[Trick] Free Hotspot access for AT&T device

DilHil

Newbie
AT&T ONLY!
I have found a way to get it for free! You simply go into
settings>wireless and networks>Mobile Networks>Acess Point Names
then press menu>Add new APN
Fill information out as the following (Case Sensitive)

Name: Wi-Fi

APN: wap.cingular

Proxy: wireless.cingular.com

Port: 80

Uname: WAP@CINGULAR.COM

Pw:CINGULAR1

MMS Protocol: WAP 2.0

MCC: 310

MNC: 410

Now when your done with that you press your menu button again and "Save" then you will go back you will see that MEdia Net has the green Dot, you need to click on "Wi-Fi" the one you just created. After that just go back to your home screen, Reset your phone and now Wifi Hotspot works for free!
*Thanks Button!*

I guess I'm missing something. I don't have Access Point Names under Mobile Networks.
 
1) That setting is for ATT And,

2) You didn't find anything new. This APN has been around forever and used for unbranded/unlocked GSM phones.
 
Yeah i dont have that either.

Or you could just root, and have it free for almost a year now.

You don't have it for free..you just have a feature that is built into the phone and should be allowed to be used without charge. I'm sure you're paying for whatever data is being used, so what's the problem? (unless you're on unlimited data..then that's a problem)
