Internet from cell service???????????

Well, I have to agree with you there, you aren't up with the times. :) There are many posts on this board with internet/cell topics.

You should be able to get a phone with 'hotspot' capability. And as far as the 'unlimited' internet, that may be on the phone only, not when used as a computer hotspot. I didn't think unlimited data existed anymore.. but then I may not be up with the times either.

It goes thru the cell phone
The phone will need a Wi-Fi hotspot feature, to handle more than one device at a time
Double check your contact, your internet is possibly limited to your phone
Using as a hotspot will likely cost more

In the end you might want to keep that $ 40 internet service, it could be cheaper than data use via cellular service

Hi,

You don't say what phone you have but if it is android based this may help: http://pdanet.co/a/

If it is an iphone try to google for similar information.

First of all I doubt you have unlimited internet with AT&T. Unlimited calling-Yes. Unlimited text - Yes. Unlimited Data/Internet - Not going to happen.

I suspect you may have just signed up for their 10g data plan but just guessing.

I have Verizon with unlimited data. I got the plan before unlimited data was eliminated and as long as I don't upgrade my plan by getting a new phone with a subsidized price (meaning I have to pay full price for the phone)I keep my old plan and unlimited data. If you have an Android phone, go to the app store and download the app called WiFi Tether. It's a yellow signal looking icon. It's free too. Then just connect your laptop, desktop, tablet or even another phone that has only WiFi capability to whatever the connection is called. Once connected, you're good to go. If your phone is 4G and you are in an area where 4G is available, the speed is really good. I bought a new Samsung television for our Travel Trailer that has built in WiFi and use my phone to connect to that so I can watch Netflix, Hulu plus etc. You will need accounts for those services but otherwise its free

The wife just upgraded our cell phone service with AT&T and we now have unlimited call time, internet, and Text messaging.

I'm running on memory, but NO wifi hotspot on razor3

you will have to use USB cable, to laptop
can connect ONLY one laptop at a time, and nothing else

There is a difference between unlimited text and unlimited data.

I have an AT&T office nearby so I will check with them.

Generally, AT&T can offer unlimited data ON THE PHONE but that would not apply to either a tether or hot spot scenario so would not apply to any connection between the phone and the computer. That's not to say there might be some way to work around that limitation, but that's they way it's planned and the service is likely monitored and excess use would cause a trigger to kick in. Sprint offered "unlimited" data service but the fine print said 50GB/month.
