We just recently got unlimited data with AT&T and I used my hotspot just yesterday until like 12am. I get on my phone when I got home and it's telling me to set up hotspot any way to solve without having to call to set it up? Anyone know why this happens?

Ive heard that with AT&T, even if you have unlimited data you only have acertain amount of hotspot data, so its limited.

If you have a jailbreak, you can use "PDANet" which is free (working up to iOS 9.0.2).

Well, as someone who has AT&T and had unlimited data, what you are doing can't be done. AT&T doesn't sell the tethering/hotspot plan with unlimited data customers as you could use so much data tethering to your computer or console or whatever that it could hurt their bandwidth, supposedly. This is what I was told when I got caught using tethering I wasn't paying for via a jailbreak tweak. I used a ton of data and actually had my unlimited data stripped from the account and had to switch to a family plan and what not.

Be careful out there.

My friend has this problem but his courier offers an add-on which allows him to use unlimited data on a hotspot, unfortunately he doesn't have it so I have to use my own 3G hahaha.
