That depends on your definition of "can't." Technology-wise, yes, if the phone supports it. Terms of service-wise, no, but that's true of the smartphone plans

That depends on your definition of "can't." Technology-wise, yes, if the phone supports it. Terms of service-wise, no, but that's true of the smartphone plans also, they've just never enforced it before.
- bhousel 16y agoRight, that's how I'm pointing out that Sprint's approach is different. They just charge all smartphone users an extra $10/month and don't care whether you tether or not. Andriod phones come with the mobile hotspot app preinstalled. Sprint segments their users as non-smartphone vs smartphone (+$10/mo) Other carriers segment their users as non-tethering vs tethering (+$50/mo)
- LordBodak 16y agoAT&T is actually segmenting both, though. Non-smartphone $15 Smartphone $25 Smartphone + tethering $45
