Is Tethering Data using the iPhone 12 free and allowed?

SahotaCC — Tue, 04 Jan 2022 10:07:31 GMT

Hey guys, so I am wondering if Tethering is allowed with PM? I want to tether data every so often to my laptop from my iPhone on the $40 + 2GB bonus data plan.

Thank You!

Yes, @SahotaCC , you can tether a device by creating a hotspot.

EDIT: Bear in mind, while it's "free" to tether, it still consumes data from the source. (which i'm sure you know 😉 )

Try manually selecting 3G instead of LTE. That usually speeds things up a bit.

I think you'll find 3G just fine @SahotaCC . It's actually 4G kinda 'throttled' down to a 3G.

@SahotaCC

public mobile Plans with 3G data may reach download speeds of up to 3 Mbps, with the coverage and reliability of the LTE network. Speed and signal strength may vary with your device, configuration, Internet traffic, environmental conditions, applicable network management and other factors.

if you face any issue with data

you can try reseat the SIM card and Make sure your phone is off before removing your SIM card,

1. power off your device

2. take out the SIM card,

3. waiting a 1 minute,

4. put it back and power on,

5. toggling airplane mode off/on,

and you can try to reset network settings on an IPhone

Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.

This also resets Wi-Fi networks and passwords,

or visit Here link,

and go Changing APN Settings On An IPhone

click Here link,

and try manually selecting network "3G ONLY"

for iPhone visit Here link

or Here link

and do Rebooting your phone ,This is quick and simple,

*what is mean for Rebooting the phone means to turn off your phone and turn it back on again.

@SahotaCC

Public mobile's 4G LTE data is throttled to 3mbps.

The optional 3G data can be up to 20mbps+ depending on network traffic but averages 12mbps.

@SahotaCC PM allows hotspot or tethering data

3G speed in PM could go as much as 12Mbps

The one using the hotspot, please make sure it set the hotspot wifi as a metered network. Hotspot can easily drain your data as the client in this hotspot only sees it as a "wifi" and will download like it is at home if you don't mark the network as a "metered network"

Sounds great man thank you!

Yes, it's allowed. I'm not sure what you mean by free though because it will come out of your data in your plan.

So now we're repeating our own answers that we've already given 6 days earlier. Sigh.

That's one way of bumping up your numbers for the month. I'll have to try that new trick 🙂. Not....

Maybe it'll get the OP to pick my solution.

lol

Thank You,

I just wasn’t sure if it’s free right but now I know!

I meant to say like there is no additional $$ 10 cost for tethering on top of your price plan. My bad sorry for the confusion. But Thank You !
