I have a Windows 8 Smart Phone and a Windows 8 Laptop. My services are thru AT&T.
I have unlimited text and data on my smart phone for $50.00 per month plus another $29.95 for my cell talk minutes plan. I also have fast speed DSL for my home internet service bundled with my land line phone.
I took my smart phone and laptop to AT&T Company store to tether my laptop to my phone for when I'm traveling. Was told that in order to tether the two, I would have to unbundle my services on my phone. Instead of my unlimited text and data plan for $50.00 per month I would have to pay $50.00 for 5 GIGS of data plus $20.00 for my unlimited texting and the $29,95 for my talk minutes. Total would be $99.95 per month plus taxes and fees. Told them NO! why would I give up unlimited data and texting for $50.00 month to get 5 GIGS of data for $50.00. I felt like the entire process was a waste of my time not to mention being very frustrating. So how do you all tether your laptops or tablets to your phone without the huge costs for doing so?
