Hello. I am a bit miffed at tblowhole. I called trying to add the 14.99 tether plan to my account that has "truly unlimited 4g".
I was told it was impossible to add for it would not work. Now any good xda junky knows that this is untrue. I can tether through work around that prove them to be lying, now what has me miffed is even if we want to pay for it we can't.
Now I am wondering if we whom are on this whack ass carrier can do something about them discriminating and lying flat out to those of us on the plan. They will sell the package to everyone else but us.
I feel this is a deceptive practice and would love to get as many users as possible to write and email to the bbb and fcc for the unfair business practices.
I am fully aware of tsucktoes jargon and schpeal and know it to be flat bs. They are lying to us and refuse to offer the same services to us that they offer tiered customers.
Subscribers unite and let's figure out how to but their balls to the flame and let those of us willing to pay for it on this plan get it. I would rather be legit and not have to try an circumvent this bs through other means.
What say you?

It's not that the "can't" do it, it's that they "won't". If they were to offer that option to the truly unlimited plan I'm sure they would increase the cost of that plan quite a bit. I don't see how this decision could be called "deceptive" since the plan description does say "Smartphone Mobile HotSpot service not compatible with Unlimited Nationwide 4G Data."
The reason they have tethering plans with caps as well as the unlimited plan is because they don't allow tethering on the unlimited plan. If you want to tether get a capped plan.

You weren't lied to. T-Mobile reps can't add mobile hotspot along with Unlimited 4g. It wouldn't work when they process it in the system. Complaining about this when you post on a developers forum which has posted plenty of work arounds seem childish. Be grateful that T-Mobile even offers unlimited 4G and didn't follow AT&T and Verizon in capping data.

Well, you tether with the option which you're not supposed to.
You can do it for "quickie", but you're warned. You may be moved out the "unlimited" option and moved to 5GB or 10GB and you're flagged.
I wouldn't risk it because I need it (remote desktop uses a lot of data), and I have webconnect plan so I just use it when I need it.

How is that discrimination? If they were to allow tethering on the unlimited plan then many people would turn off their home internet service and just use their phone's mobile hotspot feature. This would drastically increase the data usage on T-Mobile's network and slow down service for everyone. That's why the unlimited plan cannot be used with the mobile hotspot service.
On an unlimited plan it makes sense for them NOT to allow tethering. Think what would happen to the bandwidth if everyone started tethering with unlimited data. Business sense is all that is, and I prefer they keep it that what so my data plan doesn't go up in price. That would happen for sure if that were to happen. Sorry but that's just now it is.

Actually, I don't understand why they didn't cap it when they first introduced the tethering plans.
Their USB network devices all have data caps. How is tethering from a phone rather than from a USB stick any different?
So if we are using it on a rooted phone with the hacked hotspot and unlimited data plan, they can't cap that. Only for people paying the 29.99.

Soooo, do I keep the SG2E4GT or take it back and use my MiFi from Millenicom that I am using that is $69.99 per month for 10GB on 4G or 3G when 4G isn't available-total of 20GB per month?

I was just checking out their plans. They're good unless you want to use data, then they're pretty bad. With the amount of data I use, I couldn't use a plan from them.
Not sure if this should be in general, as it is a question. xD
But a month after purchasing my galaxy s 3 and signing a 2 year contract for the unlimited plan, t-mobile decides to make the 30 dollar 5G data unlimited text 100 minute plan to UNLIMITED data. And for me to switch it would cost approx 600 dollars -.-
Has anyone else seen this?
haven't seen any update on their official website so I'm a little confused :/

the $30 plan is not true(when are they ever) unlimited it caps you at 5GB 3g/4g and throttles you to EDGE once you get to 5GB. i've had this plan since the day it was introduced sometime fall of last year. its an ok plan if you dont rely on it as your only internet source or dont need minutes. i use skype and have wifi at home so it works for me. but i do reach the cap more often than not.

Recently I have been getting an extremely unreliable 4g connection and my 3g connection isn't much better. I called Sprint several times but they offered me no resolution except to "feel free to roam until we fix the towers in your area". So I turned off 4g and set my phone to automatically allow roaming. This month I had to download nearly 80 GB of images off of a cloud service because my subscription was about to expire. Right now my only internet connection is through my phone, so I tethered it to my PC in order to download the files.
It turns out I was roaming the entire time and I have roamed around 97.4 GB in my most recent billing cycle. Do you think they are going to terminate my contract? Or do you think I will get off with a warning?

He hit 78G in data roaming and they found out he was using his phone for PC gaming while on vacation. And yep he is paying for it right now.
How is that even possible? I've been told if over half of your usage is roaming you will be disconnected. Even though Sprint claims roaming is unlimited.

it's in terms and conditions of the contact. They hold the right for excessive roaming.
And if they determine that you're tethering without paying, they'll claim fraud.

Oh no they'll cancel you contract when you don't pay that big bill. But yes you will have to pay for services rendered which is tethering and data used beyond the 5gigs given for tethering.
But like I said earlier carriers are not stupid and they will come after you and they know places lime this and could link your statement here as proof bit they really won't need that once they drop the IP bomb that will tell them what devices where used via your phone. Trust me they can tell but no system.is bullet proof so they cannot block it as some apps pull info via desktop browsers calls and a blanket block would kill those. So they just tag all the over the top users, especially when roaming is envolved.
I've got a TZones plan, and would like to move to a Note 2. Which of the three Note models is the best choice for me between the AT&T I317, the Canadian T889V, and the international N7100/N7105. I'm in SoCal, so if LTE is coming I'm thinking it'll be here soon. I really need to be able to wifi tether, that is a key function for me.
Thanks for the advice and help!
No advice?
Ditch tzones, cause they could do a force upgrade, they are being more diligent in checking devices that log on, but if u was to go with tones, I would use a rooted international, which would only get you edge anyway.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2
Ok, assuming I do ditch tzones, is there a plan that doesn't have data caps and allows me to wifi tether?
Also, if I want to keep trying my luck, is the T889V the best choice? I've read the blocks on Canadian phones have been very few.
Wow, you're really still using tzones, huh? And you expect to be able to use unlimited 4g data with tethering? Ya Got balls, buddy
I can't help you with device choices, only people that could are the ones who have taken the risk and experimented with different devices.
But, I can tell you there is no data feature that's completely unlimited AND includes tethering officially. Tmobile uses throttling, so when you hit your "softcap* for the month, your internet speeds are turned down painfully slow (like down to 100kbps).
Assuming you changed to a value plan(since you seem like the type that is fine with paying full price upfront for the phone), here are your choices:
2gb softcap, no tethering = $10
5gb softcap, tethering = $25
10gb softcap, tethering = $55
Truly unlimited, no softcap, but also no tethering = $20
Note that some people are still finding ways to get around the tethering block on non-tethering data features, but results are extremely mixed. So if you're willing to experiment(and, of course, be violating tmobile's terms), you MIGHT be able tether under the radar. I suppose you are willing to, since you're still trying to use a 2004 flip phone data feature on a galaxy note 2
Anyway, good luck man. Hope that helps.

Tmobile uses throttling, so when you hit your "softcap* for the month, your internet speeds are turned down painfully slow (like down to 100kbps).

Or as what we, ex Sprint users, refer to as "Blazing fast Internet" :laugh:
I guess I could go with truly unlimited and add tethering...the tethering is important to me.
You can't add tethering to the truly unlimited feature.

So no cap and no tether, or tether and throttle? Booooooo
When I say tether, if root isnt the first word that comes to mind then there is probably something wrong
