(Q)Tethering on prepaid - HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity

I purchased an at&t go phone Sim card because our bill was almost 1000 dollars. Is there any way to enable tethering on the wap apn?

Holy cow, how did you manage to clock up such a massive bill?!
Anyway, if you're on a custom ROM without the tethering block, you should just be able to turn it on and go. It should work as long as you have a data connection.
If you're on ATT stock, and the tethering check is still in place, I don't think you're going to have any luck unless you actually add tethering to your line. I know GoPhone supports ATT's standard messaging packages; I don't know if they do the same data packages.

Insurance replacments, about 3 actually. Go phone doesnt support this phone at all in fact its not supposed to have data at all apparenty because lte phones are not allowed to use the go phone service because AT&T sucks. There words. I couldve done straight talk but this is only a temporary solution till i get paid friday and straight talk doesnt support lte does it? OH and i do have the 500 MB smartphone plan for 25 dollars which is a rip off to the max so taht should work in theory right?

In theory, yes. As long as the phone has a working data connection and no tethering check in place, it should let you tether, as inadvisable as tethering is on that plan.

Well, just try it. If it blocks you, then you don't really have an alternative unless you flash an alternative ROM.

10$ internet plan

So, I've read that people were able to get 3g speeds on their 10$ internet plan using epc.tmobile.com . I have the web2go/phonefirst plan, internet2.voicestream.com works but it is only edge speed. When I try epc.tmobile.com, it says that I need to upgrade my subscription. Anyone know how to get the epc.tmobile.com to work?
No, that loophole was was filled awhile ago.
I guess it only works with the 5.99 tzones then? I am 100% sure on that...
im using internet2.voicestream.com and i have working MMS and FULL 3G connection with 3G speeds.
What is your download speed using speedtest.net app in kB/s? And also, how did you get your mms to work? I need help on that :\
Im on the $5 tzones plan.. Have been since nexus one launch... Works fie using epc.tmobile.com, im getting 2-3mbps downloads in most places. Also im not sure if they monitor bandwidth but use pandora A LOT and also tether
i am having issues with mms though. but i think it might be a problem with my rom cause it worked fine with vanilla 2.1
ok I have a question..... if Warez is illegal here and gets threads deleted and locked, how is screwing the phone company over ok?
basically your stealing
my t-zones still works since release day

its not really screwing them over... fact of the matter is when the plans like tzones were offered, those were the internet plans of the time so anyone who has them has just had them grandfathered through with contract extensions and such... i payed for unlimited data then and i am paying for it now...

Paying less money for unlimited data is one of the many perks of being loyal to a company for as long as those grandfathered customers have, without giving in to the temptation of other carriers with more features and more capable phones. Besides, contract free, the data plan on T-Mobile breaks down to $10 for smartphones anyway.
YOU'RE stealing!
T-Zones works for me.
Tmobile knows I have a unlocked Nexus and they know my plan.
Everything works.

Im in bham al. And only, yet consiently, get 400k up and downstream.
Ive got the 10.99 internet plan on my girlfriends POS samsung behold 2. It gets the same speed on the same AP.

if you are taking about the thirty dollar unlimited plan (that, no longer exists unless you were grandfathered in, I'm assuming you were) FOR PHONES..., I wouldn't think so. I would think you would need a broadband data plan... But try putting your sim in. it might work and then you might, also get an email from AT&T that you, need the correct plan.... I could be wrong, wouldn't be the first time....

How to get Unlimited Data on AT&T

I'm just transferring this thread from the Atrix forum for those that would be interested in getting onto (or back onto) AT&T's unlimited data plan rather than the tiered plans they offer.
It requires an IPhone 2G in order to do it and a sim card that has not been previously registered on an IPhone.
It does work, I did it on my own lines with ease.

I have a friend that does that...you send him $$ and your login info..he sends you back a sim with unlimited data
AT&T's policies do allow anyone with an unlimited plan to keep their unlimited data when moving to a different smartphone, so if any rep says otherwise, then tell them to look it up in their reference material, called myCSP......just a little inside info
Can't find a iPhone 2g locally to save my life. Anyone know who offers this service

Just throwing this out there, starting this month they will be throttling data speeds if you go over 2GB on the unlimited data plans. You can go over but it will be sloooow.

Hey, I was just wondering, does it have to be an unactivated sim card that's never been used on a 2g.. or does it just have to be a sim card that hasn't been
used on a 2g phone..
and i have an old 2g phone, it lights up but you can't really go into anything on it.. basically a black screen just lit up.. it's recognized in itunes too..

since at&t counts data in bytes,
it would make sense that your speed would lower after 20001 bytes, right?

I have no idea but are you still tethering? Like as in are you still tethering hours later? If so, you might want to watch how much you're tethering. If you push it too far, AT&T can find out and put you on a tethering plan.
Right now I'm on Sprint and would like to move over to AT&T but like most of you want unlimited data. If I switch I will get 3 lines (family plan) 2 iphone 4s's for my two sisters and 1 Samsung Skyrocket for me. Anyone know if its possible for us to get unlimited data?

Question regarding the new "Unlimited" plan

I was a little excited to hear about the introduction of the new "Unlimited" data plan starting tomorrow. However, upon further perusion, I've discovered a screenshot and confirmed it with both of my local T-Mo store managers. This plan cannot be combined with hotspot/tethering option.
So my question is this: Will there be a workaround for this? Or do I have to stick with my current plan? I hit the 10gb cap within 2 weeks, because in this rural area, I use my phone as my general internet. :\

i'm tethering it right now and i'm on the new truly unlimited data plan. I had to set it to samsung gs2 as that was the closest related phone on the list that worked. generic ics or auto didn't work. i had to install the apk and re install it for it to work. then it took some playing with to get it to connect, but it works now. you can get it here.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1850972 just a heads up though. I wouldn't go crazy with your internet. any indication that you are tethering and tmobile could do a number of things. read the fine print as this would be a violation of your contract.

unfortunately...
my phone is rooted with the stock rom and although tethering and wifi do work.....it's blocked by tmobile. you can get away with wifi tethering for a few minutes, then you'll get a text from tmobile with a link to "upgrade" to a plan that allows this feature. I've tried both usb tethering and wifi tethering which end in the same result

[Q] So whats the deal with roam only?

How does it work? Would I b connecting to a 4g network if availiable? Will I get charged more?
The main people who use roam only are those who have better Verizon than Sprint coverage. They flash a corporate prl and get full Verizon coverage. I don't believe you'll get lte with roam only on.

You will need your msl to change your prl though. Just goto sprints website and use the support chat applet and ask for you msl. If they wont give it to you just close the chat and redo it till one gives it to you. Then when you have your msl upload the prl of your choosing to your phone, goto the dialer and do ##778# and click edit mode, enter your six digit msl number. Go down to PRL and click update prl and browse to where you saved the prl on your phone, save, commit modifications then it will reboot.
Note that Sprint only allows upto 300mb of roaming data before they can do something about it. Not saying they will but they may call you if you use a lot of data roaming in a couple months and say they are gonna let you out of your contract with no early termination fee. Supposedly they will contact you sooner then later if you use a lot of voice minutes roaming, sooner then say using a lot of data. A lot of people do a ton of data roaming on purpose just to get out of their contracts free and clear

your roaming on voice, the lte is coming from sprint. No sprint devices can "roam" on any other carriers lte network as the radios are not made for that. Its like trying to pick up a radio station when your tuned in to say 106.3 but your wanting to pick up 94.7 while on 106.3 its just not going to happen
So it appears we can no longer use RC on multiple devices with the same activation code.
They are offering RC for $1.00 for a short time so jump on it
I have it installed on my HTC Evo LTE and my HTC One

Hi all,
Although I've rooted and ROM numerous phones in the past, I'd prefer a solution I can help others with without doing the root/ROM dance. ##778# doesn't do anything on my Sprint HTC One. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
