Enable hotspot for free

What do you want to do? What are you talking about? Goal of the action?

Trying. Will report in a few minutes. Unrooted

Doesn't work on non rooted

I downloaded change APN but all options are greyed out and unaccessable ????

Is there an apn settting on J7 that needs to be enabled for app to work?

Well finally got j7 rooted
the app change apn does not work. All items are greyed out and cant be accessed possibly due to my plan not having hotspot
are there any other apps or ways to accsess to editn apn

still cant access apn settings...tried using shortcut master lite app which I have used on other phones but it also wont access apn settings......anyone have any ideas?

For whatever reason cant access apn with shortcut lite app or change apn app
I believe this may be actual file in system.......not much of a programer......could use some advice as to where to make edit directly if this is correct file........

I haven't been on this site for some time, and I see this post is a month old...... The person states they have Boost and it works. That's because Boost gives you free wifi tethering.
All I have to do, is turn it on......

my plan does not offed hot spot wondering if I knew where file is might be able to edit it directly

If you are on Boost and NOT on the family plan, you get free hotspot tethering. You may need to update profile for it to work. I was very happy with it until I switched to the Family plan and found out that is the ONLY plan they do not offer free tethering.
