[Q] T-Mobile Sensation has built in hotspot enabled?

[metajames]

For those of you who have devices already...

Does the the Sensation in stock form from T-Mobile have the gingerbread built-in portable hotspot functions enabled like it is on the Nexus S? I am considering switching but this may be a deal breaker for me since I use hotspot fairly often.

does t-mobile charge extra for using the mobile hotspot? or do I have to sign up for their tethering plan?

The app has some nicer features than the stock hotspot. Has a guide that always starts that's annoying.

You are being robbed if they're charging you.

 

[Element515]

yea, there is no additional charge... maybe it's time to update your plan if they're charging you

Nothing, just have a data plan and use the app.

Yep I pay 30 a month and I get the tethering with it! However my sister and her boy friend both own the samsung vibrant and they both had to pay an extra $10 a month to get the tethering option enabled

so you saying that the "tethering" is the built in app? right now that we have into the phone?

or we have to pay to get that app? (i see that is 29$ on their site..)

thanks,

i think its on tmobile's website somewhere that states if you want tethering it requires a 20 dollar web plan or above.

It comes on the phone. The app is called Wi-Fi Hotspot. USB tethering also shows up as an option when you plug in a USB to the phone that's attached to your computer.
