Will I be charged if I turn on tethering without downloading any app? I don't have tethering included on my plan.

Shouldn't be. I'm on lp and have no issues. No app needed. Hooked right up.

It works without issue, since you got the device from Motorola and not Verizon, no edit to block the service.

I'm just unsure since I don't have tethering on my plan if it will charge me.

Definitely not or I would have had a huge bill past couple months. Use about 50 gig a month. 10 of that tether to multiple kids tablets and wife phone.

I just took over a Verizon account with 2 unlimited data lines. If I use wifi tether to tether to my ipad will they cut off my unlimited data?

Does anyone know or heard of anyone getting busted by verizon for tetherig without paying for it? I just upgraded to a galaxy s3 and I tether to my nexus 7 via foxfi. I noticed that it uses up quite a bit of bandwidth as I use it at work to stream videos. I used about 22gb in 2 weeks with my phone and nexus combined. I didn't want to get busted so I signed up for their hotspot plan which I get for $24 due to my discount and its unlimited (thank god). But with their hotspot app my phone gets extremely hot and sucks the battery super fast while foxfi runs very cool and I noticed that I watched a episode and a half of breaking bad and it only went down from 87% down to like 82% that really impressed me. So I cancelled my hotspot plan and just use foxfi instead do you guys think verizon will come after me if I tether like around 10-20gb a month? I don't want to lose unlimited but I don't want to use their crappy hotspot app either. I could pay for the hotspot service and use foxfi anyways so they won't get me for not being subscribed to a hotspot plan but It seems pointless to pay them and not use their app when I can do it on my own for free. Any advice???

Verizon has no idea if you're tethering, no way to get caught. Use which ever app works best for you

That makes me feel so much better I really want to believe you but I'm kind of paranoid I might just pay them for the right to use it and use foxfi anyways lol do you also tether with them?

Well I wouldn't say they have no idea... if you go from no data usage to 100 GB in a month I believe they would start to question, however you are most likely pretty safe.
I just subscribed to it just to play it safe now I can do whatever I want with no worries only 24$ extra

Any idea if this would work on the M? The only real reason I want root is to tether...

I have 5 people with smart phones so I went with the new family plan which includes Mobile Hotspot. Call verizon to see if you will be charged if you use it. The ads for the phone from verizon said 8 devices can connect with 4G and 5 devices with 3G. I think the carriers are beginning to realize that charging for tethering from a phone is a battle that they aren't going to win.

I have 3 smart phones and 2 regular phones and a tablet. 2 phones have unlimited data. I have a discount and I am only paying $20/month for the unlimited data per phone. I use 6+MB each month and the others barely use 2 combined.
I have asked VZW to review my account and the share everything plan will actually cost me money because of my discounts.

You don't have to root to thether. Verizon's hotspot app will work fine. I asked the guys in the store and a co- workers s3 worked just fine with hotspot.

There's also clockwork mod tether in the play store- no root needed. You have to pay for the app but it supports a great dev.

I am not looking to give VZW any more scratch than they are already getting.

Does this work on the M and without the account being provisioned for tether?

You can use the app "wifi hotspot and USB tether" by svtp. Go to settings and change the device profile to samsung Ics. After 2 days you have to pay for the app but it works with no root on the Razr M

I'm thinking of purchasing the LG G2 on T-Mobile. Can anyone confirm that free WiFi hotspot tethering works? Either through FoxFi or Custom ROM natively? I need it for my WiFi tablet and prefer not to pay extra for a tethering plan. Thanks!
AFAIK T-Mobile doesn't charge for tethering at all. Or at least they don't charge me. It just works out of the box stock. No root or anything. Unless you are on some old plan, I don't believe they charge on any of their new ones.

I have 500mb free with my plan. After that it gets blocked for my laptop but my tablets still connect and work perfect
Haha

Any suggestions on the free hotspot yet? I would pay for it but only 2 gig a month?! What a joke! I'm assuming still need root for it too. I have Sprint
Does WiFi tether still work? Try that
