Thread: AT&T changes tethering/data plan!!!

Yay.. oh wait.. I still have unlimited. Oh wait, so does Verizon lol.

I have unlimited too but hey its better for those who need tethering

I really wish ATT would allow me to keep my unlimited plan and add tethering even if the tethering had a cap

First, the unlimited package you have is for your phones use, not tethering...unless you have rooted the phone and are using the mobile hotpot feature in froyo, or are using a tethering app from somewhere other than the Death Star. Second, your unlimited package is not unlimited. It has a 5GB cap. I know, I still have one as well and I have read the fine print. Many providers do the same thing...advertise a package as unlimited, and then cap it via a Fair use policy. It should be made illegal, IMHO, as I fail to see how it is not false advertising. Having said this, I havent actually checked the policy in s few months, so maybe it has changed (probably not to our benefit, if it has).
