It is also sufficient to learn how to “root” a phone (which is grants root admin access on linux-based android so that you can modify it as you please). Note: my phone is a pixel 3 and the guides and searches I found were tailored to this phone, but this guide should be sufficient for any android phone. At some point data is just data.īesides, there are already plenty of phones that enable this functionality regardless of carrier support. A power user already could use more data than the average home network on their phone alone anyway… at a cost that is typically far greater than your average 20/down 10/up home plan. Obviously they could the argument that telecoms need to prevent abuse of instances where users with unlimited data plans use it to provide internet to their whole home network instead of just their phone… but this is a silly argument in my view as the providers could just stop offering “unlimited” plans in the first place if it was a real problem. Rooting is the process of allowing users of the Android mobile operating system to attain privileged control (known as root access) over various Android. It’s a really useful feature and I loathe telecoms artificially disabling it to get a quick buck. I personally figure that if you are paying for the data, a carrier shouldn’t be able to tell you how you use it. After a few days of internet malfunctions, I was finally motivated to put the time in and learn how to root an android phone and bypass the carrier’s ability to disable wifi tethering functionality
