Can't use HotSpot, Plan Upgrade Required

[jberger]

I rarely use hotspot services, but with the Note2 I get a message that I can't enable the service without a plan upgrade.
I'm already on an unlimited 4g plan, yet they want another $20 for hot spot. I never had this issue with the Galaxy S or Galaxy S 4g. What are the best options to enable hotspot without requiring a plan upgrade.

My occasional use of hotspot is when I need to test a VPN connection outside of a client's network or pull down a firmware/software update for a client who's router is down, thus no internet connection. So say less than 20 minutes of hot spot on average and very little data use.
