Foxfi on Verizon-Issued Phone Has Stopped working on Other Mobile Networks?

[dbisko]

I have seen all over the internet how Foxfi has stopped working on Verizon's network sometime over the last several days. I am currently on a business trip in Japan using a local Japan SIM card (NTT Docomo) in my Verizon-Issued Phone (Samsung Galaxy S5). Up until this past weekend, Foxfi was working fine to tether here in Japan on the NTT Docomo network. However, it has stopped working on the NTT Docomo network a few days ago with the message "Mobile number not found".

Is it possible that if Verizon did something to disable FoxFi tethering on their network, they also did something that prevents it from working all together (even on other carrier's networks)?

Might I direct you to the discussion in the Verizon carrier forum?

Can I move my question there? Or how do I do that?

My Foxfi wifi hotspot stopped working on my Galaxy Note 3 and also Note 4. The usb tether option still works to connect to my pc.
