[Q] Wifi Tethering

---

Anyone tried Portable WiFi Hotspot application that comes with the phone?

I don't have a tethering plan, but when I enable it and connect to it, it doesn't even take to the T-Mobile page where it says I need to purchase a tethering plan. Just wondering if that's normal.

I thought this application worked on the Sensation for free.

Many people in the SGS2 forum are reporting being able to tether when using an older Sim card (not the one that cane with the phone)

That's interesting. I moved to the new SIM that came with the phone. Still have my old SIM. Anyone using an older SIM that didn't come with the Amaze?

Just tried an older sim in the Amaze, same result as the new sim. On my browser it's T-Mobile telling me that I need tethering on my account. Appears to be from the phone, not the SIM.

I can connect to my phone, but when I open a browser on my PC, it doesn't take me to the tether website. So what I'm saying is that something may be broken on my Amaze.

just came from the store again .. same rsults neither the sgs2 or amaze with either new or old sims have "free" hotspot.. you can however have it for 15 a month.. tmobile just became at&t

There is something going on that hasn't yet been figured out about tethering. Apparently its not the sim cards because people have varying results with new and old cards. It has something else to do with the phone or the account. And I'm not referring to whether it has been added to the plan.

Also, I'm seeing the same results reported for the sgs2 and the amaze.

Looks like I won't be so quick to sell my Vibrant.

Tethering still work like a champ on that.
