As far as I am aware, Hotspot is still ONLY for MetroPCS branded phones.

Not true, but tethering is not working today. Tech Support said it will work in a few hours.

I saw someone posted on another post that there BYOD phone was working with the hotspot.

 

[Ninjew]

With the change in net neutrality. I haven't heard of BYOD being able to use hot spot

Hotspot (aka internet sharing) sorta of works for my Lumia 925. When I try to turn on hotspot while on LTE it's blocked, but when I switch to 4G it works fine and doesn't count towards the 6GB hotspot data limit.

what are your APN settings for your Lumia?

The APN is fast.t-mobile.com, I think I figured out the problem. The 925 is using a older version of the cellular+SIM app which is limiting internet sharing to 4G of that device. I just bought the 640 and it works perfectly on LTE.

The 925 does not support LTE (no radio) but it does HSPA+ "21,42 markets"

I'm using the old 820, everything works except the internet sharing! keeps saying my plan doesn't include internet sharing. i have the 4 lines 100 plan just in case you're wondering.
