I waited a while, then Googled it to see if anyone else can do this also, but I can't find anything.
Backstory: My family was on the old unlimited data plan with 5 lines. I left for Verizon years ago because two of my siblings had to use Virgin Mobile (not enough available lines on AT&T) and I knew I was going to have to get my own plan eventually, so I switched on they last day they offered unlimited, since AT&T didn't offer it anymore. My brother was able get on AT&T, but not my youngest sister.
Well, when AT&T announced the new unlimited plan with DirecTV, my dad switched to it since it offered up to 10 lines instead of five and it was going to save him about $100/month. Since there were going to be extra available lines and I had my old iPhone 5s, I figured I'd just pay an additional $40 on top of my Verizon bill to have two phones with unlimited data. I'll skip the story on why that really benefits me.
Actual point of this topic: AT&T had a promotion for an iPad Air 2 for $99 with a two year contract when you added a line. Since my dad added one for my sister, I figured I'd just get the iPad for $99, sell my current Wi-Fi iPad Air 2, and get unlimited data on the iPad for $40/month instead of my old iPhone. This plan isn't supposed to include tethering, but for some reason it does. The SIM card doesn't work in any phones. I've tried it already. But the iPad they gave me has the option to activate hotspot out of the box. And the rest of my family on the plan can't use hotspot on their phones. It's only me on the tablet plan.
Did anyone else get an iPad or any other tablet on this plan and have the option to hotspot, or is this just a freak accident? It's been like this for a few weeks now.
