So few weeks ago I got my little precious HTC Amaze 4G and the 5GB data plan from T-Mobile. I tired today to check the tethering feature. 5GB is too much for just browsing ghay pron at n00bfest and I could use 2-3 GBs to lighten AT&T 150GB cap (another retarded company). Got phone connected to PC, got tethering working, got the connection, fired up the browser and... instead of bunch of black C*CK I saw T-Mobile upsell page for the tethering plan for only $14.99. The F*CK is wrong with them?!? They are asking me to pay additional fee so I can use phone I bought and the data transfer I'm already paying for?!? I found this: http://technologizer.com/2011/05/02/fre ... -t-mobile/ And back to the topic: is there any way to bypass that retarded T-Mobile limitation (except paying $14.99)? It's like buying a car, paying for the gas, and suddenly dealer asks you for additional fee so you can carry your groceries in the the trunk. The F*CK!? |

I used to work for ATT so I dont know if it works for T-Mobile phones. It requires you to root your phone and download a 3rd party tethering app. It may have changed since I did it last but there are still apps you can find if you google tethering apps. It also depends if there is a root for your phone available yet. |

If your phone is rooted you can do it, or at least try. Verizon got smart about it and as of now rooted tethering (3rd party hot-spot) apps no longer work. Could work for T-mobile. Is it an Android phone I'm hoping/guessing? |

Thanks guys. Yeap, it's Android, but I'm afraid of rooting it as I complete n00b with that. Will check the web and see what I can do. EDIT: http://www.mobile-stream.com/easytether/android.html - no rooting required, free and works (so far). Enjoy! T-Mobile can kiss my ass now. |
