tmobile catches everyone, eventually. you need to pay for the service. it works on lte, tethering, its included in my service though.

T-mobile blocked me after 500mb used by tethering.
I purchased FoxFi and it works great, no issues so far, and i have used about 30gb this month of streaming netflix
Better paying 8$ or 7$ than paying a monthly 10$ fee

X Pure on At&t unlimited data grandfathered plan?

Hey all- There is much q&a about getting the mobile hotspot and tethering working with verizon's unlimited data but i have not seen much about att's.
So my question regarding the ATT unlimited data grandfathered plan (plans before mobile share) is this. Who out there has the older ATT grandfathered unlimited plan and has mobile hotspot working with/without root?
I liked that when i bought my Nexus 5, mobile hotspot worked just fine out of the box and i never had to do anything to make it work. I would like to upgrade to the new X Pure, but concerned about my plan and compatibility OOB. Any insight is greatly appreciated.
thanks!

I have a grandfathered AT&T unlimited plan, and tethering does not work out of the box. I am planning on trying a couple of the tethering apps today to see what happens, and if it is a no-go I'll root. I've seen a few posts either around here or Reddit saying that tethering on AT&T does work with root.

I rooted my phone and installed xposed installer to allow me to tether. I have AT&T and an unlimited data plan. Everything is working fine.

Nexus 6p WiFi tether problems

So I bought a nexus 6p and have rooted it. The reason for rooting is for the tether feature. I'm grandfathered in on Verizon's unlimited data so that's why tethering is a big deal. Each app I try doesn't work but I know I have root access. Help anyone?

The 2 apps I have tried are barnacle and open garden.

Did you try the built in Tether feature? to see if that works, via USB?

I do not have tethering as part of my plan at vzw.

I normally use open garden to ovoid tethering cost.

You don't need it for this device.
It just works. No need for those other apps.

Won't it charge since I don't have tethering as part of my plan?

Tethering on Grandfathered unlimited data?

Since it looks like there will not be any root, I was wondering if there is away to tether if you have old unlimited data plan? Thanks!

FoxFi works for me. I did also buy the FoxFi Key when I saw that FoxFi worked.

I do not own an s7 yet, but has anyone got tethering to work with the new root exploit?

FoxFi Tethering on Nougat?

Hey guys, the OTA update hit my phone, but I haven't installed it yet. For those who have, does FoxFi tethering work? If I can't tether, then I'll be stuck on 6.0.1

Just downloaded and i can confirm it is not working as of yet.

Based on what I read it pretty much never will work. It has to do with an exploit that was used to hijack a setting to get tethering to work.

Is there a way to prevent the phone from updating, or at least get rid of the nag screen?

me too....help

My kid and I both have S7, he unfortunately updated to Nougat. No foxfi for him. But we do have unlimited data, the new plan. Verizon is only carrier to give 10g of hot spot tethering, he uses it as if he still had foxfi. There are no overage charges. He games, Alot. No complaints.

The tethering on my phone has always worked never had to use foxfi just turn on the mobile hotspot and connect with whatever device you need connected I use this for online gaming on ps4 and youtube videos at night

I believe tethering is included when you have a tiered data plan. Those of us with an older grandfathered unlimited data plan, we needed FoxFi to tether to avoid the $30+- charge. Now Verizon requires us to select the new unlimited data plan (that throttles at 22gb) to even pay to use tethering.

It's not really throttled it just puts you second to lower data users on the same tower that you are connected to I guess I don't experience the slow down because of where I live but even in the big cities neer me I still get full speed but I understand being on the grandfathered plans I was too at one time then I got a family lol
