Most people don't have tethering plans.
- sdenton4 10y agoI dunno; I think the problem is that you don't mind getting a crippled phone with your contact? Bring your own device and you'll pay less for it and be subject to less bullshit...
- falcolas 10y ago> crippled phone The phone doesn't determine if you can tether; and even if it overrides the carrier's instructions and tethers when told not to, they can (and do) still tell the difference in usage and shut you down.
- bdcravens 10y agoI'll echo sibling comment. On the exact same device, tethering isn't related to device, but related to plan - typically tethering is an extra $50 or so. You can often tether for a very short time using a rooted phone without explicitly paying for it, but most carriers are very hip to that traffic.
- kuon 10y agoI didn't even know that you required a plan to do tethering, must be a US thing.
- m_t 10y agoIn a few plans I've seen in Europe, tethering can be prohibited in the ToS, but is not technically blocked. You can also find specific tethering plans, sometimes with 4G modems offered by the seller.
