Because they also sell a phone.
- josefresco 12y ago...that for an additional fee (paid to your carrier), can broadcast a local wifi signal
- mahyarm 12y agoWhich is a smaller fee ($0-$20) than another sim for your laptop.
- pmalynin 12y agoBluetooth tethering.
- baby 12y agoI'm gonna brag: here in France I pay 10€/months for unlimited calls, unlimited texts, unlimited internet (5Gb of "fair use"). I can do whatever I want with the internet, be it VOIP or hotspot station. And I can cancel my plan whenever I want.
- thesimon 12y agoIs this an old grandfathered plan or could anyone get something like that right now? Sounds really awesome.
- api 12y agoThis is what you get in countries where good infrastructure isn't considered a communist conspiracy and where one of the major political parties is not overtly anti-infrastructure. France, Germany, etc. also have public transit in most places.
- tim333 12y agoI'm paying about 5 euro / month in Vietnam where the infrastructure actually is a communist conspiracy, kinda.
- Tehnix 12y agoQuite common approach in Europe, I think? At least in Denmark it's the same, dirt cheap and all the data you need.
- baby 12y agoIt's usually 20€/month. Anyone can get that. But here we have venteprivee.com where like 3 or 4 times a year, operators put an offer for a lower price for their service. Every year, if you look around summer holidays, you can get internet for 2€/month instead of 20€/month and sometimes phone plans too for a very low price. It usually only last for a year and then you go back to normal price. If you are like me and you don't care about keeping your phone number, then you can just cancel your plan whenever there is a better plan or at the end of the offer :)
- tarblog 12y agoCan you clarify what you mean by "fair use"? Also, what happens if you go over the limit?
- baby 12y ago"fair use" means: if I go over 5Gb in a month, they then limit the speed and it becomes quite annoying to browse the web. It's funny because every operator uses that english term
- gambiting 12y agoIn UK Three has a truly unlimited plan with truly unlimited tethering. I have friends who just tether through their phones to desktop PCs instead of getting broadband at home.

- api 12y agoT-Mobile doesn't charge a fee.
- cpr 12y agoIs that even true any more with iOS 8? I don't pay anything on AT&T to use my phone as a personal hotspot, whether connecting via BT or Wifi.
- hrabago 12y agoWait, when did this happen with AT&T?
