Anyone using there att gs2 as hotspot ?

Can it be done? Do I need tethering plan or will it work from my data?

Thanks, Mad_Monk, what did you have to do on the sgs2, to get it to work.

Gophone accounts do not allow for tethering. You will need an contract account with hot spot plan for that service. You own data having bought the 500 mb, but AT&T does have restrictions on the way the data can be used. One restiction is tethering.

I tried on my gsII with the gophone acount and can't tether either.

Hi, Cattledog. We meet again. Lol.

Yes, so its keeps telling me. Lol
I really don't need to, just wanted to see if I could. I can and do use my phone for any internet, I need, when away from home and wifi.
I am enjoying my phone. Thanks.

Shoot. Root you're phone, then download barnacle off of 4 shared. Works flawlessly.

You will most likly find if you have
a baged phone (phone supplied
by network) they will place their
own tethering restrictions.

Unfortunately the Barnacle doesn't work for the latest ICS SPH-D710.FE16_CL579416 ROM.
