Free WiFi hotspot (no root needed)

[Fulltime Traveler]

That article includes this: "Nonetheless, this does not apply to users of grandfathered unlimited data plans on Verizon. However, the mobile carrier actually does not have a way to establish if subscribers are using tethering apps so it would seem that all an Android-using subscriber needs to do is to download a tethering app and use their phone

I guess the FCC agreed with those of us who thought Verizon was wrong, despite their contract: http://socialbarrel.com/no-more-20-fee-to-use-your-phone-as-mobile-hotspot-on-verizon/41357/


Enjoy your new freedom!

Yeah, I saw that on Tom's Hardware as well.

Now Verizon just needs to get rid of their loyalty fee and they may not lose as many customers when it comes time for renewals.

i just bought a Samsung Galaxy S III with unlimited data (T-Mobile) and want to use it as a hot spot with my new tablet. The tablet that I purchased, was very cheap so this MAY be the problem. It is a Double Power M-975 with WiFi 9.0 Capacitive Touchscreen Tablet PC with Anddroid 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) Operating System. I followed the instructions for PDaNet for both my phone and the tablet which links ove to FoxFi. At first, on the tablet the hotspot was identified but it just said SAVED but would NEVER connect. Both devices have identify unknown sources checked. I hate to have to pay an extra $15 per month to use my phone as hotspot as I feel that I am paying ENOUGH for unlimited data. Can ANYONE help? I am in dire need as if the tablet won't connect, I need to bring it back ASAP. Thanks in advance!

I helped a friend through this and she had to use the bluetooth connection using foxfi and pdanet for it to work. when you start up foxfi select bleutooth and it should walk you through the steps.
