Root wifi hotspot

Anyone know if there is a way to get wifi hotspot with me not having to pay for it though metro?
 
Not to sound rude but we pay the cheep one, and we can use my hotshot without a problem. Does your phone have an EV at the top of the screen by your signal?
 
I haven't used usb tethering in a long time but when I did I used an app called easy tether/pro installed the program on the computer from my phone downloaded through the app...

You could be possibly having a simcard issue? Cause that's a reason sometimes the EV shows up.
 
You can use the wifi hotspot no matter what the only problem is metro n most carriers have it coded in a way that you have to be using a proper user agent. I have the $50 plan and I use my hotspot almost everyday with my tablet but it only works with the browser and apps. Some apps don't work because the user agent doesn't read as a phone. As someone said above grab a user agent switcher for the browser that you use. I recommend Firefox if your trying to get phone 4g on you pc without using usb tethering
 
Does anyone know how to get around metro blocking your tethering to windows?
