You can flash a custom ROM that has wifi hotspot enabled. Or you can install a third party solution like android wifi tether, and with some configuration (change device profile to Nexus and enable Routing fix) you can use it for wifi hotspot. But as far as ATT not knowing is concerned, your gambling. Don't use it too much and they'll probably never question it. Use it as your ISP and you'll be throttled before you know it

+1. I think AT&T only gets their panties in a bunch when people with grandfathered unlimited plans abuse tethering. I recently took a road-trip vacation and did a bit of tethering while on the road. No more than 500 megs or so on my 2G plan and no one was the wiser.

I've heard that they sniff for user-agent strings in browser packets. I think this is only on the grandfathered unlimited users though, but to be safe, on my vacation, I used Chrome and the user-agent switcher plugin to make chrome look like the android browser.

I didn't know that existed. Thanks!
