What Verizon's FCC tethering settlement means to you (FAQ) | Mobile - CNET News
This may be old news to some of you, but by the substantial amount of misinformation that is being posted here on this topic, it is very clear that more than a few posters on these forums haven't read this. As you can see, if you are on a 4G LTE capped (tiered) data plan, VZW cannot legally charge you for using an app that allows your 4G LTE phone to be a mobile hot spot for other devices.
In fact, VZW had to pay a fine for pressuring Google to remove apps from its playstore that have this functionality.
Now if you are so foolish with your money to pay VZW for the mobile hotspot feature when they cannot legally charge you for using these apps, well, you know what they say - a fool and his money are soon parted.
