App to hide?

Hi

I have the all you can eat data from 3 and I would like to know if there is an app that allows me to use this Internet on my laptop without let 3 to know?
 
Not possible. Everything comes from them before it even reaches your phone, so they know what kind of data your phone requests from their servers before you even receive the signal.
 
But I would be using as I use on my phone to browse normal pages I just want to hide the fact that I'm using my laptop for that because they say that I'm not allow to do that
 
Again as I said not possible. There are different user agents for laptops and mobile devices when accessing the internet. If they want to, they can find out. Its impossible to hide. Plus, browsing on a laptop uses up data faster than browsing on a phone. You can try to limit your usage so they won't notice, but it doesn't change the fact that its impossible to hide. They can check this by just reading the data packets going through their network from your account if they want to.
 
For 2 years I've been using free hotspot capability from Sprint (which has unlimited data for phones but charges $30/month for hotspot capability) yet they've never complained to me. I only use the hotspot capability when I'm on the road, and even then I'm not a heavy data user, so maybe I don't draw their attention or merit their wrath. I'd guess that your service provider also wouldn't notice unless you start using a lot of data. And even then they'd probably warn you before cutting you off and losing your business.
