    PocketNow reviews the ZTE ZMAX Pro

    Root ZTE ZMAX Pro (Z981) tethering discussion

    I KNOW this is off-topic but it still relates to the ZMAX Pro... Has anyone been able to bypass the phone's hotspot detection? I have the 60 dollar plan at Metro and the FoxFi app doesn't work since ZTE uses their own black magic in that little USB C port. Anyone had any success using hotspot...
