AT&T aims to cease unauthorized tethering, says “Stop or pay”

19 March, 2011
We've got some bad news to the iPhone users that found a way around the AT&T no-tethering-without-a-plan policy with a jailbreak. Apparently the carrier has detected the violators of its policy...

Lets be fair!! if they have stated that to use tethering you must have a specific plan and now have managed to detect the people who are not abidding to this, then you should just be thankful you got away with it for the last 3 years!!!

Plus, by doing this, you have already broken your contractual agreement. Boo Hoo!!

      I illegally tether my cheap Nokia on the 3 network and only pay 25% of their real legal price.

          rediculous!
          ATT is fing up big by been all enal about their data its
          bad!
          they might find out how much youre using if you go over 2-3GB a month, they might flag your acount and or if you download a lot of GB's is certain amount of hours or min. also if the phone its debranded (android) the network will; show unknown phone so yeah. fk you att

                  wow that sucks...

                  Wonder if they can still detect that your computer is using it if you use a wireless hotspot(such as those on android phones?)
