Free tethering through tmo

Hey guys,
Forgot to post this on the 25 of jan. But if you call tmo and have a 5gig or more data plan, they will give you tethering as an option for free. I just activated mine. They wont tell you so you have to specifically ask but they wont complain about it. Just call and they activate the feature! Let me know how it goes. Btw still active on feb 1 and i dont know how long it will last

this has been talked about already, but most of us couldn't get this feature added onto our 5gb android preferred plan. i just called tmo cs again, but was turned down pretty quickly.

Ditto...tried about 5 times....will try once more tonight before giving up

It is true but, if youre paying $20 for 5gb already youre really just adding mobile hotspot to the line for an extra $10.. But since one of my lines has $30 for 5gb it was an easy switch with no extra charge. Just my other line but atleast i can tether now without using my data limit
Its called 5gb Unlimited Data with Mobile Hotspot

Thats weird. I called in and used the automated system, kept saying plans and services, and it told me to type the number so i hit the one for plans and something else. then i just hit 0 and the operator just said okay and activated it on 3 of my lines without another word

regular customer service and I have the 500 min plan and 5gb prior to adding it. Had no issues at all adding it. Just asked and got it.

I use wifi hotspot all of the time. I have never had to pay for it.. or is this something else?

The last part being $30 is what shows now after the switch. So they may have switch you guys right away without explaining since you called for that feature and seemed like you knew about it. But it is $30

that's what i was told on the few times i've called csr, so the others that got the feature added-i'd suggest checking your current plan and features.

Are you rooted?if so then its free.
From a galaxy better than yours.

To clarify this thread T-Mobile is offering for a limited time 30 dollar 5gb plans with tethering included as well as 10gb plans with tethering included but can't remember if the 10gb was 50 or 60. You can't add tethering to your plan you currently have you have to change to this promotional plan so anybody with a 20 dollar plan your wasting your time if you think that you can get free tethering added to your current plan. Also the feature includes there premium album service too that you usually pay extra for at no charge.

And also yes you can still tether for "free" if rooted by freezing tethering manager but it counts towards your data limit but with this it does not.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk

Still worth it to get the plan the more people figure out how to tether without paying for it then T-Mobile will find different ways to block it. Before you know it they will pull what at&t does and forces it on your plan if they find out your tethering.

So I got my Wifi calling on my GS3 since it was free in case I need more then 500 minutes, anyways I think is a second behind sort of like HTC one s was before the update, does anyone else have that? My Wifi speeds varies from 10-25mbps so I don't think is my connection

This is correct, as long as you have the feature enabled it most definitely does not use your minutes. It should be a free feature for every post paid plan that isn't a grandfathered plan.

It doesn't use your minutes if you have the "Free Wifi Calling" feature added to your plan. I had them add this last year when I heard about it in the first place, though the rep called it "Wifi-preferred calling", and can confirm after 13 months that indeed with that feature your WiFi calls do NOT count against your anytime minutes.
OP: Mine doesn't lag at all and our internet is only about 12mbps down/ 4mbps up
maybe need to restart your router/modem?

I'm on the monthly 4G plan and I talked to a representative and she said wifi calling does use minutes and it only serves to make the connection quality better.
If so where is the option to add the free wifi calling option you said that does not use minutes. I only have a 100 minutes so if that's possible that would be awesome.

You have to be on a high enough plan to get the feature, I think Value and Classic plans both are eligible but here is an old thread on the TMO support forum about it:
http://support.t-mobile.com/message/135370
and yes it works great outside the country - I used it on my G2X last August in Japan. Little bit of lag calling back home but what do you expect being on the other side of the planet?

Unlimited wifi calling for prepaid $30 plan?

Can the $30 monthly plan include the unlimited wifi calling that won't deduct your allotted 100 minutes? I currently have the value 500 min plan and was able to add it online. Again this isn't the already included wifi calling feature that takes away from your minutes. Below is what I added to my current plan.

You can use WiFi calling however it DOES just your minutes. Best bet would be downloading a voip application such as Skype, talkatone,or groove ip. My experience is that some roms for what ever reason doesn't work with voip very well. This is why I signed up for the value plan on T mobile

Thanks for the reply guys. There's 2 different wifi calling it looks like. One will deduct from your minutes but the other is the unlimited wifi minutes that includes free wifi calling to U.S. if you're out of the country which doesn't deduct from your minutes. Its the latter I'm inquiring about.

Ultimately, with the $30 prepaid plan, there is no way to get "free" minutes whether it's TMo-to-TMo, WiFi Calling, Nights & Weekends, or anything like that. Your best bet to get ~$30 lines with a decent number of minutes is to have a family value plan. They require contracts and do not have subsidized phones, but you can get 5 lines w/ 1k minutes shared, unlimited SMS, 2GB data for ~$25/line. A few examples with the Value plans (all w/ unlimited SMS, nights & weekends, tmo-to-tmo, and wifi calling):
1) 5x lines w/ 1k minutes, 2GB data: ~$25/line
2) 5x lines w/ unlimited minutes, 2GB data: ~$29/line
3) 5x lines w/ 1k minutes, unlimited data: ~$35/line
4) 5x lines w/ 1k minutes, 2x unlimited data and 3x 2GB data: ~$29/line <-- (this is what my family does)
5) 5x lines w/ unlimited minutes, unlimited data: ~$39/line
The trick with the Value plans is that you really need to need as many lines (up to 5) as possible for it to be so cheap. The way the plans are, 2 lines cost about the same as 5 lines. So if you only wanted 2 lines instead of 5, then those 5 scenarios would then be MUCH more expensive on a per-line basis.

Possible bypass of AT&T unlimited data cap

So I hit my 5gig unlimited data cap pretty early on this month, at which point att throttles you to an awful 1up/1down speed.
The other day my phone stepped down from LTE to HSPA/HSPA+,and I was hitting speeds of 7down/1up.
I know its currently not possible to control the mobile data connection, but if we are ever able to do it you could continue to get bearable data speeds by just stepping down from LTE.
I have since rebooted my phone and its back on LTE

Right now I'm at 7 gigs and I don't have a noticeable reduction in speed. The speed sucks down here already though, so that's not saying much. I've been watching tons of tv on netflix because my Dsl connection is completely down since the storm Isaac effed my phone lines up.
My billing cycle starts on the 2nd, so I should be okay.

U get 5gb on 4gLTE and 3gb on 4g. All you have to do is change the APN settings if you want to switch from one to the other.

I can attest to this solution. My data is at 5.5 gigs and I noticed it was slow on download. I switched the APN out to just 4g no LTE and the speed greatly increased. Thanks very much.

If im reading this right, are you guys saying that if I hot the 5gb limit on LTE and they throttle me that I can just step down to 4g and it wont be throttled?

I might be wrong but the data throttling is only for the top so much percent and has nothing to do with the package you paid for. If you go over you simply pay more.

Not sure this is accurate. I think the plan itself is LTE if you have an LTE capable phone regardless of what you have in your area. So it should be 5 GB for the S3.

Ya, the text message I got was that I'd be throttled @ 5gigs. Nothing about top whatever %, just straight 5 gigs.

I don't get throttled when I go over 5gb, I just pay 10$ per gb over. Rounded up of course. My understanding was only unlimited plans got throttled? Am I wrong?

Thanks for the heads up, my plan ended tomorrow. Funny thing is that I had upgraded to the $60 plan yesterday and still had the opportunity to upgrade today to this new $70 plan, just in time.
Had to call to get it though, could not do it online.

It would seem that all of us already on this plan, we've been upgraded. My data counter stopped showing usage, I pushed it up to 5GB to test it (Don't ask me how LOL).... Sure enough no throttle.
It still shows the old plan though under my account. The lady at T-Mobile told me that they haven't modified all the accounts yet via online. Only through their system. =]

Just curious, can you downgrade to a prepaid plan if you're on the value plan?

this is the T-mobile monthly 4G plan... If you have a phone that you have paid for already and are not under a contract, simply call T-mobile Customer loyalty and let them know you wanna get the unlimited Monthly4G plan (prepaid)

I have a 2GB plan and planning to switch to Unlimited $30. But I know that plan doesnt support hotspot. Is there other way to activate hotspot once I upgrade to that "real" unlimited plan?

just follow the bottom part of 1st post where it says "Installation (Enabling Wifi Tether)......".. i got mine works with OK speed. using FoxVi apps with wifi or BT connection, i only get 1.x MB down. not bad if you are on the road though..

I went way over 5GB. It didn't slow down at all for me. I was still showing in the system as having the 5GB plan though. The lady in the store told me that they must have just updated everyone in their system but it won't show on ours yet.
Unless they only updated people in certain areas and are doing it in droves. Then perhaps your area won't get that update until that particular date. Wish I could have more information but I'm not a T-Mobile insider.

On the regular plan they have this:
Unlimited Nationwide 4G
Unlimited 4G data on T-Mobile network for accessing the web, streaming music and HD video, and downloading cool apps—as much as you want. No limits and no overages.
Unleash the power of your smartphone with unlimited 4G data and experience T-Mobile 4G without limits. If you want to access the web, stream music and HD video, and download cool apps and games as much as you want, you\'ll want unlimited 4G data. There are no limits, no overages, no worries—you never have to keep track of how much data you use. Not compatible with Smartphone Mobile HotSpot service. Data unlimited while on our 4G network.
$30.00 Per month
So my questions are - is this actually unlimited UNLIMITED? And is this for real 4G as in LTE or is this for 4G(3.5G really) HSPA?
Does anyone know?
Thanks
