I use the stock tether under my unlimited plan. Would only use it seldom though for my tablet or notebook.

Unlimited plan allows up to 2.5gb tethering a month which for that purpose is more than enough for me.

If your just getting that message on your phone that is just a setting for your own info, if you get an upsell screen on a tethered pc or your tethering stops working, then you will know they know lol. I tethered 100's of gigs in a month before they shut me down and I switched over to Foxfi and masked my usage.

Works for me.

Did you get the tether to work and not be discovered?

I am using an unlocked 900T on AT&T's network and it seems to work. Someone told me region lock away fixes that as a side effect. I only ran it to unlock my phone and remove any region locks.

So just to be clear, there's no wifi tether with the stock kernel? I'm trying to avoid tripping the counter for the time being.

Worked great. Thanks OP.

edit:Spoke too soon. Can get tethering started but it won't show up as an available network. What profile are you using? There isn't one for the N3.

well well, dummy me was about to do "de la vega" and just ended up following "qbking77" video to the T and tripped knox. Anyway, since that ship has sailed and there's nothing that could be done about it for now, what exactly does the tether app needs in order to work? I've been using TrevE Mod WiFi Tether for the longest on my GS3 stock rom/rooted. What's the difference with the Note 3?
