foxfi wireless tether app w/virgin mobile

i have two virgin mobile phones. both are separate 'Beyond Talk' $35/mo prepaid unlimited data plans.

phone 1: LG Optimus V

phone 2: LG Volt

on both phones, i have the FoxFi app installed so that i can use the phones as a wifi hotspot for my computer. the app does work on the older Optimus V. it does NOT work on the much newer Volt. when i try it on the volt I get an error message that says "Network error: Unable to connect to data network. You may not be subscribed to the data plan for Hotspot and USB tether service. Please contact your phone company."

any idea why FoxFi would work on the Optimus V and not the Volt even though they are both signed up for the same plan?

and is there another hotspot generator app you suggest that would work with the Volt and my plan?

please advise. thanks in advance!
