Since this phone is unlocked will I be able to turn on the mobile hotspot (verizon) with out extra charges? I'm going to purchase directly from Motorola and move my sim from S5 over.
Yes. Works fine right out of the box. I have Verizon with unlimited data.
Looks like I've been corrected. I thought this was fixed shortly after launch.
No reason for them to charge for tethering any longer. They make their money on data usage. So go ahead and use it up! Even those on unlimited data are now paying something like $20.00 more per month. So if those with unlimited data continue to use multiple gigabytes of data Verizon will either completely discontinue unlimited data, or they will just up the monthly charge for it again. You cannot win when you're up against Big Red!
I had to root, and add a line to the end of the build.prop file
net.tethering.noprovisioning=true
Now it works fine.
