You don't need an app. It's a setting. In JB 4.1 it's in menu>settings>more (under networks)>tethering
If you look at the picture it is a wireless connection.
Right the phone just needs to be unlocked

If it is a carrier locked phone they can tell but if it is an unlocked/rooted/custom rom they can't tell
Then, I could technically go without home internet, correct?
So... with this tethering out of the box, if I go with a tMo plan that offers the "truly" unlimited data...
500talk, unlimited text and data for $60/value if I buy n4 from PlayStore

500talk, unlimited text and data for $70/individual if I buy n4 from tMo
Then, I could technically go without home internet, correct?
Does anyone else do this? If so, how is it? I surf the web, watch Netflix, Hulu, DirecTV Sunday Ticket, listen to Pandora/Spotify... that's really about the jist of it.
FYI: I live in the LA area so I should be getting HSPA+42 speeds.
I actually bought a SIM card to go $30/prepaid, but having only 100minutes and 5gb of usable data speed plus paying Charter for internet seems like a lesser deal than the above idea...
