Hey guys,
Trying to figure out which phones would be able to USB-Tether with verizon. On an older plan where you have to pay $30 for hotspot usage. Are there any phones you can buy directly from verizon that would work? I just need my options and if not what can I do. Thank you!

I have a question for anyone that can be of assistance. I am looking to upgrade myself and my wife from our old antiquated HTC Wizard finally. The problem is I dont want to lose our grandfathered 5.99 data plan through the upgrade. I'm looking for 3g phones that people have upgraded to without problems. This also has to be done with a plan ( I know it would be easier to by a phone outright but unfortunately I don't have the money for that now.) So please any suggestions? Thanks for all of your help.
I sold an iphone recently to someone with a grandfathered plan and tmobile actually said they can remain on the grandfathered data plan. Have you tried calling your tmo customer support agent?
dont call tmobile support. just get a phone from another carrier. i have the cheap data plan on my lg expo.
Thanks guys. I know I can purchase a phone outright and do it. But unfortunately I don't have the money for that right now. So I have to go the extended contract route and upgrade phone. I have gotten mixed messages on this working for the G1. Some say tmobile finds out somehow and cuts this off after a while forcing you to upgrade data plan. Anyone else?
If at first you don't succeed, try try again..... Anyone else please?
Hi im currently on tmobile
when i first got my contract in tmobile i got an LG sentio then the next day i got a vibrant from ebay. i did this because i wanted a smarthphone, withouth having to pay for a smarthphone plan. saince i had a crapy phone (LGsentio) and not a smarthphone, i could change my plan options when i wanted, internet, text etc... a year ago i could use my vibrant with Tzones just fine, but thats over hahahahhha. Eany ways im thinking of swithching to ATT, but people keep telling me that i can not do like in tmobile, that even if i bring my own phone, they will still charge my for smartphone plan... let me explain. in tmobile if i get a contract and pick one of the free phones, if after that i buy a diferent phone in this case a smartphone i can still use it with just voice and text plan, its not required to have a smarphone plan sainse im buying the phone by my self.
the question is... if i switch to ATT and get one of the free phones, and after that lets say i but in ebay eany android phone, will they change my voice and data plan by it self to a smartphone plan? or can i use it with the normal plan i pik?
PS: i need it this way cause my job its not steady and when no good income is coming in, i have to take out internet and stuff.
I ran across a refurbished Verizon Wireless mobile hotspot modem device on one of the deal sites i go to and figured i could buy it for my girlfriend to use on trips. Would she have to connect the modem to her Verizon Wireless account and pay extra fees to use it? Or since i bought it from a site (not Verizon) would she just be able to use it for free? I dont really know much about how these modems work :/
Also, i recently rooted her Thunderbolt so would the fact that it is rooted give her free hotspot? I know she had it on her phone before i rooted it and was given a free month trial of it but she would have had to pay if she wanted to continue using it. She is running InfectedRom and dont think it has a hotspot app included.
Thanks a ton for the help!
Im currently on verizon and am paying a little more than when I started. My contract is over but I cant take advantage of the upgrade because I would loose my unlimited data plan. My sister and I have a family plan, She pays for 2.5 of the phones and I pay the other 2.5(we both pay half of moms). So I am looking at switching to T-mobile but I have no idea what the coverage is like here in town. So first of I would like to know if anyone is from Waco, Tx. and what kind of coverage they get.
My other option is unlocking my razr and using tmobile for a month. I wouldn't want to loose my verizon plan just in case the coverage here is crappy so I would have to pay for both verizon plan and tmobile. But I want to know if theres a way I can do this without verizon knowing that I unlocked my phone and used it on tmobile. Can I just deactivate the device and activate another one I have?
My third option is using my nexus 7, but I dont think I can make phone calls through it. I was reading through the forum and dont think they ever got that issue fixed.
Any other options? Any ideas?
I'm very sorry for asking but i've searched and have not found what i am looking for.
i have stock verizon s9+. i want to activate the hotspot. i will not pay verizon to do this. i have used foxfi with my old samsung but it does not work on this model. i have the grandfathered unlimited data. please direct me to the instructions to do this. thank you
