Has anyone else gotten a message that this will be blocked if the service isnt added???
And if anyone can explain how this is something different that can be charged for if it is a feature of the phone... Using the same unlimited data...

Not sure about that, but if you want wifi tethering, look up barnacle wifi tether in the market.

You want this.

If it keeps up, go to your apn settings and create a new one with the apn internet2.voicestream.com and you should be able to bypass the tethering message. If you keep it by default, mms will fail with that apn. You should be able to set the epc apn for mms only and the other for internet. something like that.
You can also try internet3.voicestream.com also. Speeds vary for the two apn's based on my experience.

Yes, Tmobile has an additional package you must purchase to use tethering and hotspot. 15 and 10 per month, respectively.

I've used Open Garden and never gotten a message, but you can also use USB tethering and avoid any greediness from Tmobile.
Thabks for all thw suggestions everyone. I am currently trying the open garden one.

I would only see this when using Internet explorer. Use google chrome and you shouldn't have a problem.
I used if on stock Rom and never got charged wierd...

Two tmobile phones using 5gb data/ month each for over 7 months, 4gb a month from computer using mobile AP....haven't had a warning yet. I read on another thread a long time ago that people where or where not getting notices depending on their type of data use....file sharing etc...not sure if that holds true all of the time though.

My sisters phone slows down after awile, and she uses netflix for about an hour, she gets a warning but we are no where even close to 5gb download.
I just got the T-mobile $30 5GB "unlimited"/ 100 minute prepaid voice plan.
In a short test the built in wifi hotspot feature in the stock Gingerbread Settings tab seems to work. T-mobile does not offer any add-ons for tethering on this plan.
Is it safe to use this built in feature, or should I be looking for some other app (open garden?) to do this?
nope this is what my dad uses and works great. if you have problems with it then get an alternative wifi tether.
clockworkmod tether is still in beta but I have it on my phone and it works great. google it. the software package you install on your pc installs the apk on your phone.
Me and my wife have been using the mobile AP for over a year and we just upgraded to ginger bread and now when we use it we get a message telling us we have to upgrade our plan and then next time we try to use it the Web will not work it just sends you to Tmobile. We tried downloading pda net from the market but you still can't go to sights that require passwords. It would be nice to find a way around this.

I actually got that message twice (on stock, never since running custom ROMs), but they never followed through. Of course I don't use my phones data for my laptop often, only on rare occasion and usually not for more than a few minutes.

Tmobile can kiss my rear end on this one, they certainly did NOT have a tethering plan when I purchased the phone and its rediculouse to try to charge me now for a feature that was on the phone and free for the longest time now
cwm tether hides the fact that you are using a tether from tmobile

As does PDANet, I've been using that since my Treo 650 and the paid version is worth every penny.

Finally got my phone working pretty good now just for the little bits
What app are people using to tether undetected I'm fully rooted
I have straight talk and they don't allow tethering I remember when I had a Samsung Moment a long few years ago I was able to tether that was undetectable
just wondering if there's any new ones out there that are used for this purpose

Hi, I've got a rooted sgs3 on the three network with unlimited data but no tethering plan.
However I can tether it to my tablet with no problems but not my laptop as it somehow gets detected by three and I have to restart my phone to get my data connection back.
I've tried using third party apps as well as both wireless and usb tethering but none of them work.
Could someone please help me with this problem. Thanks in advance.

Try This To Teather

I'm an unlimited user running 4.1.2 rooted (stock rom) on my s3 i535. I can use native wifi tether with no problem but USB tether gives me vzw subscription message.
I've poked around google, and motorola users seem to have gotten around this by adjusting 'entitlement_check' in their settings.db, which of course, I can't find in mine using SQLite.
Does anyone know what/where the db entry for usb tethering is for the verizon s3? Is there a custom rom that will unlock it for me?
And for people wondering why i would want USB tether even though I already have wifi tether working, is because my new router (asus n66u) allows for sharing my data connection via usb tether.
bumpy bump
Good question. Rebump.
Bump
I have recently purchased the Asus AC66R and would like to know this as well.
There are plenty of 3rd party apps available that support wired tethering, pdanet worked great for me before I rooted for usb tethering.

I bet some of those third party apps work just fine for vzw users who aren't grandfathered in on their unlimited plan, but using the ones i've gotten from the play store, i get the vzw 'please subscribe to tethering plan' message.
and the other apps that want you to install software on your PC to enable tethering to that PC probably work as well (this is what i think PDAnet requires. I could be wrong), but i'm trying to tether to a router USB port. so I can't install software to it.
So unless there's another specific app someone knows of, any other ideas?
one last bump? anyone?
First of all are your phone rooted ? Second of all if its not rooted go to the internet and download a app call black market and on there is tethering apps that do not require root
