Prepaid hotspot

[Kahroo]

Does T-Mobile sell any prepaid mobile hotspot devices, if so do they have a unlimited data plan?

 

[bhero]

Yes, no

It's the world we live in. I have had SOME success Using My Nexus 4 as a Mobile Hotspot While under 70$ unlimited plan. Some times the internet works, other times It says I need to add the mobile hotspot to my monthly plan

When it doesn't work you see the upsale msg on your computer?

Shop for a VPN and install that VPN app on your phone. Fire it up before you do hotspot. They are sniffing on your user agent.

Or get a browser that can change the user agent string.

If you use Firefox you can go to about:config create a new string
"general.useragent.override" and put the value of your android browsers request desktop site user agent string.
You get desktop website viewing that looks as if you are using your droids browser.

VPN sorta sucks for both heavy and light tether users.
VPN slows down too much for heavy data users.
VPN costs too much extra for light data users.

I do see about 15% drop if you pick a site that is near. Do latency check. I use VPN on desktop torrent and on phone. If you look around, you can get it for less than $4 per mth, but paid yearly.

I read if you do this string thing, you get to see the mobile website?

Cheaper VPN's are generally slower and less likely to be local.
For heavy users I was referring mostly to gaming, It is not possible to play games with a vpn and being on a mobile network.

When you "Request Desktop site" on your mobile browser, the browser changes its user agent string.
If you then put that "desktop site" user agent string on your desktop browser you appear as if you are browsing the desktop version of the web on your phone.

Here is a example of a "request desktop site" user agent string "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/534.24 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/11.0.696.34 Safari/534.24"
As you can see when you "Request Desktop Site" you basically begin telling the web that you use Linux and not Android.

What up? I use Private Internet Access VPN with my Samsung Galaxy Nexus. I was using BTGuard, but it only has Canadian servers, so it wasn't allowing me to stream Amazon Prime Video.

I stream HD video, music, and occasionally play games, though I wouldn't recommend it. It's laggy as balls. Also I torrent a ton.

This month I've used 106 gigs. Last month was 125. My month is up tomorrow.
