I used to tether a lot on verizon, but I've heard horror stories about ATTs detection of it, so I don't want to try it.

I've never gotten a warning about tethering. I've tethered on multiple ROMs on a Galaxy S2, Galaxy Note, & my current Galaxy Note II. I've only had 1 month where I got close to the 5GB mark and I didn't tether that month. Maybe they don't look at it unless you use a lot of data?

I received the warning message last summer/fall. was tethering sporadically for a couple of years. The reason they were able to detect my tethering was because I allowed my daughter's iphone to tether to my phone, 2 weeks later, I got the warning message.

I am still tethering sometimes but I am very careful, like only tethering other android devices like my nexus 7 and note 10.1, etc... Never another iphone, windows machines or xbox.

I got one about 2 years ago.. similar situation, i let a friend tether his ipod, and shortly after, i got the warning. before that, i was tethering heavily for months.. coincidentally, shortly before that i got the "you are among the 5% of highest data users.." letter. gotta love the limited unlimited plan!

I haven't had the need to tether lately, but if the need arises.. i sure will. no more apple products in my circle though. snitches.

I received the text and e-mail from AT&T complaining that I was tethering. I'll admit I did tether on my iPhone4 but after I got the first letter from them I stopped completely because I loved my unlimited data. Well I finally ditched the iPhone and got the Galaxy S2 (AT&T version) and not 2 months after I got it I received a phone call from AT&T saying that since I had tethered my device (iPhone4) they were removing me from my grandfathered unlimited data to a 2GB package for $35 dollars. I said hell no I haven't tethered since I received the waning from them and they removed me from it anyways. I was unable to do anything about them removing it from my contract. Called multiple numbers and spoke with multiple supervisors, didn't make a darn difference. So I am now paying $45 a month for 4GB with tethering since I find myself using it pretty regularly now on my Note 2. It's depressing that I pay as much for slow HSPA+ as I do for 40mbps Charter at home. -_-

Ok .
I read your post and I noticed that you didn't mention, any thing about actually going into a physical AT&T Store! Because most of the phone rep reps don't know crap. And can't help you most of the time. I would have taken it to a corporate store, told them that someone switched your contract without your knowledge. Like I said B4, it happen to a friend of mine switching phones just as you did. They changed her contract. But I got it switched back after going into the store. And speaking to a manger there. Just b very convincing. And your problem will b fixed. But not sure how long you've been on that new contract. Maybe too late now! Anyhow good luck to ya.
Just my 2¢
