4G on T-Mobile Galaxy Tab

As most of you may know, a T-Mobile Galaxy Tab will not allow you to insert a SIM card from a phone and use it for data, even if you already have an Android data plan on your account and on that number. Bought a new tab from a private owner, and was pissed off about that. However, I have a G2, and remembered something I had configured on my phone.
So, I found an easy way to resolve this. My G2 does 4G. Instead of putting the sim into the Galaxy Tab, I enabled the wifi hotspot feature and used that to connect the Tab to the Internet. At 4G speeds. On my unlimited data plan. For free. Saves me more than a grand/yr (assuming the $85/mo+taxes cost of the 10gb/mo plan which I don't have to pay).
Take =that= T-Mobile. Bet your greedy, beady-eyed beancounter (read "Business Prevention Officer") boys didn't think about =that= one... <chuckle>
I know this is an old thread, but I just did not want people to be discouraged from buying this awesome tablet because of misinformation.
There is an alternative solution.

[Q] Can't Tether USB or Wifi

Hey Guys;
Keep getting "Mobile data is not available or invalid sim" every time I try to turn on tethering. I have a AT&T S4 Active unlocked, I did not unlock it, it was unlocked when I purchased it from Negri electronics. Any solutions?
Thanks

Are you under AT&T or Sprint? They block tethering by default. You have to buy tethering dataplans or work this around.
There's probably a thread for this already where somebody described similar behavior. There is said that this process solved the problem but root was needed. There are also third-party apps for tethering. Since S4 Active is pretty much S4, try searching threads for S4 if this won't help or lead you to success.

Calls go straight to Voice Mail on Unbranded Samsung S6 Duos

Good day!
I currently have an unbranded Samsung S6 Duos which I bought from Samsung itself.
I bought a T-Mobile sim and I can text/call/data pretty well but sometimes when people call me it goes straight to Voice Mail.
Any one know how to fix this?
1. My phone does not have Wi-Fi Calling.
2. Voice call -> Always Forward (Set to Turned off)
My device:
Samsung S6 Duos SM-G920FD 64GB
I have a feeling its when I am connected to Wi-Fi that it tends to mix Wi-Fi and my network up. My network is currently on LTE, and I have no VoLTE
Anyone have solutions?
Up. Bring up my post.
