So my first concern is, will I be charged extra? (Since I never paid for hotspot features, and I assume Verizon can find out I'm using tethering without paying, especially since Foxfi seems to use V's app). Here's a collection of what I found so far:ġ) FoxFi has a compatibility list, and according to it, my device (since it's 4.1.2) shouldn't work, but it DOES as I have tested.įoxFi Devices - So what's going on? Is this list outdated?Ģ) FCC Says Verizon Can't Block Tethering Appsģ) When I start the wifi tethering in Foxfi, the status bar shows the Verizon Mobile hotspot icon, indicating that it's through Verizon's app.
This appears too good to be true, so I'm searching for information about FoxFi and verizon.
I migrated my unlimited data plan over from my previous phone, but I do not have Verizon's mobile hotspot functionality on that plan. So I just downloaded and tried out FoxFi, and to my pleasant surprise it totally works, seemingly without any hassles, on my Galaxy S3 (JB 4.1.2, rooted).
