I'm using my safelink wireless simcard in my AT&T note 8 phone. When I try to turn on the hotspot I get the message saying "mobile hotspot unavailable. You need a data plan on att network ect...." Clearly I'm not able to contact att to add a data plan when I dont have service with them in the first place. The only wat I can tether is using my pdanet app. I want to use the mobile hotspot icon? Can any1 help me please?

I have a grandfather unlimited data plan on AT&T with a LG G2 LG-D800 rooted. Attempting to enable phones ability to enable WiFi hotspot with third party app. Following posts I downloading sqlite and discovered the path was unavailable. Further posts direct enabling WiFi hotspot which fails as my service provider disables this function as well as it changes the status of my grandfathered plan. In trying to enable WiFi hotspot I receive a message after inputting a WiFi password
"Authentication was unsuccessful. To enable mobile hotspot on this device, go to att.com/mywireless or dial 611"
I downloaded sqlite for the specific purpose of enabling WiFi hotspot....any help to make my $2.99 purchase worthwhile is appreciated

I just unlocked my AT&T LG G3 and I am using it on Metro PCS.
My METRO plan includes a mobile hotspot service. Whenever I install a hotspot app and try to start up an access point, I get an authentication problem.
My carrier let's me have a hotspot but my phone doesnt.
Is there an app/update that can fix this?
I use the AT&T s7 on cricket and I have a reoccurring issue with the mobile hotspot that I need help with. With no rhyme or reason the Hotspot will work one day and then the next day I get an error message "to enable mobile hotpot go to at&t.com to activate service". The next time it will work, does anybody have a suggestion on how to get this to work all the time. Thanks
They told me at cricket that the AT&T s7 on cricket will not tether. I can't even sign up for it on my line.
You may want to try FoxFi, its on the app store. I know it works with the Verizon S7 to enable the tethering while bypassing the carrier checks.
Foxfi does not work with Sprint.
Anyone on a Verizon grandfathered unlimited plan try the hotspot? I know Foxfi doesn't work on Android 7.0 for wireless tether, however I tried the mobile hotspot and it checks and says my hotspot is enabled and starts. Works great, checked my Verizon features and I am not subscribed to any tethering plans. Not sure what to do with it, anyone else try this? Will we get billed for this?
I'm wondering the same... I want to make sure before in go all in on this phone that this key feature is enabled while I remain on old unlimited plan.
Thanks!
I'm still grandfather unlimited and it tells me I need to subscribe to the hot spot service.
PDAnet?
Likewise, has anyone tried PDAnet with it for tethering?

Tells me to subscribe
just got an s8+ today and found out that the native hotspot will work if you pop sim tray out, it will then take you to lock screen, pull down tray and turn on hotspot. You may get an error saying no sim installed but just keep pushing hotspot button until it turns on. It is working on mine now but now I am trying to figure out how I can disable ota updates. Anyone have any help for me? Thanks
I am using an MVNO that allows for me to use the mobile hotspot feature.
I have an S7 from AT&T that is factory. No Root, No Sim Unlock, nothing.
Everytime I try and turn on the Hotspot feature, it tells me that I must contact AT&T. (I know I am able to use the Hotspot on other phones, I've tried and done this successfully.)
Any suggestions, tips, or ideas on what I need to do to get passed this block.
Thank You!
