If you want mobile hotspot, boost mobile is where it's at mang. They give you 8GB of it on the unlimited plan. Though I have no idea what happens after you use the 8GBs, gonna find out this month. I think they throttle it to 128Kbps but I'm not sure.

I have unlimited data with Verizon and want to use it though.

I just went through like 5 'wifi tethering' apps and they all fail. They're just a skin on top of the native functionality which is blocked.

And I don't have a usb c converter so I can't root shit.

>>54709330
I didn't take anything from Verizon. I'm using the developer preview of N and before that I took whatever OTA Fi pushed out prior to that. I just got a new sim card today/my phone activated on Verizon so maybe the guy did some sorcery on my phone in the 30 seconds I wasn't looking? It seems improbable though.

Too bad, verizon are big fucking jews that want to bleed you dry of your money. Though congrats on being on a grandfathered plan. Hang on to that as long as you can.

Though if you really want hotspot then I'm afraid switching to another carrier is your only option. Rooting has become increasingly difficult to impossible. Tried like 20 different methods to root my Warp Elite, none have worked so far.

Metropcs is also a good MVNO with mobile hotspot though their unlimited high speed plan costs $5 more than Boost's. one.

I recently switched to Project Fi. It's great. No dicking you around, just straightforward, reasonable billing.

Remember the days when companies (especially Verizon) got special versions of phones that disabled all Bluetooth functions other than the Headset Profile so that you'd be forced to buy fucking *ring tones* through their stupid store?

Remember paying for *ring tones*?! Motherfuckers.

I got my first cell phone around 1998 or 1999. Nokia 6110 (or same family) on AT&T. You could send email to your phone number and, I think, respond from the phone. They didn't even know there was any value to texting yet!
>>
>>54709093
You're violating ToS though. If they start inspecting data packets they might figure out you're a freeloader and terminate your service. Careful family.

You also agreed to a ToS which includes things like DPI which violate your privacy if you see it that way. They usually take a few months to collect enough info to conclude you are using unauthorized mobile hotspot and when they find out they will usually give you a warning but they can terminate your service altogether if they chose to.

In the land of the free corporations are allowed to fuck over consumers left, right, and center. God Bless!
>>
>>54709708
My ToS did not include a DPI clause. I have been using it for years now and AT&T, the possibly most Jewish mobile carrier, has never said a thing.

So? How is your little story at all relevant?

The majority of my data use is over Wifi. With Project Fi, I can allocate a fairly low recurring fee and if I go over, I just get billed at a predictable, incremental rate. If I use less than the recurring amount, then I get a credit on my next statement. I'm not aware of any other company with such a clear, honest, consumer-friendly billing plan.

I generally use under a gig of mobile data per month. I'd bet a large percentage of /g/ isn't far off from my case.

I'm sure as I signed up for my service before this went into effect. They haven't cared for five years now, I doubt they will care now.

Here in the UK I can use my phone as a hotspot for free and since I have unlimited data I routinely provide free internet for those around me if I've got a charger and a plug. Feels good, man.

Doubt it. Most don't have free wifi and their own wifi to use all the time and people like watching youtube, netflix, or torrented chinese cartoons on their phones. Youtube alone can easily eat 1GB of data in a single day if you watch 720p clips all day.

Y'all niggas days is numbered. Enjoy it while it lasts. AT&T sent me a text warning that they would suspect my service if I kept using hotspot (used usb pdanet). Switched over to metropcs since then and make due with the 8GB they give me each month.
>>
>>54710138
Because I see the same fucking shitpost every fucking day. We get it the tripfag in the thread triggered you, don't blog about it in the thread.

What's worse is if people really hated tripfags that much then they would do everything to avoid giving them attention. Blogging about how they got triggered doesn't fucking help get rid of them you know.

One time I got a text from them about throttling beyond X data usage. I contacted their support immediately and made them aware of the FCC ruling making what they wanted to impose illegal. Suffice to say I have never suffered any throttling and have not heard from them regarding data usage since.
>>
>>54710224
I don't, everyone is equally shit and incompetent here whether you use a trip or not.

Anyway just fucking ignore them if they bother you that much. It's much better to filter them and stfu than to blog about them in the thread. Haven't you fuckers realized you're giving the fucking tripcucks what they wan't when you rant about them?
