$55 comes with tethering so no.
 
Im lost here......I was told that $55 includes tether, no wireless hotspot. Heck I cant even click my hotspot button unless ..well yall know the rest
 
must be something with the PS3. if you try to tether to your PC you'll get some sites to load but most wont work. you have to find a workaround otherwise.
 
Tethering to your ps3 is gonna send huge red flags.

It's not going to be hard to figure out what you're doing if its not included in your plan
 
To test it I tethered to my ps3 played mw3 only used 19mb. My guess is he's on the individual plan that's $55 unlimited a month without $5 faily discount. If he had the hotspot addon it's the 50 plus 10 then he would have to have the family plan for it to go down to $55.
 
Iv hade the motion for a mounth now and i had the 50 dollar plan at first and it would not let me tether then i went to the store and switched to the unlimited data went home rebooted my phone and then. It let me tether i am on the family plan with to other lines but i called metro to see what the dill was and they said i was on the 55 dollar plan and i asked if tether was included and she said no but i use the 4g mobile hotspot allthe time on my iphone 4 with no issues and also have used it with ps3 but i dont use much data when i tether whats the dill
 
metro so dumb they prolly only have web browsing filters set. Try the web browser on the ps3 n see what it can get too.

But even so, they can still tell you're using a shyt ton more bandwidth than you normally would just using the phone as intended (if you actually played a game etc).
 
Like doustin i did all that...
I tried it with fifa i played like two matches
I am on the family plan and i did go to the main store
Nd the manager said im not getting charge but if they find
Out they might cut it out or some bs
Ike that
Use it till it worksss
 
I'm on fifty five $ unlimited plan not the family plan I've tetherd other phones and tabs, especially my sons phone so he can download new games to my old defy for car rides and stuff I've never been charged more than fifty give bones
 
Keep in mind that I'm still using the Admire, and I'm rooted but I've been using my phone as a hotspot for my laptop for the past 3 months. I've done everything from normal browsing and Netflix to playing Star Trek online.. I've never been charged anything extra nor been given the proverbial 'dirty look' from Metro. I really don't think they give two shits what we do as long as we're paying our bill on time. And anything said by the in store MetroPCS employees is basically bollocks, they don't know their own asses from a hole in the ground.
