they have another plan T-Mobile Smartphone Unlimited Web + 400 for 24.95
this plan allow me to use the dash as modem and use internet anywhere? because im going to texa and where im staying at they no internt i cant live with out my internet lol
thank you for your time
the $24.95 unlimited definitely lets you use the dash as a modem. i just did that a few weeks ago (i had a sprint mobile broadband card with me & that didn't even get reception where i was. my phone did though!)

I was an Alltel customer forced to Verizon. That I won't get into. Anyways with my old Alltel 6800 i could share the internet when I was out of town on my laptop. Is this possible with the VZW TP2? Do I have to pay to teather? If I do I will be pissed as it will be another thing that VZW has screwed up for me.
I have gone as far as running the Modem Link but farther than that I have no idea.
Try a program called CM Internet Sharing. Do a quick search and you should have no problem finding a cab. It turns your phone into a wi-fi hotspot. I don't know specifically about sharing via bluetooth or usb for Verizon, but that program should do the trick for ya.
Just be cognizant of your data usage
microsofts internet sharing app doesnt work? if they removed the icon its in the \windows folder. you have to sync it up with active sync just before. if not, what i used to do on my old cmda phones was set it to modem mode and set up a a dial up connection on the computer with the number being #777 (i think) and no user name or password. you cant have data and phone at the same time on cdma and the speeds of verizons 3g are as slow as atts 2g, but whatever works.
You can also try WMWiFiRouter. It turns your phone into a wireless router that you access via WiFi.
may i ask why i must pay attention to the amount of data i use? i never had to before, and since i used pandora and a few other websites 9 hours a day, i use alot of data. is "unlimited" not really unlimited. I'm at 1.4GB for the month.
I appreciate the help, i will try all of these.
there is pretty much no way to monitor data usage. thats how they getchya. if it says unlimited it probably is really unlimited. there would be too many lawsuits if it wasnt. if you really dont have unlimited then i wouldnt tether. computers are not frugal with data usage.
they do very much frown on tethering and the phone "phones home" althouh there are easy way around it.
CM wifi is very cool app and i used june fabrics"PdaNet" when i used verizion on palm 600; so easy to use that i installed on this sprint phone
well i was still able to teather on the alltel based phone, on verizon network, without getting yelled at. I really only teather when i am out of town for car meets and we need to get online for the schematics. Like i said, im not frugal when it comes to data, even just on the phone. I just don't need another $30 added to my bill for this. Also i did hear that ATT (I am verizon) is limited 5GB/month on their "unlimited" plan
i did 5gb a month a few times (ive torrented on my phone ), ive never gotten extra charges.

I just found out about this app. I'm so mad!! >=.[
Once my Sprint plans runs out, Ima get me a MiFi device. For home use, I'll connect my laptop to this device, then I'll bridge my router to my laptop, thus allowing unlimited devices. =.P
I think this solves any Unlimited Talking and Text over data. Talk about cheating the system. The only downfall is that the MiFi devices usually have caps. =.[
Groove IP says it uses 1.2Mb per minute on a call, but I don't talk a lot. And I average 2GB per month. But that's only because I'm still in school and since I work there I can use the employee WiFi getting 12-15Mb speeds and at home I get 10Mb speeds. LoL!!
I kinda doubt I'll go to far since once I did 30GB from NetFlix on the Wii with about 4 other devices using my internet. Though now I think I'm just ranting. LoL!!
I have a Mifi from work. That thing doesn't provide a reliable connection for anything and its battery doesn't last long.
Save that money, get a GSM phone and a MVNO plan (Simple Mobile). You can also tether the phone to your Nexus via bluetooth.
Well by MiFi device I meant anything that does the same thing. I should have said a portable hotspots device. But I thought they're reception was just as good as a phone. So if you had a phone with the same service that means you wouldn't be getting as much service from work. And I have a 5000 mA battery charger. So battery isn't an issue. What's an issue is what you're telling me. If that's so, then it looks lyks my idea won't get me very far. LoL!! Thanks for the insight.
I have sprints unlimited data mifi...connection is great and f a s t.

I will be moving to an area that doesn't have any type of broadband available other than a cell phone signal and satellite. Now that T-Mobile's 70$ pay as you go plan is truly unlimited 4G with absolutely no caps I would like to know if it would be realistic to setup a second account and cellphone or mobile broadband device and just pay 70$ for mobile broadband that would only be used at home?
Would I be able to torrent? What are my limitations going to be?
Thank you
u could get a mobile data plan on a phone (i stress phone because it'll be cheaper) and then get a USB sim modem off craigslist. Get a newer compatible router (Asus n56, n66) and then plug the USB modem into the back of it and set it up. This method would provide your entire house (wireless and Ethernet) with internet as if you were connected to broadband.
I can torrent on LTE with my skyrocket at reasonable speeds, so I don't see why 4g would be any different. it IS however very signal dependent, so having at least 2-3 bars is ideal
Ok, so I recently bought a Samsung GS3 from my sister that has T-mobile. I took it to metro and they unlocked it and activated it for me. I chose the $50 Plan which gives me 2.5gb of Blazing Fast Internet. I also purchased the mobile hotspot. When I reached 2.5gb of data, it slowed down. I tether to play xbox. Unable to afford legit internet lol. Before, I was able to tether with my LG Motion 4g for free!. I never lagged as much, I was able to connect my tablet and ran with some smooth speeds. (with the $50 Plan). So I called and managed to call metro pcs and they were able to change it back to the lg motion. My speeds were still slow!. I asked them if I can change it to the $60 plan since it was unlimited and they said that Tethering is not compatible? Is there a way to have Unlimited Data and tether at the same time? I don't want to pay for Unlimited Data without being able to tether to my other devices. HELP!
You can't add tether to the $60 plan, but you may be able to tether if you flash roms with native tether enabled, or search and find other ways to tether.. And on a side note, they did not unlock your device, all T-Mobile phones are compatible with metroPCS

Hi, I was one of the att customers who was getting screwed/throttled after paying monthly for unlimited data for many, many years. After 2 consecutive months getting shut down on day 2 of my 30 day cycle I said "screw it", bought an unlock code, and now have tmo no contract, truly unlimited for $80 monthly, (with only 5g tethering). I downloaded the tmo app so I could track usage and pay my bill, (but froze tmo hotspot with titanium backup)
Using my att hotspot (which can't communicate with tmo) I routinely tether 6-7 devices using about 100g per month and have eliminated my $180 per month Uverse with mid-speed internet.
My speeds are routinely at 30-40 mbps - Life is good!
Flash back 3 months ago ............
I talk my friend into ditching sprint and his silly little iphone 4s, telling him about tmo truly unlimited, and I buy him a tmo branded N3 off of swappa, (since he was going to tmo). I knew very little about tethering back then, but knew tmo hotspot would meter his tethering.
So now he has hit 5g and his hotspot has been turned off.
Is there a way to install an att hotspot, (or any other) on his stock tmo N3 (which is rooted) or do we need to install a whole new rom? Looking for a quick, unmetered fix -
(PDA net has been mentioned a zillion times but does it really work like my att hotspot, set it/forget it) masks all tethering?
As usual, my answer is pay $2.50 for Wifi Tether Router... set a password... everything else default... Done.
At least... it works for me.

Not working for me, tried a zillion settings, (it's been a couple of weeks).
Funny thing is, I can get to google, I can type in "nfl", a bunch of links pop up, but when I click on one, won't connect, spins round and round, then times out. Links to pages won't load? How can I access google, (and other sites), but then that's it?, I thought I was either connected to the internet, or NOT? anyways .......
I think is has something to do with T-Mobile turned off the hotspot at 5gs tether, and these programs are NOT hotspots, they just mask the data so it cannot be measured. and when they turn on tmo's hotspot, it doenst work.
If I turn on tmos hotspot, I get redirected to their upsell page).
(maybe wifi tether routher will work in a few days when the new billing cycle begins and the hotspot is turned back on)
That being said, I originally asked how I could install the ATT "hotspot" so I could use that to tether, (like I do on my unlocked att N3 that I run a tmo sim in). the att hotspot cannot communicate with tmo so I tether 100gs per month and tmo measures zero data tethered.
So how can install the att hotspot?
I probably have to install the entire att rom, that's fine?
The phone in question is a rooted tmo. Can someone tell me how to install the att rom so I can get my friends N3 work the same as mine has the last 5 months using atts hotspot?
"at&t wifi hotspot on T-Mobile"
I still haven't received an answer to this question.
I'll expand it a little bit .... Can I install the stock at&t rom on my tmo N3?
(if so, can u post a link so I can get started - thx
Forget installing a at&t rom... If you are rooted.. Just install a different rom that has unlimited tethering.. Trust me it will work.. I tether WAY more then the 5gbs thats allowed.. And I havent been throttled or anything... My hotspot still works great
