Is it true that if you use the wifi tether app verizon won't know that you're tethering?

I ran 20 gigs through my phone last month on wireless tether and I never heard anything.

Even if they somehow can, if you have the unlimited data plan then they can't do or say anything. Its an application on the official Android Market, and in your contract there is no clause stating you can't tether your phone. So you're in the clear brutha

I'm sure they can still say something. Most "unlimited" plans with ISPs have an "acceptable use" clause (which is completely within their discretion) so if they feel you are abusing the service they can still cancel your service. It's kinda BS but that's contracts for ya.
Whether they can prove you are tethering or not excessive data is excessive data and is probably enough to throw up a flag for them to give it another look.
Either way, if you need it...may as well do it till you get called out instead of worrying about something that may never happen. You can probably make an argument/plee on the first accusation anyway.
Ive done over 15 gigs and i still have about 15 days or so left on this bill. Most of it was spent on nonstop Netflix for about 7-8 hours a day minus the weekends.
which apps are you guys using?
I can't seem to get one that doesn't launch the verizon tether app.
That and my xoom won't see the freebies app.
I'm on course to clear 25gig by the end of my billing period. Not a peep outta them! The app is called wireless tether. Get it on XDA.
They can tell but they would have to disect your data, may be some privacy issues involved. Most carriers are still figuring out how to approach it. Expect them to "attempt" to aggressively combat this soon.

I believe that those of us who are grandfathered into the old unlimited data plan do not share that restriction on our contract, but i could be wrong. However, when I posted that, I had read through the contract, and i didnt see that. So please, take this time to chill out

No, they can change the contract at any time. But no matter, the older contract said basically the same thing:

Hi guys just wanted to let you know I found a way to get a working free mobile hotspot from Big Red using the same method as the Bionic's (thanx to who ever found this). Anyway I made a quick video for the the Razr. As for those wondering about Big Red watching you, I used 43 gb last month and 32 gb so far this month Also here's an article from XDA about throttling legalities on 4g networks. Can't say for sure, I'm no lawyer but it looks legit.
Worked perfectly. Thanks!
Your account can be flagged, and Verizon can either sue you for illegally using (read: stealing) their services, throttle you permanently, or just be nice and just tack on the tethering price to your monthly bill without telling you.
This is illegal, don't do it.

This is NOT illegal, in my mind, if you have payed for a certain amount of data. You are not stealing their services because hot spotting is NOT their service. It is a a feature built into your phone that they blocked so they could charge you extra. Period. Even if this was illegal, you can always root and install a tethering app. At that point, I'd like to see them explain why this is still a service provided by then.

You are probably correct. I changed the setting back after testing because I don't need any legal issues (or an increase in my bill), but for people who don't care or think they won't get caught, the procedure at least appears sound...
i have a massive data when i started using the thunderbolt with open garden tether. I'm a netflix guy and use as a modem to my apartment for over 6months and never get flagged. now i have the droid razr doing this Verizon hotspot too.
grandfathered rules!
It's not a matter of legality. It's not illegal.
It's a matter of ethics. Are you willing to break the Terms of Service that you signed agreement with when you bought the service? And are you willing to deal with Verizon's reaction when they find out? If they add a tether charge to your account, you earned it.
@ x2breakoffate, you have paid for unlimited phone data. You have not paid for ANY tether data. They sold it to you with the data blocked. If you didn't like that you should not have bought a phone that was crippled.
What you offered is a lame attempt to make yourself feel better, not a justification.
If any of you would read the full post and the associated links, you would know about the Block C provision. I've used it for a couple months on the Bionic and had no problems.
@ ad78.....I'm sorry it wasn't clearly stated that this was not my own work and I copied it from the Bionic

@ everyone else: Stated I am no lawyer but I can say for those like me on the UNLIMITED DATA PLAN, yes I think it's BS that they lock down the devices and limit tethering to a usb. As posted earlier http://goo.gl/cL3L1 it is illegal under Block C to limit or throttle 4g devices.
You can throttle Block C devices for reasonable network management reasons (you using a 100 GB of data per month and therefore causing data congestion is one of those reasons).
And yes, it is illegal to use a paid service without paying for it.
I could tap into DirectTV's cable service and use it for free somehow, or get channels that I'm not paying for...is it simply a moral dilemma because they lock it down "simply because they want to charge me money" for them?
Terms of use aren't just a wall of text there because they want to put it there, it's a legally binding document that you AGREED to (which is the equivalent of signing). They CAN sue you for "pirating" their officially branded tethering service on their network. That's what you're doing. You're disabling the check in THEIR software to make sure you have the tethering plan, and you're using THEIR officially branded service, through THEM, without paying THEM. That is illegal.
The only difference between this and pirating a version of Microsoft Office and disabling the serial check is the fact that it's more easily monitored since all of the stolen data you're sending is going through their servers, possibly with something attached that tells Verizon that you're tethering.

There is no difference to phone data and tether data.
It's all just information sent by the TCP-IP protocol.
It is like buying a book, but you are only allowed to read it outside because you have not payed for the ability to read it by artificial light.
Its still stealing bottom line. If you can afford a smartphone you should be able to afford internet at home or just pay extra for a tethering plan.

Right, let's just all steal food from Walmart, it's a multi-billion dollar retail chain, it won't hurt much.
Honestly, if you're going to tether, at least use a 3rd party app. Using their software to steal free service is like peeing on a cop car and expecting to get away with it.

Hi guys,
I upgraded my plan and got OSGSII from an AT&T store.
The person said that it requires at least 2 GB data plan for at least 6 months.
I simply said okay there, but at home, I could not find anything related to that matter.
So I am suspecting that he was making me pay extra 10 bucks for nothing since I do not use 4G that much.
I wanted to confirm with the xda community. Any thoughts on this?
With a smartphone you are required to purchase a data plan

You were misguided by the representative.
You need a data plan, but you can definitely get the 200MB plan.
It does not required the 2Gb plan. you can choose to go with the 200MB for $15/month. what that sales rep said is bs. You can make the changes from your account online if you like.

Everyone have unlimited data. You just have to pay for it if you go over your tired plan.
Unlimited is no longer offered however you can apparently use a Iphone 2g, activate it and get the unlimited edge plan, then use a newer phone and upgrade the plan to unlimited.
Personal accounts with smartphones will require a minimum plan of
$15 for 200MB of data at which it's an additional $15 for another 200MB if you go over.
You can also do $25 for 2GB, $10 for an additional 1GB if you go over.
$45 for 4GB+tethering, $10 for an additional 1GB if you go over.
In some cases, some business accounts will only allow for a $25 data plan for the smartphones on it.
And yes, there's a way to get unlimited

Lmao, didn't read other replies but he was probably lying to you. If it was a third party retailer, he may have been telling the truth (Often they screw you by requiring certain plans, give you a cheaper phone, but giving it to you doggie style while forcing you into a plan that you don't need and charging you hundreds of dollars if you change it). If it was a core store, we get chargebacks if something is changed in a negative way within the first 6 months, so that's a possibility. They'll often add additional features, extra late / ETF's, etc.
So yeah, phones may b e cheaper at a third party, but often times you're forced into something far more expensive. If he was a corporate AT&T rep though, I suggest you not only speak to his manager, but go above and beyond that and find out who the area / director is.

Randomly though, if you have any form of discount that's above 10%, the 2gb plan is the way to go. Most people use 400+ MB so it makes sense.. I sorta feel like if people are using less than 200mb, they either spend their entire time at home or work with a wifi connection, or they shouldn't have a smartphone.

Go on eBay and search unlimited data at. I use someone with reef in his name, it takes about a day and was kind of a hassel but surely enough I have unlimited data now for $30 a month. There is an xda thread under the Motorola atrix about it also.

Yeah i don't think it matters going to a COR location or authorized retailer, as long as it's not Walmart or Radio Shack, it's dependent on your rep, and some reps truly don't give a ****. COR reps are in a union tho so they really have to mess up to get fired.
Basically, unless you're under specific restrictions which i can't imagine a single scenario OR on a business account specifically requiring the larger data plan, you can have which ever you want!

Are you still a kid, a pupil, a student?
'Cuz if you are a working man, here's the time
7am: wake up, doing personal stuff, drinking coffee, watching TV and use wifi to access internet.
9am: start driving to work. You know that you should NEVER surf webs or play game while driving, right?
At work: you either
a. spend 8 hours working
b. using company wifi.
7pm: driving home. R u watching Netflix while driving?
At home: hello, wifi
Midnite: sleeping time.
Weekend? even more wifi.
Me, personally, don't know why people spend a lot of mobile data unless they live in the area that don't have wifi.
I personally find it impossible to use less than 500mb a month even if i'm being frugal. The 2GB plan is the best choice unless you physically disable data and only enable it when needed.

They don't throttle if you are on an unlimited plan unless you are in the top 5%. I had a customer last month who used 28GB in one month streaming netflix all day every day. Needless to say he was being throttled. They actually put a code on your account if you are being throttled that any rep can see and they send you an automated text message. So it is not a surprise, so unless you got this text then you are experiencing slower speeds for some other reason.

I've downloaded 8gigs in a month before without being throttled.
If you're leaving AT&T, you have these options:
Verizon. Basically the same as AT&T except a few dollars more. No unlimited data. They throttle.
T-Mobile. Crappy coverage. Less expensive. Throttles you after 2 gigs.
Sprint. Crappy coverage. Unlimited data with no throttling, but it's only a matter of time until their customer base grows and their network has to stop unlimited and start throttling. You'll be in the same position eventually with crappier coverage.
Random bad credit carrier: Good luck with that.

If it really bothers you, then switch to the 3gb data plan.
If it bothers you even more, file an official FCC complaint. Many people already have.
We throttle the top 5%. The top 5% varies per market. I regularly pass 10gb and I have had no message on my personal account.
And think about what your other options are.
-2gb on T-Mobile
-Limited LTE data on Verizon, same as us. (they throttle too)
-Sprint - sure you get unlimited. but they have the slowest data out of all the carriers
So we have to bend over and take it? That's what we are doing now.

So your saying anybody that uses more then 2-3 gbs is in the "top 5%"? I just got the text that I'm approaching the top 5% and I'm just over 3gbs. I agree with the OP it's a load of BS if I sign up for something that's labeled unlimited it should be unlimited. I think its BS that they throttle it so low most apps like YouTube wont even work right. And for the government stepping in that'll take some REAL change in government, there is to much money changing hands in politics for real change to happen and get rid of the corporate government take over. I can't believe for one second that only 5% of at&t customers use less then 2gbs a month. If they started throttling at like 10 or so i would have no problem but after 2-3 they want us to get rid of our unlimited and go to a tiered plan so they can charge a crap ton of money and line their pockets just like the rest of the corporate greed out there!!!

The amount at which you get throttled varies per market.
And I disagree with it too. It sucks.
The fact that you say that it varies from market to market sounds like its very ripe for abuse on their part. I can't see how it could be justifiable to throttle me at a little over 3gb when you are using over 10 a month. Sounds like you know an end around the very system you work for. It all boils down to corporate greed and the fact that we in the USA have let companies like this get away with so much for so long that its just 2nd nature and everybody wants to say its the consumers fault.

I had a text 1 day before my cycle ended saying I am approaching the top 5%
Now you ask how much data I had used do you.... 1.5 gb
Now that is complete horse sh*t
Guys verizon does not currently throttle LTE customers, they do throttle 3g.
as for the APN tricks...we are noticing on the Skyrocket forum that for many it is not working any more.
The best you can do is continue to call in and have the specific throttle call response center note your account of any issues you are experiencing while throttled (i.e. I was throttled for 8 days during my last billing cycle and no web pages would load, text messaging stopped working, the market gave no connection errors, mms was not working at all) so that they know this is doing more harm than simply limiting speeds.
That and file a SPECIFIC FCC complaint. So far FCC complaints have done nothing but initiate a contact from ATT that this is the new policy.
The major problem is that as the throttle policy continues, the top 5% will drop as people use less data. This and the fact that the call center uses the consumer calling in to complain as an opportunity to have them switch to a tiered plan, on which they will not be throttled.
The given response is intended by ATT to be
1. The throttle policy is intended to be a temporary solution to the evergrowing need for growing spectrum and the currently congested network.
2. For immediate relief one can use wifi when available and one does have the option of changing to a tiered plan, which is not throttled.
Is it BS, yes, but it is what it is.
I did the math and we are better off staying with ATT right this moment.
Our six lines of service would cost much much more on any other carrier. In my case I could actually switch to the 5 gb plan and use 3gb over and still pay less than at the competing carriers.
How is the amount in the top 5% determened? I got my line way back in the day when smartphones were taboo and not "trendey" and it was known as cingular. I didnt half to pull matrix hack to get teathering. The software was on the disk and the instructions were on the owners manual. Why are long time customers have to be restricted now? I got my unlimited plan because I want and can make use my data. I got trottled only after two to three day in the billing cycle. I stream spurs basketball on nba league pass moble which would jusiffy getting such a plan. Why do I need to pay for wifi when I already paying for the use of unlimited data? Wifi is for the customers that need to ration thier limited data.
My brothers what can we do seriously to damage At&t for BS ing us. Tomorrow the can say anyone using 100 MB is top 5%.

I'm not sure I want to damage the company responsible for providing my network coverage. And if you cause me to have a dropped call I will eliminate you
Currently I have a ATT family plan with Moto Atrix and Unlimited Data plan, as long as I don't drop the unlimited data plan it will always be available to me.
Anyway, has anyone in similar situation tried upgrading their phone though Best Buy mobility? I noticed that they are the only one outside of ATT that have option "Keep my current data plan" and I'm just unsure/worried if that really applies to ATT unlimited data as well. Has anyone done upgrade though Best Buy?
I looked at Amazon Wireless, and they only let you choose new data plan, so I would loose my unlimited data.
And with Best Buy I can buy online and pick up at store.
Yes, you keep unlimited plan, but you should double check before you leave the store..
I was in the exact situation. I bought my SGS3 from Best Buy (in store) and kept my unlimited plan.

i tried but when the sim was activated they force an LTE data plan on me, called 6 different people and 3 different floor managers, they all refused to help... so i switched to verizon... f*ck 'em
Hmm two different replys. How did they force it? On att site there is 4g lte unlimited option.

I upgraded my atrix through best buy and was able to keep my unlimited data. No pleading or complaining, they had no problem with it. They also gave me 150 bones for my atrix. :good:
