No hotspot provisioning on G930T?

[charter3554]

Hi, I'm thinking about picking up a SIM-unlocked T-Mobile S7 (930T) or maybe a T-Mobile S7 Edge (935T) to run on Cricket, but I want to make sure that the phone doesn't check with the carrier before allowing hotspot (hotspot tether provisioning).

For example, I'm pretty sure the Verizon version allows hotspot to be used without pinging whatever carrier's SIM one has installed (Cricket) because that's the way it worked on my Verizon branded S6. With my Cricket SIM in it, I could still run a hotspot without the phone checking for permission with my carrier as it does with some phones like the iPhone and S7 930A. On those two phones I can't do hotspot because it checks with the carrier before allowing hotspot tethering and I don't have hotspot on my plan. I don't do hotspot that often but it's nice to have it there when I need it.

The only reason I'm not looking at a Verizon version of the S7 is because the bands I would need to run well on Cricket are switched off on the 930V.

Let me know if you know whether the T-mobile S7s allow use of the hotspot tether function without pinging the carrier for permission.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

I have T-mobile s7, and I am in Italy, with an itlaian provider and hotspot is working just fine.
I think that if your phone is SIM ulocked (like mine) you can use hotspot without problem.

hope it can help
