Kills me how people think they can tell someone with unlimited data and unlimited tether that they pay for that they can't use it.

Brings a joyful tear to my eye lol.

How dare you use what you pay for when you want and how you want? You're supposed to just use 10 gigs a month.

Why get unlimited anything then?
[HTC Rezound] dragonrazorz:
Lol i used 30gb last month
[HTC Rezound] edc2:
Really got it still? Unlimited? Lucky you :/
[HTC Rezound] mac208x:
Got my account 2 days ago when i called in they wouldmt let me get the unlimited hotspot coz you gotta be grandfathered into the unlimited data. Any ideas? Keep calling?
[HTC Rezound] chakra:
I would try again. Dont make a big deal of it on the phone, start by making some small talk, then just ask for the 4G hotspot for 30$, then when they find it ask , is that the unlimited one? then dont say anything else about unlimited data and just get it. I think it may work best if you have the two gigs for 30$ plan, because thats the same amount on screen as the unlimited plan so they may just not catch the dif.
[HTC Rezound] jordanetodd:
The plan code is no longer available. Guess its too late for this loophole.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
I just cancelled my hotspot last night. Guess we'll see if they revert the line back to the double data 4gb.

The hotspot sucks, and so does wifi tether for me. I can pull down speed tests of 10-20gb down and 4-10gb up, but when using the hotspot or wireless tether, my speeds are slower, especially the uploads haven't been over 500kbps since I've been trying it out.

My time warner hotpsot might not be that fast on wimax, but its much more consistent and I can stream 2 devices without problem.

Those that are bragging about your tethering speeds, is that using it with usb/ or the actually hotspot, wireless tether?
[HTC Rezound] Thadrow:
Yeah, that happens to me too. Its weird , why does that happen?

Speed test on phone is 20mbps, on comp/ps3 8mb, not bad at all not complaining but anyone why that happens ?
[HTC Rezound] brisdaddy1207:
I wanted to apologize for my rant and language, I know it offended some and because I was in a bad mood I took it out on the people who help me the most. I'm very very sorry and I know this has nothing to do with the thread but this is where I wasn't being so nice. And hope some can forgive as I really need you guy's and women in my life you all have helped me in so many different way's. I promise to keep my mouth shut if I have nothing useful to add. And when I say you've helped me I mean in more ways then one. Saving me a lot of money to helping me not destroying a very expensive phone, plus you've all have been really nice to me. Plus I wouldn't know anything about software, hardware, and everything in between. So all I really wanted to say was I'm truly sorry.
[HTC Rezound] fallenangel408:
thank u this means a lot if not to other readers to us moderators this is VERY GOOD sign indeed :D
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
Its not the download speeds that are a concern, its the less than 1mb uploads that are killer.
[HTC Rezound] bnguyen1983:
Wifi tether, updating WoW right now at 2 MB/s.

Upload speeds off of speedtest.net says 7 Mbps
[HTC Rezound] Grims:
I've noticed wifi tether can be very slow if too close to another AP, regardless of channel settings.
[HTC Rezound] bblanski:
Still works!!! Just asked for the $30 hotspot feature and they did the rest. I have done this on 2 lines now and no problems each time
[HTC Rezound] ajftl:
Got it when tbolt came out. Wooohoooo
[HTC Rezound] blestsol:
That's what's up!
[HTC Rezound] mac208x:
Did this about a week ago and still got unlimited but I kept the hot spot just in case I will remove it next billing cycle. Called in like 3 times to confirm my features they never said anything that u can't have unlimited coz I started my contract about 1.5 weeks ago. I love loop holes. Att has a unlimited data loop too.
[HTC Rezound] chakra:
I knew it was still working, I can just hear how these people who are getting turned down are calling in.

Here are two wrong ways to do it.

1. Hi, I am calling to add feature code 112334242, its the unlimited data hotspot feature thats suposed to make it so I can have unlimited data even though I am not supposed to have it, will you add it for me?

2. Hi I want that Hotspot loophole that lets me get unlimited data even though I dont qualify for the loophole can you help me?

I even read one reply where the guy calling said to the rep "Hi I am calling to get the unlimited data hook up, am I to late?" :)

Crazy people.

OH and ATT did close their loophole, you can no longer activate origional iphones.
[HTC Rezound] billygoat555:
What ATT loophole is that? The one where you have to activate a 2G iPhone, etc?
[HTC Rezound] mac208x:
Yes
[HTC Rezound] cylic:
just did this today. still works. 8th call. code 76153 seemed to work for the guy I talked to.
[HTC Rezound] 4ktvs:
When I first did this I was very happy with it, but now I am fealing like a fool. I am starting to think going by-be with out ETF some way some how.

I have used $ in dumb ways before but this may be in the top 3 soon to be #1.

To every one else I hope you like it and I know that I seem like a AT&T fan, but I am not. I am a it "needs to work" fan and The big RED has failed me more in 30 days than AT&T did in 180.
[HTC Rezound] zharptitza:
I'm the exact opposite. At my office with AT&T I couldn't get 1 meg downloads consistently on their "fauxG" network. I work across the street from one of their antennas. I switch to Verizon and at first I could only get 3g, but it was the same speed as AT&T was for me, so I was find. A week later they did some work on the antenna. Turns out it was Verizon LTE coming. Now I get 20 meg down.

I still have unlimited from this trick, and now I have much better speeds. Haven't had any of the drops I had with AT&T in my area either.

I think all of the carriers have areas where they aren't as good as others. The trick is just finding the one that works for you. Funny enough 6 years ago when I dropped Verizon they were worse in my area, so you just never know.
[HTC Rezound] mpossoff:
Does this still work?
[HTC Rezound] malice9005:
I had att before this and at work I had full bars the tower is litteraly behind my work I can walk right up to it and the fastest I got on fauxG was 4 megs. just got Verizon and I only get like 2 bars at work but I still get 18 meg downloads. I'm going to try this tonight I got the 4gb special and I already used 90% end of my billing date is on the 12th. Hopefully this works out I will be a happy person.
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
Lol, ATT service is absolutely horrible where I work (VZ works great)

A few years ago, my boss switched our entire VZ corporate account to ATT (186 phones) because his Wife wanted an iPhone. I have never heard so much *****ing in my life. I kept my phone on VZ because I wanted it to work and I had no desire for an iPhone.

It was real easy to tell who had ATT service, they where the guys standing over by the window turning their phones at all different angles trying to get service. I could always tell when my boss was in his office because every single call would go directly to voice mail.

I did it on 12/5/11 so that was not the 30th. But any ways I hope LTE is better than AT&T's H+ for the rest of you. I have been kicking myself for 2-3weeks now. This week is #1 on the pissing me off list this year.
[HTC Rezound] antawnm26:
Even, though I'm with verizon and got the unlimited data after switching from att's unlimited data, I will say that att's data is much faster hands down...3g on a regular iphone hits 7mbs consistently...So, imagine what their 4g will be....
[HTC Rezound] Skizzy034:
It's my understanding that LTE for both companies is the same technology. It was the 3g that is a different technology, gsm/cdma where gsm was a better and newer technology than cdma.

Correct me if I'm wrong

Sent from my 2.0GHz Quad Core G1
[HTC Rezound] sway40:
I think your spot on, verizons 3g is older that's why they have more coverage where att's is newer but as I can't stand att I'll live. It's not that much faster like it is over sprint where their 3g is so damn slow id have to turn on 4g to just be where verizons 3g is at.

~ Sent from my Galaxy Nexus running Cm9~
[HTC Rezound] antawnm26:
Thats true but my point was that if you can hit 7mbs on a 3g phone imagine what it would be on a cell phone with a 4g signal....It is what it is...I wasnt speaking of coverage which verizon is the clear winner..but data speed
[HTC Rezound] bobbysteels216:
I already got it.
[HTC Rezound] sway40:
Your telling me you just got unlimited data through that loophole, just now.
[HTC Rezound] EmerikL:
I am going to have disagree completely with this statement. 3g on ATT was horrible. It was one of the reasons that I left that company, besides the fact of "No bars, in more places".
[HTC Rezound] lordkaosu:
Two others got it just a couple days ago so it still seems good.
[HTC Rezound] dpiddy14:
I am just wondering, if all these people are say verizon will switch you back, how are they going to approach this. Are they going to do it without notification. If so would that void your contract with them because they are changing your service without your knowledge and permission. You got the unlimited because you authorized them to add it to to your account. This would be like them cutting your minutes in half because they feel you don't deserve and need the extra minutes. The 4g hot spot is a feature that can be added or dropped at anytime. You can do it online in your account. Unlimited data isn't a feature, its part of your plan. Just a thought and we will see in the future if the unlimited sticks or not but I have a feeling it will stick.
[HTC Rezound] Evo4gLI:
Can't hurt to try though...worst they can do is put you back on what you had before....no harm done.
[HTC Rezound] dpiddy14:

[HTC Rezound] k8826324:
Guys if you have a 4GB plan, just tell them you want to add mobile hotspot feature online but you can't. They will then add you into unlimited plan.

I was curious why this would happen, so I log onto my verizon and try to add 4g hotspot to the line that ha a 4GB cap. I clicked on add 4g hotspot and I couldn't.

It popped out a window telling me that I have to call customer service to upgrade my plan to unlimited. I called after that, and the rep didn't even ask a thing. The only thing he says that is that he will need to add me into unlimited plan, and ask me if its OK. In my mind, I was like, hell yah, of course I am OK with it!!!

So in short, on the feature page adding 4g hotspot, it says that if you want to add

this feature, you need to have a unlimited plan. Which just call in and they have no choice but to add it for you. You don't even need to tell them that you need unlimited hotspot data. Just tell them to add 4g hotspot, they will add unlimited for you. For those of you don't trust me, log on verizon under add feature. You can clearly see the requirement of adding 4g hotspot(tell me for tab), which is unlimited data plan.

Once you cancel it, the unlimited plan sticks. And I don't think they can do anything about it, since you request to add 4g hotspot, but you can't. And you call rep.. blablabla! This is actually their own mistake

so I don't think they could do anything. Just my opinion though..
[HTC Rezound] JAYNO20:
The accounts are audited for stuff exactly like this, when your account comes up on their screen they will see you aren't supposed to have unlimited and WILL remove it. I have seen it happen on accounts where reps who didn't know added it and had it removed later by the offline audit team. It happens, so don't get used to unlimited data by doing this.

Hope this works next week when my phone comes in.

[HTC Rezound] dukins:
My 2 cent. For those of you who already have unlimited data on your phone, Verizon will add unlimited 4g hotspot for $30 bucks. That's just the other side of the coin. Maybe in Verizon's system right now unlimited hot spot has to see an unlimited plan, but i've been wrong before. Take it with a grain of salt. :rolleyes:
[HTC Rezound] dpiddy14:
That's why people are getting the unlimited data. You need the unlimited data for the unlimited 4g hotspot to be added.
[HTC Rezound] jalin725:
Is that in addition to what we pay for unlimited or $30 bucks total for both?
[HTC Rezound] Evo4gLI:
Exactly...when she tried to add the hotspot to my 4 GB plan, it wouldn't go, but then she changed me to unlimited data, and it worked.
[HTC Rezound] dukins:
No it's $30 for each. Total $60 for unlimited everything.
[HTC Rezound] dpiddy14:
+1 ya its $30 for both. That's way. I said to go on line and remove the hotspot. It will credit you back the $30 from the hot spot but still leave you with unlimited data.
[HTC Rezound] Thadrow:
In addition.
[HTC Rezound] Geoi1006:
I've tried twice now and I'm not seeing the option on the website for the 4GB hotspot plan
[HTC Rezound] k8826324:
It is under change feature.

Or do they remove it already?
[HTC Rezound] Geoi1006:
Think it's caught. Oh well, nice lil addition to my phone anyways. I grabbed the 6GB hotspot.
[HTC Rezound] pagereborn:
Tried didn't work for me good luck for people that got it working
[HTC Rezound] Evo4gLI:
You guys didn't read the OP...you can get unlimited if you call them...why would you want 6 GB if you can have unlimited?
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
I think you are right about it needed to see the umlimited plan and maybe that's why she couldn't find it for me and had to put me on hold. She probably had to add it.

Not for me!

I had already signed up for a $20 hotspot plan to get my Amazon gift card so she told me it was going to cost me $10 more per month, I said that's fine. Then at the end she told me that she added the unlimited hotspot and that I now had unlimited email and web as well. My plan is the 450 min/4gb (or is it 2gb but I'm getting 4gb due to their double data promo?) and she told me my price was only going up $10 more. :)
[HTC Rezound] bobbysteels216:
No. You ask me to try it and I told you that I already did (a month ago). That's all.
[HTC Rezound] bobbysteels216:
Haha didn't think of that. Generally it was "Less bars in more places" for me until I went indoors, then it was "No bars in more places."

...unless I went to Walmart.
[HTC Rezound] Khayos:
Just called today to finally get a replacement for the 3,8v battery, asked if the $30 unlimited hotspot plan feature code "76153 was still available, & now it's turned on & my bill is cheaper than it was. :)
[HTC Rezound] taxi333:
I just called and the guy who I talked to told me that it wasn't possible , I gave him the feature code (76153) .... does anyone know if this is still possible ?
[HTC Rezound] bblanski:
Did you just try asking for the $30 hotspot. Don't ask or say anything about unlimited ..
[HTC Rezound] taxi333:
I just called again and it is still possible :D , but you are not gonna be able to remove the hotspot feature =/ ... 2/8/2012

I just asked for the hotspot feature and the lady automatically told me that she was going to change me to the Unlimited data plan
[HTC Rezound] bblanski:
Did she say you couldn't remove it? I just took it off online.
[HTC Rezound] mwalt2:
Now I need to decide if I want to get the double data promotion starting Friday since I just switched to Verizon or take my chances on how long unlimited data will last using this method. hmmm
[HTC Rezound] jdfrye:
Same here.

So our big concern is...Will the Unlimited stick?
[HTC Rezound] 4ktvs:
I know a guy who works for them and it should stick, becouse they don't want to piss any one off. I don't hold that kind of hope for them, becouse I have been droping data for the last 30+ days and IT PISS'S ME OFF. ( There I got it off)

P.S Battary is dead right now too and I was out at a place and it mess up big time. ( I made a vid, but will not upload it the way it is now.)

[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
Everyone still good who did this? I have unlimited but my line I have the nexus on was originally a Xoom so it is tired 4GB. My girlfriend never goes over 2 because IUSB wifi is ridiculously fast, just want to ensure I still can do this if need be.
[HTC Rezound] dccoh:
I got mine back in early December and took the hotspot off a half hour later. I'm still on unlimited.
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
I gave my Wife my Droid Charge at the end of November when I got the Rezound (I bought the Rezound after seeing what a piece of garbage the nexus was after waiting 6 months for it)

My Wife had never had data before but I got VZ to put her on the double data tiered plan at 4 gigs. Then I saw this thread.

I decided to try this loophole, not because my Wife would ever go over 4 gigs (I doubt she will ever go over 2 gigs for that matter) but just for piece of mind so I don't have to keep track of her data.

I got the hotspot (took three phone calls even back then), then cancelled it two weeks later. She still has unlimited data, I just checked.

Of all the hundreds of people who have done this, I have never yet heard of a single person who later was switched back to tiered again.

Forgive me if this has been answered before, but I already have unlimited data plan but I was wondering if this is for an unlimited hot spot plan? I would love to have unlimited hot spot plan if that is possible.
[HTC Rezound] mwalt2:
You should be able to get it added on using the plan code. You'll have to pay $30/month for it. I'm sure there are also mods if you're rooted so that you can use it naively without the need to pay for it.
[HTC Rezound] turbojimmy:
Thanks for the reply! I'm gonna give it a shot. It's half of my Comcast bill, and I'm afraid a 3x increase in usage might throw a red flag! Thanks again!

[HTC Rezound] razor2006:
This definitely still works using the plan code. I already had unlimited data on my line with my GNex from before it was eliminated, but I just did this on my fiancee's line (she has my old 'Bolt and previously had 2GB tiered data) and it worked. Cancelled the feature immediately after I got off the phone, and unlimited data stayed.
[HTC Rezound] sway40:
You people must be getting some dumb, out of the loop phone reps bc when I call the plan code def doesn't work and they say this feature is history after a **** load of calls. Too many stories of success here after this hasn't worked for many people.

[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
I still prefer a cable line at home for internet, much more consistent connection.

I had the hotspot on my old thunderbolt until a couple of weeks ago. Gave up due to poor upload speeds on the official app vs wireless tether. So far I am still on umlimited on that line, but will probably dump it in favor of a dumbphone to get rid of another 30 bucks a month.
[HTC Rezound] Deron Baker:
I had unlimited data (grandfathered in) and added Mobile Hotspot to my account last month. My data remained unlimited and, of course, my use of mobile Hotspot is also unlimited. In fact I did this while I still had my Droid Razr and the unlimited data and unlimited Hotspot transfered over to my Rezound.
