Can anyone using an unlocked note 8 let me know if you can still use the hotspot feature?
Also curious if you have an unlocked S8 or S7 , does the hotspot work?

Yes I read that people with the unlocked s8 can use the hotspot without Verizon getting in the way. So the unlocked Note8 should be the same. The only trade-off is you do not get Wi-Fi calling or HD calling because the firmware does not support it. I don't use those features so it doesn't bother me. You can flash the Verzion firmware and get those features but you lose the hotspot. Idk if you can go back to carrier unlocked firmware so I'm not messing with it.

Niceee, no problem gingi ! That's the main reason I wanted root in the past. I wish I knew about the unlocked phone loophole sooner lol..

There's a few scripts that you can run and it gives you HD calling.

I had no idea this was possible. I thought everyone using Nougat was locked out of hotspot without root regardless of the phone being unlocked. If that's the case, I'd return the Note I ordered from Verizon and just buy it from Bestbuy.
Can anyone confirm if hotspot works on unlocked note 8 without work arounds?
Does it also work on the verizon grandfathered unlimited data plans?
Perfect! That's what I wanted to hear.
Just ordered mine.

Could you please expand on this? How do I get to these menus? What exactly am I setting once I'm on these menus?
Get the app shortcut master and click menu and tap app explore and look for ims settings click launch scroll down to ims activity and launch it and look for the screen in previous post
I did my best for a mini tutorial. The app is called shortcut master

For users in the "New" Verizon Unlimited plan, would an unlocked phone bypass the 15GB limit on hotspot before they throttle you to 3G?
I know this is for verizon but I used the shortcut app and went to settings then RadioInfo and found this:
