Anyway the bottom line is I can still hotspot unlimited just not directly from my phone via WiFi but teather to laptop and then WiFi hotspot from that computer. So Verizon if you are screwing us over I got news for you I still won.
I had been using the phone WiFi hotspot heavily so it might start working again later when usage slows down. Thats not unherd of.

What do you mean by teather to laptop then wifi hotspot from that computer?

Will that work if I'm teathering to a tablet as opposed to a computer?


Yes Just plug you phone via USB cable in your laptop or PC.

What he means is that he has the phone tethered via USB cable to his computer to provide an internet connection and then created a hotspot on the computer so that other devices could connect to it and share that connection.

I doubt you could do this with your tablet (unless it's a Windows tablet).

When I first got my LG G2 phone, PDANet wouldn't work on it so I had to use this same method. After the FCC made it's ruling that Verizon couldn't block people from using a hotspot, I got a system update that made it so that PDANet started working. Now, PDANet no longer works on my phone so I will need to revert back to using this method again.

There are various ways of creating a wifi hotpsot on your computer (computer MUST have a wifi adapter). See here: How to Turn Your Windows PC Into a Wi-Fi Hotspot
