Something else to consider.
TMobile doesn't include hotspotting at there included rates either, for that you'll pony up another $25/m per phone
Sober and have coffee.. Following up on this again, you are, yet again, reading this wrong and making incorrect assumptions.
All T-Mobile phone plans include tethering have included tethering for years. The image you posted above is to enable full 4G LTE speeds at all times when you tether.

I wonder what they mean by Twice the Speed? So they are intentionally capping my speed with the normal plan, and they are doubling that speed for $25 more a month.. sigh. lol
They mean you get faster international data than you get for free. duh..
now you're assuming it's only international. The USA could be one of those 140 destinations... That said, there's a chance your assumption is correct.
But nothing in that ad indicated that Hotspot service is only while traveling internationally, then again, nothing says it isn't either.
Actually, the fine print on that page does say that. It also says that top abusers can be throttled to 3g speeds when tethering if the carrier so chooses.
LOl it says what? I said a lot of things in the quoted part

an the other prepaid services that use their own or piggyback off of Sprint (which is terrible).
Wow double? so one phone on VZW is $120-$140/month?
Moving the $60/month plan would drastically increase my 3 phone bill plan on ATT. 3 phones 15 GB shared data $140/month (I have a discount that saves me even more).
Well no.. Because you would only be getting 5GB of data per phone which is $45 a month when you use autopay. Also $45 a month is the final price so no taxes and fees on top of that.

I think I could up the plan to get 30 GB total, 10 GB a phone for around $60/phone, but I don't need that. Over the three phones we typically use around 5 GB. None of us stream music - that could probably kill the rest of the data if we did.

We have Verzion (have to here) We have 5 phones and 2 jetpacks. We have 25 GB of data. We pay around $425/month. Unlimited calling/text

$60.70 per device, 3.x GB per device, OK that's a bit high - but it is VZW, so considering.. it's not as bad as it could be.

Yeah it is a little high but we have constant reliable service here in our area. I would love to move to Tmobile but as much as I travel I need to have great coverage. Of course I also have a Tmobile phone for when I leave the states.

So how does that work with T-Mobile.. do you just activate it for the few weeks your out of the country? or do you have to maintain an active contract?
of course switching phone numbers defeats the whole point that Scott's always on about. Well, that's assuming he answers the phone
-
I have to maintain an active account (but we always need a backup phone so that is fine). As far as maintaining a number because they are all Iphones people can still reach me at my main number it just rings through to the Tmobile phone. The nice part of an ITunes account. I actually have 3 IPhones. One for GS one for NTG (my main number) and one for traveling.
