Until recently I was able to tether to my Windows 8 phone on PTel mobile (T-mobile MVNO.)
Now, I'm skunked, likely because of t-mobile's recent plan changes on their pre-paid plans. (When I called PTel to ask what was up they replied shocked, since they don't even offer tethering, had no idea I could do it until recently.)
I'm in a lot of coffee shops and other places that don't have wifi, and need a local solution. I only really need 1 GB per month (no videos or heavy duty streaming, just looking up info on web pages.) and would like to do it as cheaply as possible. I would like that speed to be at least 4G however, 3G is too painful. Though I don't need super download speeds either.
I have a second T-mobile pre-pay phone, any chance of just hooking that up to a data plan via T-mob? Other thoughts? I don't mind a second cheap phone using another provider, just for hotspot use.
Thanks!
