Phone plan, F AT&T
 

I have the unlimited data plan with att. I was told by them today that despite paying almost $200 for 2 phones, I can't have a mobile hotspot. Really getting sick of this shit.

verizon costs me 260 for 4 phones we have more then enough data to cover all 4 phones and that includes me playing EQ off my mobile hot spot at work

I want the plan you're on. I however don't want to pay the close to $600 att is demanding if I cancel.

i think verizon will help you pay it if you switch

Same deal for me. If you have grandfathered unlimited data, they won't allow tethering.

What do you mean "allow"? Android + Rooted Phone = tethering I thought? At least that's the way it is for me on Verizon, but I'm not on an unlimited plan.

You can jailbreak your iPhone and download a hotspot app from Cydia. That's what I did anyway and it works like a charm.

I use an iphone 4s with page plus cellular for $12/month. The catch is, it's 3g only, thus the reason I'm still on the 4S phone.

Verizon lost a lawsuit a few summers back & I can hotspot using FoxFi ($8 app) without rooting.

From what I read, if they (AT&T) discover you used tethering with unlimited data, you will get a letter stating the following:

And it cancels your unlimited data, which you can't get back. Haven't tried it, since I have a mifi for work. If there's a way around this, I'd probably do it.
