so I have a friend who has an iPhone 5. I hate iPhones and all the backwards crap they come with, including the retarded iTunes, BUT I want to help my friend with internet since she doesn't have it as of now and already paying for her television bill through the roof. on top of that, she has a phone bill close to $200 with everything unlimited. I was going to jailbreak her iPhone and get Cydia to create a Hotspot, so she could get free unlimited WiFi on her laptop. But she told me that she doesn't want to get caught if it's illegal, and would rather pay for real internet if that's the case. But the thing is, AT&T has this "new" technology (firewire), that they charge you for their "new" router they give you that cost $200. this is JUST TO GET THEM IN YOUR HOUSE. My uncle tried to get internet last year, and this same thing happened. so he backed out, as he only uses internet for Skype. I think it's just an excuse to make TONS of money off of their customers, as they don't even use Firewire wires, but just regular Cat5/6 cables. and Comcast is way more expensive.
so, is it illegal to be doing this? why do so many people put youtube videos like it's not a big deal. they even say that 'your company would never find out or know the difference'. I am assuming because they think that you are surfing the web on your phone opposed to your computer? just looking for answers. would appreciate feedback from anyone with knowledge and experience.
btw, what is this called for Android? is it rooting your device opposed to jailbreaking it? i only have an Android tablet so far. planning on getting an Android phone soon.
