Guys , what i meant to say, this unlocks your hotspot, and do not have to pay for it seperately, Now if you dont have unlimited data, then yes it will count towards your data use. sorry for confusion. found this on xda forums long ago. I used it for over a year and never been charged for a hot spot.

:D

sounds to me like this is violating the TOS, anyone confirm it?

Not if you are on the new shared data plan.

Even with unlimited data your contract probably says you need to pay an extra $30/month for tethering.

Yup.
Correct.
Yup. I believe it says you are able to use the data for your phone only or something like that. Basically the same thing. Probably worded slightly differently depending on when you signed.

hey dose this work if you have the 2 gig plan too? will i not have to pay even though when i open the app it says you should have the 'hotspot' plan


If you're on a shared plan (one of the new ones) then tethering is included and you should contact Verizon. If you're on an old 2gb plan, then you aren't supposed to have tethering included and you can't just click on the button and have it work.
