I was just wondering what happens if you turn on internet tethering on the iPhone 4 when you have the unlimited data plan? Are you charged an extra fee for tethering? How does AT&T know?
View 8 RepliesI bought my sprint iPhone 4s because AT&T is throttling my data connection. I having been using my AT&T razor for a data connection since before the term "tethering" was invented. For those of you who are thinking of switching to sprint because AT&Ts is throttling your unlimited data plan.....don't...the data connection with sprint and the iPhone 4s is actually slower than my old AT&T razor throttled and the sprint plan is more significantly more expensive. For this reason and because ever since I downloaded my first app I have been spammed relentlessly and because Siri is really a beta app and because the iPhone locks up on occation, I am giving my iPhone back to sprint.

I want to share my two cents with ya'. Now that ATT is taking away the unlimited data plans from the iPhones, then ATT should not make customers get the mandatory data plans, it should be up to the customers to get data. I think ATT is the worst phone company in the US, but we have no other options, the monopoly will end when Verizon will get the iphone later next year. The iphone is the best mobile phone, but when you combine ATT in the mix, it lowers the satisfaction to customers. I am really fed up with att, to a point that I am buying an Iphone and immediately unlock it to use it with any other company except ATT.

I was wondering if it was possible to use a voip app and a data only package to use the voip app like a phone service from someone like AT&T. There is a jailbreak app which tricks the iphone to think it is using wifi when it is using 3G. Is this feasible or even possible?

View 1 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone know how to make it so that tethering data usage is shown seperately in the settings app like it is on phones with tethering enabled officially? It seems to be enabled in the plist, but it just won't show it. I remember I was able to see it on a my 3GS with 3.1.2 without doing anything beyond enabling tethering.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am currently using a Droid RAZR but would like to switch back to my Droid 2 Global for a short time. On the Verizon site I get a message during activation saying my unlimited data plan is not compatible and I am given other data options. Unlimited is included in the list so I am not worried about switching TO the old phone. My question is this:
If you are reactivating a 4G device coming from a 3G-only device, will you lose your grandfathered unlimited data plan on Verizon?
Verizon Wireless now has a really good hotspot tethering plan for 4G phones. For $30/mo you get unlimited 4G tethering on your phone which is a bargain compared to the tablet plans especially considering 4G is 10x the 3G speeds.It makes we want to run out now and get a Samsung Charge so I can drop my 3gB Xoom plan. I'm going to stick with my Xoom data for now and hold out a three or four weeks for the Bionic. Hopefully Verizon won't change this offer before the Bionic comes out.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI will start by saying that I did/do like the service/price of Red Pocket. I mean you $49.99 for "Unlimited Everything" except data, No Contract etc... Very appealing to me that was for sure. However, I recently found out that there isn't always TRUTH in Advertising!!! After weeks in the field training Soldiers for Combat, I finally got a Weekend off. So Naturally my phone got a little busy especially since it was also my Birthday Weekend (we call this "Peek Traffic"). Being a Single Soldier I had multiple "Lady Friends" communicating with me that wanted to spend time and celebrate with me during my minimal time off. However, unknown to me Red Pocket has their system set so that if you send/receive 1,000 texts in a 24hr period the system will automatically turn off your texting ability. When I called in to figure out why text wasn't working the Operator (can't call them Customer Service Reps as they don't have enough training and that would require them to actually Resolve your issues and make the Customer happy) said that it was cut off because I had 1,000 texts in a 24 hour period and that is considered "Unreasonable Use (UU)" according to their "Terms and Conditions (TC)". She just kept repeating that phrase and talking about the 1000 texts like I was so wrong and I was a horrible person for it. When the fact was I usually don't use it that much but had been in an Army Exercise for weeks and was my first day off and out of the woods in weeks. yes I was talking to several women at once and having "individual"conversations with each of them. Isn't that what men do? Especially men that have been in Combat Training for weeks with no chance to socialize and talk to any ladies?
I read the TC para III (b) and no where does it mention anything about 1000 texts in a 24 hour period and it says that texts are allowed unlimited provided that it's for conversations between individuals. This is what Red Pocket's definition in the TC is: "UNLIMITED text services are provided solely for live messaging purposes between two individuals" (this was taken directly from their TC). This was exactly the type of messages that I had during that period. This is what the TC says can allow Red Pocket to disconnect your text: "UNLIMITED text services may not be used for Premium SMS which utilizes short codes, SMS chat programs, monitoring services, data transmissions, or other connections that do not consist of uninterrupted live messaging purposes between two individuals." Can someone Please tell me how these two phrase equate to an Operator telling me that my use was Unreasonable? Especially since this is their definition of Unreasonable? It also says that prior to RP taking any action that they would notify the user. I wasn't ever notified and they just turned it off the afternoon before my Birthday and during conversations with my lady friends. Then the operator said it was impossible to turn back on unless I purchased a new plan. A new plan??? This one was only 13 days old... Why would I pay another $49.99 just to get text messaging? She also said that there was no one else to speak with about it and that there was no supervisor. Now I can understand why they wrote the TC like they did. They wrote it so that Companies and idiots can't purchase one of their plans and spam people with advertisements and such and send out thousands of texts for business purposes etc... But These texts were not for any business purposes.. They were for Socialization Coordination Efforts commonly referred to as "booty calls"... All they had to do was look and could have been able to tell that easily. But at least as a Customer Service Rep, you should at least be able to resolve a customer's issue and make them happy to keep them as a customer. Especially something as simple as turning text back on and offering a warning or something. So beware All.... Unlimited to Red Pocket means find a reason to turn off your service and force you to Purchase an Additional Plan. So maybe their definition of Unlimited is an unlimited scheme to get your money. I am writing this for two purposes: 1. Because Red Pocket needs to be aware that their Employees are incompetent at Customer Service and Because there doesn't`1 seem to be any leadership when you call there. 2. For the amusement of others to laugh at such a lengthy post regarding the loss of Text messages. Because on the grand scheme of things this is a small thing. But hey if no one ever says anything about them or to them, then they will continue to treat others like that.
When I try to trethering the XoomFE, running Win 7,shows up as a network device.
What can I do to get the FE to connect as a tablet.
I currently have ATT cellular service and I am currently using the Samsung SGH A707 Sync. I plan to tether to my laptop and would like to get the $15(200 Meg) or $25 (2GB) data plan. I have previously used the unlimited data plan and tethered to a LG CU500 about two years ago.I recalled setting up the dialup connection (via Bluetooth) with
username: WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM
password: CINGULAR1
and dialed *99#
Are those parameters the same now if I use the A707 sync? Or did ATT changed those parameters already?I have also noticed that the A707 Sync has a different connections setting than what I used previously on the LG CU500. There are FOUR types of connections setting in the A707 Sync. They seem to have been preset. Here are the connections settings:
1. MEdia Net wap1.X
wap.cingular
Auth Type: Secure
WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM
password: ********* (presumably CINGULAR1)
Protocol: WAP
Gateway address: 66.209.11.61
2. MEdia Net wap2.x
wap.cingular
Auth Type: Secure
WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM
password: ********* (presumably CINGULAR1)
Protocol: HTTP
Proxy address: wireless.cingular.com:80
3. AT&T MMS
wap.cingular
Auth Type: Secure
WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM
password: ********* (presumably CINGULAR1)
Protocol: HTTP
Proxy address: wireless.cingular.com:80
4. AT&T IMS
ims.cingular
Auth Type: Normal
Protocol: HTTP
Proxy address: 0.0.0.0:80
What are the differences between the settings and which of the four would the appropriate connection setting for tethering to the laptop?Lastly, my main task would be somewhat routine (checking email/check ebay item/bank account/paying bill) using the data plan probably around 3 times a day for no more than 5-10 min.
Should I get the $15 or $25 data plan?
i recently adquired a sk17 and when i turn on tethering lose the data connection, anyone knows why?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a Motorola RAZR international GSM version (XT910). It is an unlocked phone without any contract or carrier branding.
I seem to have issues whenever i try using my phone as a WiFi Hotspot. When the Hotspot is turned on the data connection drops. I have tried this while using the device as a hotspot for my iPad and/or my laptop. I'm able to browse normally when i'm directly browsing on the phone. But the moment i begin to use the phone as a WiFi Hotspot i see the data connection immediately getting terminated. Even the data toggle widget i have on my home screen gets toggled off automatically. It comes back up once the device i tether from stops trying to access the hotspot.
This is not a carrier limitation. I tried using the same SIM Card on 2 other unlocked phones (Xperia X10i and Galaxy S2) and they both tether just fine. I also contacted my carrier and had the network and APN settings reset while using the RAZR. That didn't seem to solve the issue either. I have tried every solution that i know of. I have even reset the phone to factory settings a couple of times. But nothing seems to work. There are no Smart Actions setup that conflict with the data connection. I'm totally clueless about what is causing this issue.
It is really frustrating to know that i am able to tether even on a two year old Sony Ericsson Xperia X10i that's running Android 2.3.3 but not on the brand new RAZR for which i had to pay around $700.
More details about the phone and software version i'm running on are-
System Version- 65.1.21.XT910.AsiaRetail.en.03
Model Number- XT 910
Android Version- 2.3.5
Baseband Version- U_03.1C.85P

I have a SM-G900F (no carrier) European S5, bought like a couple months ago, not rooted or installed any custom rom, full stock on 5.0.
When I enable Mobile Hotspot or share the connection through USB, the other devices connect just fine, but no data is received at all.
* Tested with both a laptop and another phone
* To rule out carrier restrictions, I put the SIM in a Nexus4 and enabled Wifi tethering, then connected to it with the S5, works np, just not the other way around.
I read about apps that allow tethering of other devices without the additional tethering plans... foxfi was one that was suggested... however, I don't think it is working on the S6. Any app that works?

So if it says delivery date of 6/23 and it doesn't show "out for delivery" don't be concerned because it will most likely be delivered. Call Fedex to verify though.
