It’s my goddamn motherfucking mobile data and MY PHONE. I should be able to use it however I want. My wifi went down because the greedy, cunt-faced shitbags at Comcast stole taxpayer subsidies to enrich themselves instead of actually providing the service we’re paying for. I tried to switch to a mobile hotspot and my phone refuses to open one. Everyone responsible for this shit should be fed to alligators locked away in a fucking gulag. We have no rights and live in a corporate plutocracy.
So I figured out a while ago there there’s an app called PdaNet+ along with Foxfi. It let’s you use your phones mobile connection instead of a hotspot to connect your external devices. It’s worked wonders for me and although I haven’t had to use it much due to unlimited data and access to wifi where I am, it’s useful if you aren’t in that situation. I believe the app key unlocker is about $8 but it’s worth it for the features it offers.
PdaNet used to work for me years ago, but more recently it fails to work on T-Mobile.
It’s frustrating since I rarely need a hotspot, but when I do I really need it.
Heck yesss, this is how I got my laptop online for months while visiting family a few years back and it works great.
