Tethering W US Cellular

Seen some information that if you tethered your phone that US C would cancel your account is there any truth to that? I pay for unlimited data a month so I don't see the problem.
Don't forget to check your cinch!

This a RIM/BlackBerry forum... you would need US Cellular to answer that.
But remember, for most service providers now, unlimited is not "unlimited, and cap the "unlimted" at 5gb or so.
Many have contract provisions against tethering, or have an additional tethering plan.

  • Why I am forced to use wifi instead of cellular connection?

    I got very slow wifi connection tethered from another cellular connection to workaround this annoying feature that I cannot download os updates etc. Directly and fast with my ipad cellular connection. Why doesn't ios give that option?

    Apple policy - probably for many reasons.
    Cellular connection plans often have monthly bandwidth limits.
    Hitting the limit might either result in hefty charges or the speed to be reduced to a trickle. 
    Anyhting over 50 Mb will not download over a cellular connection on iOS.
    On iOS7 the cellular download threshold seems to be lifted to 100Mb over a cellular connection. (Over The Air - OTA)

  • IPhone 5 - Personal Hotspot setting not on my phone.

    I have a iPhone 5 iOS 6.01 on Tesco pay monthly.
    I have never had the personal hotspot option anywhere on the phone, not in general settings, the bit at the top or Internet tethering in the cellular options.
    I have looked at lots of forums and tried resetting the network settings about 8 times. I don't use the app "Onvao" app thingy. Im just suprised that it's not in any of the settings.
    Here are some photos of how its not there.
    I am lost to why this has happened and am wondering if there are any steps I can take to rectify this?
    Thanks, MrVisneski.

    No - if the carrier doesn't support it, the UI deletes the option entirely from the phone which is why it won't show up for you.
    I have a '3' SIM and an O2 one and if I put in the O2 SIM the option completely disappears just like yours is showing, so your phone is behaving as expected.

  • IO6 Personal Hotspot keeps dissappearing

    Just installed IO6 onto my iPhone 4S and having trouble tethering my phone to my laptop.  Its says it connects then about 5 seconds later it turns it self off? anyone having the same problem with tethering?

    general  - cellular - cellular data network - scroll down to internet tethering fill the APN entry space with the same you have filled for your cellular data apn.
    now just turn on and off the cellular data by just toggling . the problem will be solved.
    first reset ur ineternet settings and then only yu do the above .

  • Setting Up Tethered Bluetooth Cellular Connection?

    Can anyone point me to a resource for setting up a tethered bluetooth net connection using my cell phone? I have a Sony W580i which has bluetooth, AT&T's data service, and a brand new MacBook Pro (15"). I have not been able to find anything conclusive about setting up a cellular connection. It doesn't seem like a very intuitive process. Is it even possible?
    Thanks in advance,
    Jim

    It is possible, I tether my Blackberry 8800 to my MBP. I honestly can't remember how I did it though, for Tiger there was loads of info on the net, and you had to use a bluetooth script specifically for the phone. I think that changed with Leopard. here's what I have in my Bluetooth settings for the Blackberry: (case sensitive)
    Telephone number: wap.cingular
    Account name: [email protected]
    Password: CINGULAR1
    under advanced:
    Modem tab:
    Vendor: other
    Model: Blackberry 8800
    Again I think I may have installed a script, but I can't be sure. Try these settings and play around with it, be sure you have dialup networking enabled in the Bluetooth preferences for your phone.

    There is no Internet Tethering option under settings>cellular data on my iPad3. I am using BSNL 3G on my iPad.  The options under settings>cellular data are:
    Cellular data
    Data Roaming

    Is there any solution to turn on wifi hotspot?

    You might have better luck contacting your carrier - is this a feature they support?

  • Tethering vs Cellular

    Is there much of a significant speed difference on the iPad 2 between tethering it to an iPhone hotspot or using it on the 3g cellular network for internet access ??
    Thanks,
    richie

    At most, you would have an insignificant increase in latency.  The 3G (or 4G for that matter) connection is substantially slower than the wifi link between the iPhone and the iPad, so your overall connection speed will be (to first order) the slower of the two.

  • Is the new i-pad air 2 without cellular capable of being tethered to i-phone?

    Is the new i-pad air 2 without cellular capable of being tethered to i-phone?

    Yes but I use a Wifi dongle you can run upto 5 devices at once on a contract or pay and go I use mine for holidays Hope this helps. Bsydd uk

  • I wish to use my new ipad regularly as a sat nav in my car. Would I definitely need a cellular ipad for this or would tethering between my iphone and ipad work?

    I wish to use my ipad regularly as a sat nav in my car. Would I definitely need a cellular Ipad or would tethering between my iphone and ipad work just as well ?

    I would suggest that u get the cellular wifi model because it has a built in gps when there is no cellular coverage the gps will still work as it gets it signal directly off the satellite when ur tethering your phone to your iPad on the wifi model only  I'm not too sure if it will work if u have no cellular coverage someone may more info on this subject.

  • Possible Internet Tethering/Battery Life Issue

    When either Cellular Data is turned Off, or Airplane Mode is turned On, Internet Tethering (Settings>General>Network) appears to have some process that runs continually in the background (evident by continuously spinning wheel next to the option). The running process has a demonstratively negative impact on battery life (1/3 reduction in ~ 30 mins). The Apple Genius at my local Apple Store and I verified the issue on numerous iPhone 4s that were on display. Turning Cellular Data On and ensuring the phone is not in Airplane Mode stops the activity. But obviously that defeats the purpose of having those options.
    So if you are experiencing poor battery life, this might be your issue.

    Could this be causing the unexplained usage and data transfer? I have been trying to find what is causing this. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2603718&tstart=0

  • Rogers 920 on T-Mobile Tethering Not Working

    Hello,
    I bought an unlocked Rogers CA Nokia 920.3 device with pentaband support for use on the T-Mobile network. I entered the APN settings for MMS and internet manually and everything works fine except the internet sharing only works some of the time and other times I get the error "There's no cellular data connection to share right now" even if there is cellular availability. The internet on the phone is fully functional, just not the sharing. I have an unlimited plan with tethering on T-Mobile and should not be having this problem.
    I have so far tried the spanish keyboard trick and the foreign SIM configuration trick and they work some of the time but only temporarily. I have tried installing access point which ends up taking me to T-Mobiles website to add tethering (even though I already have it), so that does not work.
    Long story short, the access point application does not set up the phone for proper tethering on T-Mobile and the stock unlocked Rogers ROM does not work consistently. AP needs to be updated and fixed or some other setting somewhere else in the phone is awry. Is there another ROM I can use and keep pentaband support with tethering? Please advise.
    Thank you,
    Chris

    Bump, bump, bump. Add unlocked 1020 and retail Lumia 1020 (from a Microsoft Store) to this list. This is definitely a T-Mobile problem, but someone from Microsoft/Nokia needs to make them fix it.

  • ASA 5505 & VPN Cellular connection

    We have a ASA 5505 setup with VPN and using Cisco client 5.0. The VPN works without a problem if we use normal internet access (from home, motel, etc). However if we use a cellular wi-fi hotspot or tether a phone it will connect to the vpn but will not allow us to get on the office network. Anyone have this problem or know a solution

    Hello greentw1972,
    I have ran in to this issue several times. This is mainly caused by Cisco VPN client's compatibility issues with the 3G-Dongle/Tethering-device. I have seen several workarounds for this but the best one I have found is to use a Open source vpn client.
    I have used Shrewsoft VPN client and it has worked nicely without any issues so far
    Find the links below for further information.
    The 3rd link will show you how exactly you need to transfer information from Cisco VPN client to Shrewsoft client.

  • Airport Extreme - creating a wired local network from a cellular hotspot without ethernet ports?

    Forgive the book I've written below, please. I generally think too much info is better than not enough... I'm looking for assistance and/or suggestions since I have been unable to locate solutions on my own so far. Searching this forum has found a great number of "sort-of" related things, but all of them so far appear to involve apple-only hardware or upstream network devices which have ethernet ports. Nothing that seems to match my situation enough to extrapolate out. Maybe I'm just using the wrong keywords. Anyway....
    I've recently moved to a particularly rural area with no wired internet access to speak of (well, I suppose there is dial-up, but... yeah). I've tried several different wireless varieties including satellite, the AT&T Elevate 4G hotspot and a service that used an EVDO-cellular solution(a sprint-based reseller).  The former had serious latency issues which I had predicted and so was right-out. The last had signal coverage problems which their maps did not accurately reveal. Their potential mitigation was to have me invest even more money into a super-mega antenna to be roof-mounted. And even that was an uncertain fix. The AT&T solution with the 4G hotspot has been AMAZING so far and I love it. Coverage is great, latency and bandwidth fantastic.
    I love it but for one exception, that is. Connectivity options.
    There is a particularly limited number of WiFi connections available and only a USB network adapter for a single computer. None of my wired-only network devices can connect directly and I have significantly more WiFi connected devices in general use than the device supports.
    I have an Airport Extreme that I was using as my primary connection point through a FiOS router at my previous home(and both the satellite and EVDO modems at the new place). Never had any problems with it when feeding its WAN port with one of the various routers' LAN ports. However, as has been evident by reading all sorts of posts here and elsewhere, having it connect via WiFi to the Elevate means that the ethernet ports are disabled. Not terribly useful.
    The Elevate has no ethernet ports. Only WiFi and USB network connectivity.
    The Elevate does not appear to have settings available to create a WDS network-- so it cannot be "Extended" via those methods, either, as far as I am able to tell.
    So these are some thoughts I've had. Before I invest the time and money into them(both of which are in extremely short supply lately), I'd like to know if anyone else has already solved the issue or can tell me definitively whether these ideas, or some I haven't thought of, will or won't work. Any helpful feedback or thoughts would be sincerely appreciated.
    Options I've considered, but are uncertain:
    -A Wifi/Ethernet or even ethernet-only router which has a USB WAN uplink(I've had a few bites on searching, but nobody seems 100% clear on the capability for the models I've located). I could plug the Elevate into that USB port and then from there I'm golden. If this is the best option, then can someone recommend a brand/model that they know will work in this way?
    -WiFi Access Point (Airport Express, maybe?) that will connect to the elevate via WiFi, and then use its single Ethernet port to serve as the APExtreme's WAN uplink. (I don't know if this will work at all, actually...)
    -Connect to the computer via USB, run some kind of network bridging software (which I don't know what the heck that would be) to bridge between the USB Network and the Ethernet port, then run a hard wire from there to the APExtreme's standard ethernet WAN uplink. This is going to be a "last resort" option since it involves software I'm unfamiliar with, even unsure of availability for Mac, and requires the computer to be running and configured properly at all times. Given the way my kids abuse a computer, I can't be certain of anything involving this option.
    -Some secret method of turning on WDS capabilities in the Elevate which would then allow my existing base station to become a second node in the chain. I really wish someone could tell me this is possible if only I'd push the right buttons. I see this is as the absolute best option, if it can be done. Cheapest, anyway.
    Current set-up:
    AT&T Elevate 4G hotspot
    WiFi connected devices(rotating since Wifi connection count is limited): Mac PC, 2 iPads, 3 iPhones, Apple TV, a Nokia mini-tablet, a Kindle fire, Wii, XBox 360, an old dell laptop issued by my office.
    Apple Aiport Extreme base station
    Wired connections: blueray player, television, satellite TV pay-per-view uplinky device thing.
    Please, tell me your thoughts?

    Had the same issue here.  Here is the best solution I have found so far:
    Hotspot + Pepwave Max On-The-Go (w/ Load Balancing) + Airport Extreme
    I have a VZW MiFi, but I believe this set-up will work with other hotspot devices.  I actually have 2 MiFi Hotspots with a monthly allowance of 20G each.  They are plugged directly into the Pepwave router (aka, tethered).  (Note:  you have to have the right cable to do this.  The one that came with my Hotspot was only for charging.)  If, for some reason, you cannot tether with your Hotspot device, you want a router that offers WiFi as WAN.  The Pepwave will do this.  The Pepwave is connected to my Airport Extreme via ethernet cable.  I have the WiFi on the MiFis and the Pepwave turned off.  So the only visible network is my Airport Extreme.  The Pepwave is essentially just functioning as a modem.
    I used to have a Cradlepoint, but I did not find it very user friendly--too complex for home use.  The Pepwave Max OTG is awesome.  I got the one with Load Balancing so it allows you to connect up to 4 cellular devices.  If you only need the one Hotspot, you can just get the cheaper Pepwave Max OTG.  The Pepwave allows me to run off one of the MiFis until I hit my 20G/month allowance, then it automatically switches to the other one.  That way I never max-out on my monthly data allowance.  Additionally, it gives you a real-time, hourly, daily and monthly running tally on data usage.
    The guys at the 3Gstore are excellent and can help you figure out the best solution for your situation.

  • Need to know what cell carriers/phones support bluetooth tethering

    I had the MotoQ9C for about a year and was using it (OS Windows Mobile 6.0) to tether with my macbook with no problems. However, the phone went belly up and they sent me a replacement. It had the 6.1 OS. Well, it no longer worked with the Macbook after that. So aggrivating. After much discussion with my cell carrier, Alltel, they let me out of my contract a year and a half early because this is a feature I MUST have with my phone and they claimed to have no OS and no phones which would support it.
    SO, now I am on the hunt for a new service provider and a new phone. I have to be able to tether with my Mac. Have to. I was using it on a daily basis before I was sent the new phone and I am beyond annoyed that I suddenly can't do it anymore. The Alltel sup basically told me, "good luck" when I asked if she knew of any providers who DID support the Mac/phone tethering. She said she didn't know of any herself and she's been in the industry to 6 years. Ugh.
    So, I know it can be done but I need help finding out how, who and where. If anyone is able to tether with their phone, could you please send me info on who you're using, what phone and how to set it up??? I'm on the hunt and need this info yesterday. : )
    Thanks in advance!

    AT&T is correct (and donv doesn't seem to understand 'tethering' in this context) - tethering is currently not supported with the iPhone - not via USB nor Bluetooth. The iPhone itself is capable of tethering (either BT or USB) and can be used like that with carriers in other countries. AT&T may decide to support tethering via the iPhone at some point in the future, and will likely charge the same as they do for their other smartphones - an additional $30/month on top of the data plan.
    So at the present time, the iPhone is not what you're looking for. But, any carrier with a device that supports tethering on their network will work with the MBP (phones from Nokia, Samsung, etc., BlackBerrys, whatever, from Verizon, AT&T, etc.).
    @donv - "Tethering" means using a cell phone as a wireless modem to connect your Mac to the internet. The iPod Touch lacks a cellular radio, so tethering is moot.

  • HT2497 How can I connect my MacBook Pro using my personal cellular 'hotspot'?

    I am a brandnew user of MacBook Pro (iOS 10.8 Mountain Lion) and am clueless!!  I've never used anything but Windows OS's.  I am attempting to connect to the internet using my cellular phone's 'hotspot'....no connection.  I then tried to connect via tethering, using the USB cable between the phone & the Mac....still not connection.  The phone "sees" the Mac, but the Mac is not "seeing" the phone.  Is there something in the computer's settings I need to change??  Thanks for any & all input!!

    Plug it in. Choose the right HDMI port for the input in the TV's menu system (cosult the TV's manual as needed). Choose the TV as the audio output device in the Output tab of the Sound pane of System Preferences. You should be all set.
