Hacked hotspot question

[Nickdroid86]

I have a hacked factory hotspot on my s4, and what I was wondering, i know it basically bypasses the hotspot plan and shows up in data instead. My question is, can I only use as much hotspot as I have for data? Like if i only get 5gb of lte a month, is that all I can use?

Right now I have the unlimited lte pan, and I use over 300gb a month, and it shows on my data plan. But i may need to downside. I don't want to lose what i use for hotspot though.

Yes, the hotspot data use will show up in your data total.

So I would need unlimited data if I want unlimited hotspot

Yes. The next problem will be if you really use tethering a lot, tmo will flag you and you will have to use a VPN to avoid getting the tethering detected. That is the step I am evaluating now.

I'll have to figure out how to do that, I have no clue about anything about vpn's

If I get tagged before you do, I'll post exactly how I get the VPN up and running.

Please do. It would be much appreciated

Doesn't matter what you do they'll throttle you down if they consider wrongful usage. Whether it's thru data or tether data. If it shows on your plan, T-Mobile knows about it. The question would be what's the allowed limit?

I think I have the answer. PDANET+ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got tagged by Tmo for exceeding my tethering cap and they shut me down. Started fighting with VPN's but after a day, gave up and came across PDAnet+ and tried it. Has been working for two days. The only catch is you have to USB tether, not wifi. You also have to throw the "hide from throttling" switch in the software. So far so good.
