No, I know it is not free through AT&T. I happen to have the "data pro 5GB data plan" with hotspot included. I am not sure what other plans with AT&T might offer it, or if you can purchase it individually, but if you call 611 on your AT&T phone, they will let you know which plans it is available with.

i have the old unlimited plan, so its now 5gb then they throttle me, but if i use the portable hot spot i think it boots me off that plan and automatically puts me on the pro 5gb plan instead
i knew that, but i just thought it was odd that there was no monthly price next 2 it, i will be rootin my phone anyway, but thank u for the info

True you don't need root at all to use it but sometimes it makes it easier with root access
