Hello,
Is it possible to tether my gtab to a non-smart phone such as a Motorola Z9 on a 3G network? (bluetooth or wired)
If it is possible, I would like to call my carrier to see how much the tethering charges are on a non-smart phone.
My Blackberry for work is only an 8320 on GSM. I heard it is practically useless to tether on GSM. Maybe I can talk someone into upgrading me to 3G. If that is the case, can a 3G Blackberry tether a gtab?
I would prefer to tether from my own phone.
Thanks for any info.

Im traveling to Africa and about to order this phone, would lke to use it as a hotspot for my laptoop while in Africa, should I anticipate any problems? Ive bought GSM SIM cards many times with data enabled, would love to use the laptop too using same data
Has anyone got the Hotspot working on this phone on AT&T?
Please share setup details if you have this working
Is this the correct plan on AT&T for Hotspot feauture on the SGSII
Does the DataPro Personal 4GB with Tethering for Smartphones DataPro Personal Tethering plans provides users with the option to use tethering and AT&T Mobile Hotstpot. $45 includes 4GB of total data usage. $10 for an additional 1 GB overage allow HOTSPOT on AT&T phones?
im currently using 2.3.3 Stock rom...im with att...does anyone know if charges are applied for using the portable wifi and/or usb tethering features?
Tethering uses your mobile's data plan as your internet connection.
If your data plan is pay-by-usage method it'll cost you bombs.
the cost is same as browsing with phone.
i have unlimited data so hopefully att wont bomb my phone bill...lol...Thank both of you for the info
So I have a question about USB tethering before I pick up this phone. I frequently thether my current phone (HTC Touch Pro 2, WinMo 6.5) to my laptop when I don't have an available internet connection and there's no Wifi available (or they charge for it, i.e. some airports). With my current phone, I installed the WinMo tethering app that Verizon left out, and it uses my data plan (unlimited), without requiring me to pay extra for the Mobile Broadband service.
I was under the impression that I would probably have to root an Android phone to do this, but I noticed in the manual for the Rezound they mention an "Internet Connection Mode" when connecting the phone to a computer via USB to share the mobile data connection. For those with a Rezound, is this really possible by default, does it use a portion of your current data plan (unlimited in my case, thankfully), and do you have to pay extra for the Mobile Broadband plan?
Thanks!

there's an app called PDANet that does the same thing. I've been using it for nearly a year now. it works very well and is compatible with most Android phones(including this one).
Per the user guide:
Using HTC Rezound with Beats Audio as a modem
(USB tethering)
No Internet connection available for your computer? No problem. Use the
Internet connection of HTC Rezound with Beats Audio to connect to the
Internet.
You need your SIM card inserted on HTC Rezound with Beats
Audio to use the data connection.
To use HTC Rezound with Beats Audio as a modem, you need to
install HTC Sync on your computer first.
*** You must have an approved data plan to use this service.***
1. Make sure the data connection on HTC Rezound with Beats Audio
is turned on.
2. Connect HTC Rezound with Beats Audio to the computer using the
provided USB cable.
3. On the Choose a connection type screen, select Internet
Connection Mode, and then tap Done.

I saw that when browsing through the user guide. I wasn't sure if the "approved data plan" indicated you needed to pay for the Mobile Broadband service on top of the data plan, thus the question if anyone had tried it. I still plan to play with one in-store before commiting to the phone. I'll also checkou PDAnet.

I had heard of PDANet before, but hadn't used it since there was an app kinda built-in on my old WinMo phone. I downloaded and installed it and it works great. Immediately went and purchased a license for it. Thanks!

So I tried this before PDANet, and indeed, for the built-in Internet Connection sharing USB connection, you must be subscribed to VZW's Mobile Broadband/Hotspot feature. If not, it will tell you to subscribe and gives a number. Happily using PDANet now.

This is my first smartphone in the US, but using my Desire to tether on-the-sly in Japan was cake (as long as I didn't raise any flags by going over the carrier's "unlimited" data cap). Is Verizon on the ball regarding tethering on non-"hotspot" data plans? Do they bend you over if they catch you or is it just not possible without the appropriate plan to begin with?
school wifi sucks, which means i need a reliable hotspot tethering speed
Buy the T-Mobile One Plus international plan and you'll get unlimited lte hotspot

use PDANet or EasyTether Pro
T-Mobile One Plus International plan does NOT give you unlimited LTE hotspot, because after you consumer 50GB in a single billing cycle your data will be de-prioratized. You will still get LTE tethering, but the speed of it won't be fast, because the phone itself, even without tethered connection, will be slowed down until next billing cycle start. For the same reasons the suggestion of next poster to use a tethering app like PDANet or EasyTether Pro will only work for the first 50GB consumed. After that your tethered devices will get slow speeds, because the hotspot source itself will be deprioratized on T-Mobile network.
