jeffro Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 This has been discussed. They know if you do it alot. it simply counts as data. but if your doing it a ton they will send you notices to stop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Spam Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 As jeffro said, they will know. Its not really unlimited. But root the phone and put on wifi tether. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRed05 Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 I used to get free and unlimited wifi tether on my phone. On Monday I let a friend stream netflix to his laptop, about 1/3 through the movie it stops playing, we hit refresh and a T-Mobile splash page comes up saying that I need to add it to my plan. fuuuuuuuu. I have unlimited everything also, T-Mobile just started doing this recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radio Flyer1647545514 Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 On the Iphone if you pay for tethering you are limited to your 2gb of data. I know AT&T will make you drop to 2gb of data from unlimited if you get the tether feature (Yes, even if you're grandfathered in). If you jailbreak you can DL the app to tether and keep your unlimited data package. On T-Mobile I don't know how this works exactly, but I'm sure you still have a data limit on your "unlimited" plan.

CRed05 Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 On T-Mobile I don't know how this works exactly, but I'm sure you still have a data limit on your "unlimited" plan. Seems to be the case now. I just turned it on and it's working. Gone are the days of unlimited data I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87GT Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 I find it funny my verizon 4G LTE with only 1 bar uploads my porn pixtures faster then my RR Turbo connection.

CRed05 Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 Well I'm on EDGE cause I work in Failaware, where my EDGE is just as fast (sometimes faster) as coworkers' verizon 3G connection.
