Re: Is it safe to use WmWifi router without any prior tweaking?

To anyone who was awaiting this reply, sorry it's taken me so long to post it.
I just got a new 120 gallon fish tank and got in a minor car accident. Things have been quite busy lately!

Well, as promised, here's what morose media had to say about my concern:

Quote:
Dear <Redacted>,

Tethering through WMWifiRouter uses your cellular internet connection and thus bandwidth provided by your carrier. While with many carriers it is possible to use WMWifiRouter in such a way it is not immediately apparent to them that you are tethering, doing so may be in violation of your carrier's Terms of Service, and they may charge you afterwards or even disconnect you from their service.

While we have never heard of either of those occuring using WMWifiRouter, and several of our customers use it this way, we advise everyone to make sure they have the correct data plan to go with their WMWifiRouter usage.

To address your specific question, to our knowledge (no guarantees) the issue mentioned in the thread does not affect WMWifiRouter. We have never received any report from any of our users getting charged for tethering using WMWifiRouter, ever. We still strongly advise you to get the correct data plan for your usage, though.

Kinds regards,
WMWifiRouter Customer Support
