Does FoxFi/tethering work with Verizon Kit Kat update?

Native Note 3 tethering works - if you have a tethering account. You don't need Fox-fi. If you don't have a tethering account, it's only a matter of time before Verizon's program is looking at your data when you're tethering some laptop or other device and you're caught, regardless of what app you're using. (It's not the app that does it, it's the data you're transferring that does. For instance. downloading an exe file [or a zip of an exe file] on a phone flags you as a potential tetherer. Then you get watched closely.)

1. it doesn't cost me anything since i'm on the More Everything plan, i just hit their mobile hotspot app and hit 'on' and it goes through a few things and enables itself. my plan allows me to tether up to ten devices. no additional charge. i'd only pay an additional $10 if i added a data-enabled device (4G tablet, etc) to my plan.
2. i have a 12GB plan and i can tether to as any as ten devices, all at once, and share that same plan. every device i use will impact the 12GB data. no need for a separate data plan if you're tethering.

I can't argue with what you're stating Rukbat, but I've been tethering on my Verizon phones for 7 years and never been contacted about anything. I push well over 100GB a month through my phone, been doing that much for at least 4 years. I honestly think there are so few unlimited data people left that Verizon really doesn't care about us, just my opinion.
