Or get an app for that. There are apps that circumvent the Verizon hotspot plan.

I use droid. However, I would assume there is an equivalent option for an iphone, assuming you jailbreak it.

Yeah, they exist. But service providers are smart enough to know when you're doing it unauthorized. I've had many friends try that, only to have their provider send them a message saying "Your data usage shows that you're tethering. Pay for tethering, or we're going to cancel your plan."

You can get away with it for a while if you use it very sparingly. But if you expect to tether all the time and not get caught, you're in for a rude awakening...

EDIT: Plus, most free tethering apps require jailbreak. If your iPhone isn't jailbroken, it's a pain in the ass process: http://au.ibtimes.com/articles/48837...m#.U0Qaea1dVig

Verizon had to settle with the FCC for trying to bar such applications and usage. Tethering is allowable without paying Verizon the monthly service charge. The $20/month is just Verizon preying on people's lack of understanding.

Well I'll be damned. Thanks for the link.

Why then, would Verizon tell him that he can't use the native hotspot feature on his current Verizon plan? With the info in your link, how could they deny him that feature?

Maybe I'm wrong but if he has a grandfathered in plan with unlimited data hotspots still aren't allowed without paying the fee. If you have the newer tiered plans its free.

It's a new plan. I had an unlimited data plan and they gave me a special deal going where I could get a 6 Gb plan for basically the price of 4. Sounds like I got hosed. Some more.

If you're deciding on which brand of tablet, go with the Samsung. I have one of the original 10.1 Galaxy models (3 or 4 years old) and its still going strong. My two young children have been using it for the past couple years, and its held up to everything they've done to it.

did it happen prior to the 2012 ruling or after? and do they have a grandfathered unlimited plan?
