How to get unlimited data.

Alright guys, there is still a plan code for unlimited hotspot for our 4G phones that WILL also change your plan to unlimited data. Keep in mind some reps will NOT know this and some might have to search up the feature code. BARE WITH THEM AND DONT BE **** HEADS BECAUSE THEY WILL LOG THE ACCOUNT WITH NOTES AND YOU WILL BE OUT OF LUCK. If the rep tells you they cant do anything or cant find anything simply be polite, hang up then call back.
After you find someone who has added this plan then go to your my Verizon and remove the unlimited hotspot feature. You will be left behind with unlimited data for $30.
This is all based on the rep you speak too, it works for some and it doesnt work for others. Just be patient.

Just did this i am going to hold out and keep it for a month and see who gets busted. If people do get busted i will just keep it with my discount it is costing 24 dollars if you go over 1.001 gig it basically pays for it self on the 30 dollar double your gig plan. Hurry up i am sure that loophole will come to an end shortly.

Just did this too but I had to call back cause the first girl didn't know anything really lol my "my Verizon" widget says i have unlimited lol

Yeah but if you add the Unlimited 4G hotspot plan on, doesnt that already replace your current data plan with that unlimited 4G hotspot plan? And therefore, you will already have unlimited data?

hmmm.. wondering if this will work for those of us that pay just $20/month for 300MB....

Just did this and it worked. Great tip.
Everyone should jump on this.

Took a little for the app to update but it worked still says unlimited and the hotspot is indeed off. Wow lol good ****

Thanks so much! I have to have hotspot and don't want to worry about being throttled. I was paying $50 for the 6gb with hotspot. Called in and asked for the "4g hotspot" plan like the post said. I also saw it under features on account management but it didn't actually say "unlimited". The rep didn't seem to know about it. Once he found it he said it was a November promotion but since it was only December 2nd he'd see if he could get it done for me. Sure enough. Came back and said he got it approved. Now have unlimited data on phone and hotspot for 1 cent less a month. Thanks! I guess I could always remove the hotspot and retain the data plan but I'm fine for now. Interestingly enough. My old data with hotspot was all within the data section. Now I just see unlimited data for $30 in the data section. Then the 4G hotspot feature is found in the "features" section. So I don't see the problem in dropping the hotspot plan and keeping the unlimited data whenever I want. They aren't tied together like my old data plan was.

YAYS!
I did this yesterday. Took three tries until I got a rep that would help me do it. Here's hoping it lasts/doesn't cause problems! I wouldn't think it would but you never know with these carriers. They are evil!

I wonder how long this is going to work? I'm switching to Verizon within the next month or so
Sent From my Verizon powered Evo 4G!

Thanks OP for linking back to the instructions. Thanks to others for guidance also. I just called and it worked no problem on first call. I joined Verizon exactly 1 month ago so no chance of grandfathering for me.
My exact steps(about a 5-10 minute process):
1- *611
2- option 4
3- spoke "add a feature"
4- enter password
5- spoke to an outgoing customer service lady
6- told her, exact words: "I want add the unlimited 4G hotspot feature to my plan"
7- 1 min later it was done. She told me I would now have unlimited data vs. the 4 gigs I had.
8- hung up, refreshed "My Verizon Data" widget and it was unlimited!!
9- logged into My Verizon, change features under plan, removed 4g hotspot($30.00 add-on)
10- unlimited data for $29.99 remains on my plan
11- SUCCESS!!!

5 tries...success. Watchout cause they accidentally put "global 4G data 50mb" for 30.00 per month...had to call to get removed but only took a second. Let's hope they don't go back and change it

This just worked for me on the second try with my wife's phone. Not only did it work, but she didn't even put the hotspot on the phone, just made it unlimited data

It works!!!
Just upgraded 2 phones on our family plan. Actually went right to unlimited data, without the hotspot thing, from our existing 4 GB double data plan. Took several tries, but once you hit the right rep. they do it in like 2 minutes.

Nevermind the last part of my last part. The 4g hotspot wasn't showing up on the my Verizon app, but when I logged into the site it was there so I have to take it off. Also when I did this I found out that apparently I'm over paying on my family plan shared minutes by $20

Glad it worked guys!

As soon as my charge is fixed I'm doing this. yusssssss

Worked for me this morning on my first call, however he did put me on hold for 10 minutes. I did not have to cancel the hotspot online because it automatically cancelled my previous data pack and says "unlimited data / email access". Widget does indicate unlimited! Does anybody else know if I leave it like that will it charge me twice for data? I tried to find my regular 2gb data pack but it wasn't there anymore. And when I went to "change features" it said the my data pack ( that I just added) was not available anymore and if I deleted or changed it I would not get it back..... interesting!! Thanks ForeverSupra I'm Stoked!!

Why not try it now? You don't have to have a working phone for them to change your plan.

Free App for WiFi Tethering NO ROOT NECESSARY

FoxFi https://market.android.com/details?id=com.foxfi
Allows wifi tethering from most Samsung phones and Motorola phones, LG Optimus/Vortex/Ally, ZTE N762, HuaWei Comet. WiFi mode does NOT work on any HTC phones or the first Motorola Droid/Triumph, use Bluetooth mode instead.
You can connect from any tablets or computers. Access Point is infrastructure mode with WPA2 security.
And it's FREE!
Came across this after having problems with Barnacle and Wireless Tether after upgrading to ICS.

Curious as I am.......does anyone that's been grandfathered on the unlimited plans tether? And how do you go about keeping AT&T from switching you to the tethering plan?

I'm grandfathered on unlimited, and when I tried to do tethering through settings, it came back with a message saying my account wasn't allowed to tether. It worked first time I did it the first week I had my phone. I just tried Foxfi, and I didn't get that message. I'll keep an eye and make sure no funky changes happen to my plan.
Oh, now I'm ticked, I just checked my plan and they changed me off of it when they never said they were doing that at the store!

With school and all, was really busy and didn't have a chance to call in until today. They switched it back for me, no problems. Just took a little to get the supervisor to do it. Which, since I have worked for T-Mobile and Sprint, I know that supervisors have to do the override, but work with the normal agent nicely, and they will know who to get to change it. Stay nice, you'll usually get things done.
And yes, that app works for tethering, I added it to my main page so I can access it quickly. Can't wait to have LTE in Portland and use it with my laptop.

anybody got taken out of grandfathered unli data because of this app yet???

I use foxfi too. But has anyone encountered the tether plan hammer from att? At first i got a bit worried about this and couldn't find any answers through Google as they had similar opinion to mine.

I've been using foxfi for a while, but I haven't used it for more than 15 minutes at one time so I'm not sure if AT&T knows.

Nexus 5 tethering block?

I'm on T-Mobile US and tethering have been working fine for me without paying for the extra tethering fee on my Nexus 4. I can do wifi and bluetooth tether to ipad, nexus 7, and a laptop with user agent switching. Got my Nexus 5 today and nothing works, I keep on getting the upsell page even after playing around with different APN settings. Put my sim back in my N4 everything works. Anyone experiencing the same issue? Maybe Google changed something in KitKat.

What T-Mobile plan do you have?
Supposedly they are giving free wifi hotspot access with nearly all of their plans now, even prepaid.
Perhaps you need to check your APN or register the imei # somehow with T-Mobile.
I had to upgrade/downgrade myself today cause I was using a $10 unlimited web plan with my galaxy nexus, but when I tried to use the fast.-t-mobile.com APN (for LTE access) I got the upsell page as well, no data at all.
What I went ahead and did was sign up for the $30 prepaid plan (100 mins 5gb data) and transferred my number over etc, worked great. I had a micro sim activation kit though, which asked for IMEI number etc. Supposedly I will have wifi hotspot access @ 100mb/month but I haven't tested it yet.

Blocked for me as well. I'm on a post-paid plan. 1000 minutes and unlimited data. I mainly use the tethering with my iPad. Works with Nexus 4, but not with the Nexus 5.
I may be sending the 5 back, as this is a major issue for me.

Maybe, but I don't think you will get LTE with that plan, T-mobile seems to be blocking it with the fast.t-mobile.com APN.
At any rate, I've already switched to the $30 plan, and its working fine (haven't tested wifi hotspot yet though)

Not exactly sure which plan you have but I'm pretty sure T-Mobile is now including free wifi hotspot/tethering for free now. How much monthly data allowed depends on your plan.
If they are giving it to prepaid folks there is no reason why you shouldn't be getting it.
If you install the T-Mobile My account app from the play store see if it shows "mobile hotspot balance". If not I would call them as inquire about it. Don't return it too quickly...

Ok I remember reading you need to have one of their "Simple Choice" plans to get the free mobile hotspot. You might have to change your plan, not sure if it will cost you more to do so though...
I'm assuming the plan you have now is unlimited, and you don't want to switch to the 2.5gb plan, and if you go up to unlimited its probably going to cost you more than you are paying now...

I've used tethering with my Value Plan (1000min/unlimited data) for over a year now. It just doesn't work with the Nexus 5, put the sim back in my Nexus 4 and it works fine. My plan didn't officially come with tethering. It worked fine with my iPad and android tablets. It would present the blocked message on my laptop. I was okay with that, since I didn't subscribe to an "official" tethering plan.
I don't know if this will be fixed with a custom rom, becuase it seems like it is at the core of KitKat. I also tried flashing the bare AOSP ROM, and tethering was blocked with that as well.

Also seeing the blocked tethering over here. On the $30 Tmobile plan and the Nexus 4 works perfectly tethering. Put the same sim into the Nexus 5 and it just redirects me to the sign in page for Tmobile. Hope this is fixed or this will be a massive negative towards this phone, probably even a deal breaker.

My doesn't officially comes with tethering either, but it always worked for tablets. On laptop I just change the user agent and it works fine. Have you look into any of the tethering apps? I have no idea if they're any better than the built in one.

You are seeing the redirect on your PC? In the past I noticed I had to change the user-agent on my PC's web browser to Mobile for it to let me past T-mobile's blocking.
Are you trying through a PC? Try tethering another mobile device like a tablet or phone and see if it works...

I think it is a T-Mobile thing, as I see other people talking about successfully tethering their nexus 5 all over the place. Might just be a small subset of T-Mobile users. Either way its very annoying. Wouldn't be the end of the world if I had to use a different app to tether, but I don't even know if that would or could work.

You have to figure only a small subset of users have received theirs yet, and an even tinier subset of them even care about tethering, and even a smaller subset of then have even tried it yet. Every Nexus device is a disaster until you let it settle in for a week or two and let the wrinkles settle out.

Change 4g data plan
There's a new 4g data plan which includes 2.5GB hotspot data. You still get unlimited phone data for the same price as before. $20/mo.

[Q] AT&T Throttling My Data?

I have had my Nexus 5 since the beginning. I am on AT&T of course. I pulled the sim from my HTC One XL and put it into the 5. No problems. Up until this week I think. Speedtest will not go above 0.56Mbps. I am in Houston with plenty of LTE service. I check my At&T account and they have changed the logo above my phone number. It used to show Android HTC. So, I figure that Att has figured out that i am not using "their" phone. I call them up and they say that the IMEI's do not match. The tech guy was cool. He said he was trying to help me. That nothing was going to change. He did a few things but no dice. I wasnt sure if i was supposed to tell Att anything as they might ruin my chances at having good service with an unlocked phone. Anyway, i have restored my phone, changed APNs, and now I dont know what to do.

I don't know but just curious does your accrual signal say LTE?
I didn't tell att when I switched from an iPhone. LTE was still fine

I tried the Tellinfo app. What am I looking for? My signal strength is -106. It used to be around -85. I have tried the ATT PHONE APN and the ATT LTE PTA APN. Both are working the same. ATT is supposed to call back today. He said after resetting the phone, the last two efforts would be to send a new sim, and if that doesnt work, then its my phone. Now, I'm pretty sure it's not the phone. I also didnt have an option for Edge. THere was EvDo.

Well you do know if your on the Unlimited Data Plan on AT&T you get throttled down to about that speed after hitting 5GB .... .

Its probably data cap 5GB throttle city. It happened to me. I called ATT and they confirmed I was at 8GB for the month and had to wait till cycle flipped. After flip flying at "super fast" ATT speeds again.

I am on the Unlimited data plan. I didnt realize they would throttle me after 5mbs. I havent done any downloading of custom roms yet. I used to use data like crazy with my One XL and I never noticed any loss of data. I will try the cingular APN just for shiz. Thanks.
EDIT: I checked with ATT and yeah, my cycle ends either on the 7th or 8th and I have used about 6mb. So, fingers crossed for next week.

You're lucky. I'm using my N5 on T-Mobile and I lost my grandfathered unlimited plan. I had no data (but emails and SMS worked ... strange). After a week of communications and testing tech support claimed that the N5 was not compatible with the grandfathered plan (it did show up in my account on the website as Unknown with unlimited data). After upgrading to a metered plan my service is excellent.

Can you confirm what plan and rom you're on? I'm on unlimited lte plan and I USED to be able to do this but since switching to the Nexus 5 they won't even let me connect via wap.cingular on the nexus 5 (even on 3g). I have no problem doing this on my nexus 4 or my i9100 gsII, but either the nexus 5 or att has been blocking me since

That's what T-Mobile does on its grandfathered plans after 4.5 GB and on its new metered plans after you exceed your plan limit. Great, huh?

Got the update. Also supposed to improve wireless charging. Noticed some icons have a new appearance.

5.1.1

Got the update. 5.1.1. Added the Android Security Patch date im About Phonee. Tried to activate wifi calling but it keeps saying try again later. There are a few visual tweaks as well. I'm not super versed on emojis but since they are supposed to come with 5.1.2 I assume they are not included (I assume Samsung also has to make there awful version of them)
EDIT: figured it out. I had something disabled with package disabler that prevented it from being setup. I re-enabled all packages then worked fine then re-disabled the same ones. Working on figuring out the specific one.

I took the update and foxfi is still working on my phone. Have unlimited data also

Did you figure out which one caused this? I setup my parents phone back in April and disabled something and they also cannot get wifi calling to activate

Process of elimination has told me it has to do with the Verizon Login (red square with padlock and key in PackageDisabler) com.motricity.verizon.ssodownloadable that may be the culprit. But I was going by if it would let me update my address location for e911 since I had it activated. Hopefully that works for them!

I see that you have unlimited data.
Did you also receive the email from VZW about the price increase for unlimited data users?, additional $20 a month per line.

The update also brings Youtube live broadcast. What about wireless charging got fixed? What was the issue in the first place?
Edit: Oh, and the 4g logo finally gets greyed out when wifi enabled. Not sure if that will help battery drain or not.

Whoa wifi calling doesn't count against your minutes if you have a limited minute plan. Finally no need to use a ****ty voip app.

Nope. I upgraded before that and locked in 2 more years.

Wifi texting also works. I'm using Textra and have VZ Messages disabled.

Does not matter. ALL unlimited data plans currently in use will have the $20 added to there current plan. I had 2 lines I locked in Black Friday and I changed to the new plans.

Black friday was after the cut off, even though the date was 11/15 for the $20 fee it was really 11/14 any sims activated on 11/15 were charged. Anyone who upgraded before 11/14 should be fine until their contract expires...Verizon even said so in their press release. The $20 isn't so bad when you think about it, you can now have unlimited minutes with wifi calling and you can do DPP upgrades now which beats the hell out of paying full price for a phone.

I also renewed my contract on early November and locked in the same $29.99 pricing. VZW sent an email couple months back warning unlimited customers that this would happened on 11/15. My bill is still showing me the same price. Foxfi also works on the latest software update!
Question: How do you use wifi calling?

The new icons are horrible.
