Is it ok if I installed the app after I've done all of my tethering? Since I did check on the app in the "recent spend" section and it said I haven't spent anything over my allowance. Is that ok? I have not been tethering since I downloaded the app. Will I be fine?I believe that you won't be charged for tethering as you would technically receive an alert....you can also check online to see if you've used your allowance....don't install their app on your device which has their three sim...
my allowance still states 4gb left, even though I've used over 30gb....![]()
Okay, that is good, since I have been getting worried incase 3 charges me. Thank you for the info.Technically, you should be fine even though you've installed their application. Even if you didn't install their three app, you just need to enable data on your device and then browse to three to check your (my) allowance, it will tell you what you've used. Since you've checked and their recent spend section states that you've not spent anything over your allowance, then you shouldn't worry.
I know of some individuals who are using dongles hooked to antenna's to get better signal with wifi to Ethernet adapters, then maxing their connections. (which makes things worse for us medium users) :-(
I'm looking to get around the tether detection also, it used to be an easy thing to do. Now it looks like they use every trick in the book to stop it.
There's always at least one person who takes the moral high ground isn't there....@papa_lazerous so you're looking for a way to tether without consuming your data allotment?
Bypassing the restriction that prevents you from using data that you paid for however you like is one thing, but using data without paying for it is another thing entirely - and not something we can help with here.
I've not had any warning as I'm currently within my usage.
I've got a surface pro3 coming Friday and I'll be tethering that all the time so I really do need a work around.
Currently I'm using a note 3 running 5.0 on three. I have 2GB on my contract (although the wife has 4GB as she just upgraded to their newer plan) I've not had any warning as I'm currently within my usage. But when I do tether my data left using the my three app shows I'm using the tether. I've tried tethering to a Samsung Galaxy Tab 8" and it used to (over a year ago) tether without noticing but now if I tether on it my data still goes down. If I tether to my work laptop running Win7 it still notices. If I tether to my sons hudl2 in the car to give him YouTube access it notices. I've got a surface pro3 coming Friday and I'll be tethering that all the time so I really do need a work around

This article would certainly suggest that masking tethering is both possible and widespread

T-Mobile US said it would be using detection tools to spot when customers are circumventing data limits. Those who are spotted trying to hide their tethering traffic will receive a warning and, if caught again, will have their LTE plan reduced to T-Mobile's "entry level" plan.
is the summary of these 220 posts so far that you CANNOT bypass the "tether limit" without Three knowing?
I've noted the following with tethering;
Linux devices (linux mint/ubuntu) - Tethering OK
Android Tablet (Jellybean, kitkat, lollipop) - Tethering OK
Android Box - Tethering OK
iMac - Tethering OK
iPad - Tethering OK
PC Windows 7, 8.1 - Tethering - No text received, however on the PC browser, I get a Tethering block message from Three stating "Are you using your phone as a Personal Hotspot?" - BLOCKED!
Laptop Windows 7, 8.1 - Tethering - No text received, however on the PC browser, I get a Tethering block message from Three stating "Are you using your phone as a Personal Hotspot?" - BLOCKED!
could I politely request that the OP/admins change the name of this thread so it doesn't say "How to..."
