I have a Moto G6 on the free plan and it won't authenticate/allow mobile hotspot without a third party app. Are you sure you're not on the older free year/grandfathered in from when it was allowed?

Dude read my post, android phone should not be any US service provider phone branding, if your phone has any Verizon, T-Mobile, sprint, att APP in it, it mean it will not work, it has to be unlocked phone which means you didn't just unlocked it. To be sure buy any android international version phone that support Sprint. Common sense if any phone make its way to any US provider hand, they will alter the Android operating system so you have to subscribed for a hotspot service so they can have more money. So don't tell me you have this phone and it doesn't work, because obviously the phone you bought comes from a US Carrier and they already alter the hotspot feature like all iPhones. Can't you not read I have IPHONE XS MAX that I mention and I can't hotspot without the iPhone asking me to subscribe, that is why I didn't state that I can hotspot on my iPhone. Understand, intiendes? You want a phon that you are sure it will work? Buy an Unlocked LG G7 on bh photo where i bought mine, it works on all 4 major carrier, and no carrier app. Don't buy on eBay because most of them comes from China it might work buy I have no idea I it will work on sprint. Or if your cheap and have no money buy a LG g6 will work too buy laggy as fcuk

Why would you port out of this for the swac plan?

was just a thought.
quiick advantages of swac :

hotspot
no throttling for video streaming (i think not 100%sure)
discounted phone at signup like lg g7 for $240
hulu
tidal
1 year service from ~4/1 (the day i would probably signup)
