I have a question - I understand that using the phone at home I would connect to my BT wifi and so it would cost me nothing - but if I went on holiday and connected to a local BT hotspot, does that use up some of the data allowance or would that be free as well?</P><P>Thanks</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Keith p</P> Thu, 11 Nov 2021 16:10:56 GMT keithp 2021-11-11T16:10:56Z https://community.bt.com/t5/Archive-Staging/Bt-Hotspots-amp-mobile-data/m-p/2194186#M1255601 <P>Hello</P><P>After much deliberation I have decided to get a smart phone (the BT Galaxy A12).
