I just want to make sure that the exploit I'm using its not using any of free 500mb data cap you get when tethering... Is there any code I can punch or anywhere in the website where I can see my hotspot tethering usage? thanks in advance.

Couldnt find it in plans, so decided to chat with tmobile rep. this is the outcome.
She told me that i never added the free 500 mbs of free tethering to my account and that she would be able to do that for me at that moment.
So i asked her, do you see any data used for tethering on my account and she said no, so that means that the wifi hotspot work around was doing fine.
Then i asked should i be able to tether if i dont add this service, and she said no. which is wierd because i was tethering when i was speaking to her.
So guys should i add the free 500 mbs of tethering or just leave it as it is?
that is really weird.. since I can see it in plans... I'd say don't change it as its working right now and if it ever stops working which I doubt you could always change it

Are you paying for hot spot?? Sprint can see if you're using a wifi tether app and that violates the TOS so that's probably why you got the letter.

NONE. Tmobile is fully aware of the work arounds that people were doing in the past. They now monitor the data on their side and you will have to pay for it.
Tethering is FREE with a 5gig or larger plan now.

So all this time I thought that Straight Talk was ATT strictly.. til my bro in law just told me I can purchase a T mobile Sim Card and use it.
http://www.shopstraighttalk.com/bpd...cards&zip=32707&market=GSM5&locale=en&lang=EN
45$, unlimited text mins and web, no contract. Does anyone have this Straight Talk plan with a t mobile sim card?
If so, what kind of Web Speeds do they offer? Is it T mobiles Hspa 42.2 mbps 4g or what?
Also is it truly unlimited web? or do they throttle after certain GB of use?

I've been using Straight Talk with the T-Mobile compatible sim for about 4 months now and I've never been throttled. I regularly use around 6-8gb of data a month and have never had any trouble. Speeds are exactly on par with what you get on T-Mobile.
However, there are rumblings of Straight Talk throttling on the AT&T compatible sim card.

I am not a big fan of opera however if you are throttled trust me it's a life saver. Opera mini compresses your data so it not only uses less data but is much faster. When I am slowed down my data is practically worthless.
