Free mobile hotspot through May 15, 2011

I just spotted on the Verizon website that 4G Mobile Hotspot is free with the Thunderbolt through May 15, 2011. Support for up to 5 simultaneous connections.

The Amazon Wireless sales page is also showing the promotion.

I have found a way to get it for free after the month or for any other phones not just Thunderbolt!! You simply go into
settings>wireless and networks>Mobile Networks>Acess Point Names
then press menu>Add new APN
Fill information out as the following (Case Sensitive)

Name: Wi-Fi

APN: wap.cingular

Proxy: wireless.cingular.com

Port: 80

Uname: WAP@CINGULAR.COM

Pw:CINGULAR1

MMS Protocol: WAP 2.0

MCC: 310

MNC: 410

Now when your done with that you press your menu button again and "Save" then you will go back you will see that MEdia Net has the green Dot, you need to click on "Wi-Fi" the one you just created. After that just go back to your home screen, Reset your phone and now Wifi Hotspot works for free!
*Thanks Button!*

That'll be one hellluva trick considering that the Thunderbolt is on Verizon and your info appear to reference ATT.
