If you're on an unlimited data with caps, then hotspot is possible without any extra charges or plan changes.
If you're on the truly unlimited 4g data plan without caps, then you will have to pay for hotspot services, which is 14.99 a month extra. You will have separate mbs for this.

I'm on the unlimited 4G, no cap, no tethering included plan, and tethering to my tablet for streaming on a daily basis.
HTC One
i was also confused with their plan, of course getting HTC one i opted the unlimited plan $50 talk/text $20 data plan unlimited. but they are saying you can only use the hotspot feature up to 500mb only and after that you'll get throttled.
so i tried yesterday tethered my ipad mini and watch netflix. i wasted like 2gb and no sign of throttling.
anyway, if i got throttled with the mobile hotspot. i can always use wifi tether and use it from there. so far so good with the mobile hotspot built-in
Hey guys,
Im on the unlimited no caps 4g plan too but for some reason I can't tether with my mac or any device.... I even tried changing my user agent strings in my browsers to no avail...always getting directed to the tmobile hotspot page...
Any help is greatly appreciated!

We can keep our Truly no caps 4g and add unlimited hotspot for 14.99?! I didn't get this option when I called in...
Aparently it seems like the truly 4g is a "grandfathered" plan already...

I just changed my simple choice 20 4.5 gig data to a 20 dollar unlimited two days ago. I will try mobile hotspot soon, to see if it goes over the 500mb without a instant message from them lol.

When T-mobile first did their unlimited plan, tethering was not included. It was only included on the 2BG and 5GB option.
However, recently they added the tethering option to the unlimited plan. If you had the new unlimited plan when it first went live (like me) you will need to have T-mobile change it to the new unlimited to include tethering. (500MB of data cap applies to the tethering.)
The only reason I know this is I kept a 2GB plan for the tethering, but when buying my HTC ONE I saw they changed the plans again.

Huh?
Anyways, the so-called 4g does make a dramatic difference even with the Vibrant. Where I live, I went from around 1mbps down to 3-5mbps down (speed based on speedtest.net app). My ripoff p.o.s. ISP limits my speed to only 3mbps because I don't pay an extra 15-30 dollars a month. Recently I was downloading a large file, and out of curiosity I switched in the middle of downloading from my local ISP to tethering my phone via wifi. The download speed was around 1.66 times faster, peaking at speeds almost twice as fast. In other words, the speedtest.net results, which suggest hspa+ on my Vibrant is significantly faster than my 3mbps ISP, were validated.
Secondly, data plans cost the same regardless if you have access to hspa+ or not.

I think the $10 text plan is only applicable for those who also have the unlimited android plan. I asked my t-mobile dealer about my text plan (after my added an unlimited android plan) and he reduced my monthly text rate (unlimited at $15 to $10).
I'm not 100% sure though

Dude seriously? Did you try rebooting your phone? You don't need to upgrade to any plan to continue using 3g. There's no such thing as a "4g plan" that makes your vibrants data speeds any faster. The dude's posting here are blowing smoke up your ass. My vibrant is using the $24 grandfathered plan (4G didnt exist then) and I've been hitting 5Mb's down and 1.5 up. You will see increased data speeds if your local network has been upgraded but that's it. If you lost 3G signal is could be because of weather or service issues in your area or your phone just needs to be restarted. Call t-mo back and switch back to your previous plan if it worked better for you financially. Once again, you will not see a speed boost from any plans that t-mo offers.

Still not getting folks being so high up with LTE considering most people that inhabit these boards will use the alloted data in the first few days of the month
3G seems fine for me and streaming higher band video content is a battery hog anyway. Speed is nice but IMO, a $30 3G unlimited data plan seems a far more pratical option for most people.
Allotted data? What are you talking about? Correct me if i'm wrong but you are merely assuming that Verizon won't have an unlimited 4G data plan for smartphones. I have seen no information suggesting that there will be no unlimited plan available.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I hear that Verizon has plans to initially have unlimited LTE data plans for smartphones but they might change that in the future. I'm sure that Verizon's will throttle people's data if they reach 5 gb... Personally, I don't see why they don't simply charge extra for for LTE to allow it to be unlimited like Sprint does. I wouldn't mind paying 10 extra dollars a month for unlimited data from Verizon... I think that the problem with carriers is that they don't want people hogging their airwaves with their PS3, their laptop, and their little brother's iPod Touch tethered to the phone on their network with the "that's what your cable/dsl network is for" attitude. If they truly feel that way, they should start charging cable/dsl prices and remove the caps while using some of the money to build more towers so they won't have to worry about it. They have devices that they're getting ready to release that are capable of playing/streaming 1080p HD videos. I'd be pissed if I bought one of these smartphone//tablets and were only able two watch two or three videos the entire month. If they're gonna have devices that require a lot of bandwidth to reasonably perform to one's liking, the shouldn't release these devices until their networks are able to handle them being in the hands of the masses. It makes no sense to pay 40-50 dollars for internet at 4G speeds while paying 250-600+ for a device and have to go to find a hotspot to connect to wifi or connect to wifi at home.

3G unlimited for $30 and LTE for $50 seems fare. That way, they get the revenue for folks using the service to update towers. I would say $40, but probably no way VZW would charge that for LTE.
If Verizon has unlimited LTE data for HTC Thunderbolt, they would get a lot of people to buy it. The question is would they get enough revenue to continue to keep it unlimited while upgrading their towers... It would be understandable if they put a 5 gb cap on the mobile hotspot feature because they wouldn't be able to sell their USB modems (which they charge mb and gb packages). But to not have unlimited LTE data from Verizon for a smartphone save the mobile hotspot feature is ridiculous imo. AT&T's LTE plans for the future include limited data and data speed to be purchased in tiers; Verizon can really keep them at bay with unlimited LTE data for strictly smartphones. The question is will Verizon compete directly with AT&T's LTE plans (match AT&T's plans). They reality is that they don't have to. They can make a more attractive unlimited LTE data plan and net more customers and "defectors" from AT&T while making them look like greedy money-hungry cornballs.

Good one, I want the Thunderbolt for the device and not so much for the LTE. That said, yes I can sit here at the office and run our LTE USB and get 20 - 25 mbps and run up 5 gigs in short fashion then really start paying out the wazoo, but RevA EVDO at 2 mbps I can do just fine watching HULU or teathering Skype with video or whatever which is fast enough. I might give a few bucks more for the LTE if it is unlimited, but never buy myself into a plan that caps my data and makes me pay more just to get a speed boost that I just do not need now.
If 3g would actually give me the speed its supposed to I wouldn't need 4g at all. I rarely get over 200kbps down on att's hspa network.
That would be dumb for them to charge same price as current data. How do they justify the 4G investment? that would be one red looking net present value business case
My guess is $45 (30 +15 premium).
Lets not forget Verizon is about to rake in tons of new subscribers while barely spending a dime in advertising (i*hone)

From the new BestBuy leak there will be a $30 unlimited option on thunderbolt. Which would make me get it over the iphone. $30 for 4g would be amazing.
Ive played with the thunderbolt and honestly you will only notice the 4g when downloading.On web pages not so much.
I've currently got an Epic 4g on Sprint, and with a custom ROM I've been able to use the hotspot feature without actually having the subscription cost on my plan and it hasn't been a big deal.
I'm looking at moving to a Note, and was wondering whether AT&T is going to be able to catch on and give me grief for using the hotspot feature once in a blue moon (literally) if I root the device to get around having to pay an extra $20/mo? I know the extra also goes towards data cap increase, but I rarely use more than 400Mb of cell data so the cap increase is way overkill for me.
Maybe or maybe not,nowdays they are pretty strict about tethering, I got caught after consuming 10GB tethered and thretaned me to downgrade to a tethering plan if I wouldnt desist... Back in the day I would consume like 6-8GB tethered on my iPhone 4 and nothing would happen

You could always go with Straight Talk for the $50 all you can eat plan.
Since most of us who use this forum are aware of AT&T's draconian policies regarding tethering, especially the one whereby they bump you from unlimited to crappy tethering plan policy, I'm going to ask those of us who are successfully tethering their Atrix with an unlimited data plan to help correct some information.
Basically AT&T is changing their plans, and with 3gb HSPA and 5gb LTE throttling the reality for us unlimited data plan users, I and others would like to know what this has wrought for our tethering capabilities.
Previously AT&T was monitoring our accounts to see if we were tethering, seeing if our phones were using ports and protocols for checking windows update for example(used to determine that your phone is tethered to a PC), or user agent strings, or other means of packet inspection. They were hitting people with the 45$ tethering plan left and right 12 months ago, but now, Verizon has just gotten the smackdown on their charge-for-tether practices, and I recall hearing that AT&T doesn't care about tethering anymore because they are putting most people on the unified data package where a whole set of devices use one pool of allotted bandwidth. Which would mean AT&T can ream those people with encouraged tethering.
But that leaves those of us with an unlimited plan......uninformed. Are they still doing the plan bump if they detect an unlimited user tethering? Furthermore, can they even detect the kind of tethering I've tried before, namely Atrix CM7 connected to HP touchpad CM9, I think built in tethering app. Can't they tell from the amount of hops, its one further on the Time to live?
Or do I have to use PDANET for the encryption?
Surely there must be someone out there using their unlimited with tethering who can chime in, maybe you can say what rom and tether app/built in your using/technique.
And if it's safe, this would make my job so much easier to tether with my laptop. And since that work is volunteer search and rescue flying, this could be invaluable information for me and my team.
Thanks, TL ; DR, AT&T sucks. But they have a fat data pipe and large network...
Grandfathered unlimited plan here. I'm running neutrino and tether to my iPad mostly and some pc tethering I used about 2 gigs in 3 days and so far so good. No scary text or anything.
Of course ymmv but that's been my experience with tethering so far.
Btw located in more rural southeast
Interesting
Thanks for the reply, I've tethered roughly 3-4 gb using netflix and some web browsing from Atrix to Touchpad, but that was last Thanksgiving, so I'm sure AT&T's network has changed since then. I guess I'll start off with trying to push 3gb+ using netflix on the touchpad, followed by browsing on the touchpad to see if any warning bells go off at AT&T. Because frankly having freedom to tether is a joy, I used to use my HTC Touch Pro to tether like mad on AT&T going through 5gb with a laptop easily. But that was 2.5 years ago
Anyone else get slammed?
I thought they just throttled you after you used more than 3gb+. Are they guys not getting throttled anymore?

Works fine on my One with stock TMO ROM.
It depends on your plan. The new standard (500 mb), 2Gb, and 4Gb include tethering (mobile hotspot). The new unlimited plan never includes tethering. On the older classic plans it was a separate option for most people.
Is T-Mobile hotspot included in your plan?
First unlock and root.
Second, flash a kernel if you want to stay stock (which I prefer). I recommend this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2255900
or
Flash a custom rom
Finally, install this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.googlecode.android.wifi.tether
Change device-profile to "Generic ICS/JB (wlan0).
That's it! You should be good to go.

To actually get tethering with the unlimited data they told me you have to be on the "simple choice" plans, which for me would be around an extra $40 a month. So yeah, I'll keep my old 1000 minute value plan and $5 extra lines.
The default apn has some sort of hidden alternative route for the stock tethering. I don't know a lot about apns, but you can just create another apn called Tethering that has the same info as the default apn (fast.tmobile.com and the mmsc server are the only things you actually need to enter) and use that, at least on international ROMs. The stock ROM may have some additional links back to pcweb as well; in the past I know this has been in the csc xml and stuff too.

They need to put the right feature on your plan. At launch there was an unlim plan with a 500MB separate add on feature. As of a few days ago T-Mobile bundled them together to prevent further confusion. If yours doesn't work double check your plan.
You can actually now add more tethering to your unlimited 4g plan than the 500mb. It is $10 per 2gb. So for extra $10 you have 2.5gb of tethering. $20 you have 4.5gb and so on all the way up to 12.5gb max

I had the same problem. Went from a Gnex working perfectly to the One and everything is being blocked. I'm on the $70 unlimited prepaid plan and they won't even let me pay for tethering. Currently using a USB tether app called Klink (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.faveset.klink_blue). It's the only app I found that I could get working. Of course, once I decide to root and go with a custom ROM, wifi tethering will be a breeze again.

Here is an interesting question, I have an old-school T-Mobile Android Unlimited Web+Unlimited Messages ($34.00/mo) data plan grandfathered in from way back when I had my G1. From what I gather, it's a 5GB soft cap. Tethering has always worked perfectly both on stock (vanilla) phones. I'm seriously thinking of pulling the trigger and getting a One. If I keep my data plan, will I still get tethering ("unlimited"), or will I get the standard 500mb? If I upgrade to the 6GB-8GB Highspeed Data plan, what do I get for tethering? BTW: I'm not on a Pre-Paid plan.
