Nexus5 or GN3 for T-mobile? The ONE must have feature for me in native tethering, which is available on the Nexus4, and I presume will be available on the Nexus5. Thoughts? Thanks.
- ChikkaChiChi 13y agoI have the Nexus 5 on my T-Mobile account as I write this, so my answer is definitely that!
- r00fus 13y agoWhat do you mean by "native tethering"? I have free tethering on my TMO Simple Choice plan for all my lines - which all have iPhones (I gather the phone doesn't matter).
- vinhboy 13y agoI think because you have tethering, that is why the tethering option on your iPhone is enabled. When you don't pay for tethering, or get it for free, that option is disabled. On the Nexus 4 and 5, the option is enabled regardless if you paid for tethering or not. This is because the phone comes directly from Google, so t-mobile did not get to install bloatware (custom OS) that disables the feature. I call it "native" because it is built into the OS, versus installing third party apps that mimic the feature. Usually these apps require rooting your phone.
