If you are on AT&T and you have unlimited and you tether your device and use lots of data how is that wrong? It's unlimited.

Now I don't know how that works because I have Sprint and use between 10-15 gigs a month to tether for netflix ect... I have unlimited.

What is wrong with using the network to your advantage because you the customer are paying for it right???

well yes that is somewhat true. but the fact of the matter is your paying for the services that the company offers.

not the service you think that your due for paying.

if there is a charge for tethering there is a charge, so hence you would have to pay.

the company doesnt even have to give you the ability to tether if they dont want to, what would you do at that point.

Root your phone?? I understand why the company would be mad if they could be charging you for something and your basically back dooring it.

It's just as well that Sprint could send me the same message and tell me to knock it off or pay for. At that point I would stop!

If you go to a buffet and pay for one person yet your whole family eats, is that considered ok?

Each device may have unlimited, but it is kept separate in the computers. You may own the data plan, but allowing different family members(your devices) to tether on one price, is what ATT has the problem with.

It isn't just the hotspot features that allows multiple pcs to connect but even just a direct tethering connection to just 1 PC that you have to pay for the feature. It's like you going to a all-you-can-eat buffet, paying the charge for yourself then being told "well if you want "steak" or cheesecake" or whatever extra they decide to charge you for (yourself only!) or if you want to eat more than 2 plates that will cost you more when you thought you had thought you were buying unlimited when you paid without their stipulations.

I agree 100%! Good for you too that Sprint has been so good with their customers about unlimited data use really being unlimited!

For the right price, of course... But yes, it was a really good call for them to keep it that way.
