tethering is allowed, I did it already

[JJ16]

My friend has been gettig 3G since yesterday, and actually gettig speeds over 1mbps. We were at the same location and I had slow edge. So I really wonder how this service is being distributed ... Plus he's postpaid also

[firstchoicett]

Not to bad prices .

[JJ16]

Like I told someone yesterday who was saying it would be better to buy it unlocked or out of contract. But really if you pay $7000 for a phone, it's better you pay $2500 get the phone now you have $4500 extra, that's approx 10months of payments, so in all it works out better on contract, plus u got a Bmobile warranty!

Really shocked with the plans they have, can't wait to get one

Are you tethering on an iPhone? Since bmobile sent out a carrier update last year I have lost the mobile hotspot feature on my iPhone 4

[ismithx]

no, I'm doing it on Android using the built-in tethering capacity

Android's built in features allows tethering without the carrier controlling that setting or knowing it's enabled. Apple built their iPhones to only allow wifi tethering when it is enabled by the carrier, usually for an extra cost. The only way around that is to jailbreak it. Not surprised at this. Just another of the many restrictions on iPhones. Apple only out to suck money out of people, and people still buy those stupid phones.

How is an update put out by the carrier an attempt by apple to get more money?

If it is anything it is the carrier you should be upset with as they charge more for tethering option. Apple put that option to turn it on or off at the request of the carrier not because apple charges any extra.

I used to get tethering option initially until a carrier update from TSTT changed that.

you see Apple can use the tethering restriction as a selling point when selling the carrier their phone.

i reiterate my previous point
i prefer to pay more for a service i can use than pay less for something that will never work

[PapaC]

They are on Red 96.7 right now marketing it.
And giving away fro free.

[mojosodope]

Just got off the phone "launching later this week, postpaid customers would have to go into a front office to add the plan, 2G only available to prepaid customers".

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

Postpaid customers have to text to opt in. Will post details here soon.

[warrenc_alexis]

Rep on the phone told me this morning that its not fully launched. Later this week. However, she said that I should be able to activate the 4G over the phone.

[volcanosnowstorm]

It's a trick!! They take away myLime for 4g!! (Did it anyway... figure I can maybe switch back if it's not worth it) 824-TSTT/2/2 and hold...
