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.
Ummm. I use the hotspot on my Android and iPhone fairly regularly. Didn’t have to root or jailbreak anything. Just turn on and go. Both on Verizon.
Are you sure there isn’t some setting you aren’t enabling first??
Some really stingy providers remove the hotspot option from their customised Android ROM, and on iOS they throttle packets not originating from the mobile device itself
The ToS for whatever phone plan the customer picks usually covers this from what I’ve seen
Today I Learned.
Didn’t even know that was a thing anymore. Something to keep in mind. Thanks for the heads-up.
