WIFI tethering 9810 os 7.1 - GSM-Forum

jstavene · 06-22-2013, 07:36

Hello I have a blackberry 9810 os 7.1 and tried the mobile hotspot (it locks up and says I need to activate it, and to contact att (my provider).

I called att and asked if this feature works on thier network and what would tethering cost to add? (roughly 50 for 5 gig) and then the rep said I would lose my current deal (I was grandfathered, unlimited data and text 500 mins daytime, 500 mins weekend (65) )

I asked is there a way to test this or try it just to confirm it works with my laptop and tablet? I was told no...

The rep then tried to sell me a mifi or sim on a new contract?
Uhm how much junk must I carry with me?

Anyone know how or if its possible to shut off the ATT message and use the hotspot feature anyway? If I switch to another provider do I need to change the OS to their version? Would changing to a tmobile or verizon version block the att message? (appears dialog in service books?) maybe hex edit ??

Thanks!
