jeffro Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 Before i spend $10/month to activate verizon hotspot on my S4, are there any free options that are decent and actually work? I know at one point they put a lock down on that shit, but things change. These are business lines so root access needs to be avoided. I used to use foxfi(one time fee of $4.99), which doesn't require root access, but has gotten sketchy recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How has foxfi gotten sketchy It wants me to connect to some VPN when i activate it then i get some message saying my network is being monitored. With confidential information on the line, cant be any of having that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmrmnhrm Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 Dunno if it's still around, but I used PDA Net back when I needed a tether (which, honestly, turned out to be almost never, and was so bog slow on 3G that it was almost not worth the effort) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC K9 Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 Easytether has worked for me for years, but it seems to be funky lately depending on what computer I hook it to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moe7 Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 I've been using FoxFi for a few years now without issue; currently use it daily for 6-8 hours at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractor Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 You still have a contract that doesn't allow hot spotting without paying extra? I thought Verizon stopped that years ago I've been doing it free for years on Verizon. These days data is data. I do it on an S4 and S5 right now.
