We made the switch! My wife (Fascinate) and I (Thunderbolt) pre-ordered 2 Galaxy S3's on day one of its availability on Verizon. VERY excited. When I bought my Thunderbolt on day one of it's existence last year it came with a promo free hotspot. A couple months later the phone received an update which should have killed the free promo...but it didn't. Now, almost 1.5 years later, I still have a free Hotspot on my TBolt. My plan doesn't show it, but it works on my phone and I don't get charged. That alone has kept me from switching to a new phone (since technically I could have a while ago since I had a one year contract).
My question is...I really value this free mobile Hotspot tied to my unlimited data. I don't use it all the time but its been REALLY helpful on many occasions and I never get charged for any of its usage. So..Do you think its somehow tied in to that phone, or is a quirk in my contract and it may carry over onto my upcoming S3?
If its the phone I'll keep my TB just for when I need a hotspot. If it also works at no charge on the S3, then I'll gladly sell my TB. It was a great phone...never had the issues others had UNTIL I downloaded the 3rd OTA update and then all of a sudden I had all those issues they were trying to fix with others. Ugh.
Curious.
