hotspot and Tethering and tap on that. Toggle the Mobile Hotspot switch to the on position.
