This app is identical, but is technically a separate "listing" on Google Play so it isn't blocked. This new WiFi Direct feature in PdaNet 5 allows you to connect WiFi mode from. If the legacy FoxFi feature still works for your phone, it is still the best solution for sharing phone Internet since there is no limit on what kind of devices you can connect.

Wi-Fi, USB, or Bluetooth Tethering Without RootįoxFi is an app that allows you to set up Wi-Fi tethering on most phones. All the below apps do is bypass the additional fee that carriers charge to actually use this data from another device.Ĭarriers say the additional fee is "because people will use more data when tethering." In other words, you've paid for a certain amount of data and the carrier wants to charge you another $10 or $20 because you're more likely to use the data you've already paid for. If you have limited data and go above your allowance, your carrier will charge you extra or throttle you as if you'd used the same amount of data from your phone. The below apps will allow you to use the tethering feature without paying your carrier any additional money, but you'll still have the same data limit you normally would. Root users have more options when it comes to enabling tethering, but even people who don't root can tether. The first method we're covering here doesn't require root. Luckily, there are ways to tether on any Android phone, even if your carrier has disabled tethering. This encourages you to pay up for the privilege of tethering. Android has an integrated tethering feature, but - if you get your phone from directly from a carrier - the carrier has the ability to disable the built-in tethering feature. But your data seems comparable in prices.Carriers generally expect to be paid an additional fee if you want to use your phone's data connection to access the Internet from a laptop, tablet, or other device. US has way more competition and probably hundreds of more choices. I have it here in British Columbia Canada, we get shafted on everything, wish I had a US acct.

I know business is business, but fair business practice would be use what you pay for, weather it's tethering or whatever. I wonder how the legal terms are written, almost sounds like some small print on page 541 section 2 somewhere in their contract.

So their records show users are not peaking the plans, and supplier is saving data usage. But maybe the data plans in general are being under used or not peaked on average so they put these rules in place. Maybe I'm thinking simple they probably charge more for a shared plan yes/no. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Android Central ForumsI can see an issue with unlimited data plans, but a 2 or 5 gig plan, you would think they wouldn't care, and hope a user would go over the plan so they could charge extra. But you do lose the "unlimited" data plan by switching to it, however. What they are failing to tell you is that if you have one of the mobile share plans you can use tethering at no additional cost.
