Google is your friend. Yahoo! you can tether.

[rayjack8]

It is lock so you can't use the default android tether. You have to get one of those application that will force the phone to tether. The paid ones are better.

Most carriers block tethering. Best chances of not getting caught is to root and install custom ROM.

Root it, problem solved.

Again u still need to put the right apn settings. On android apn settings depends on what device you have and what data plan you on. Put in the wrong one and they'll know and add on the tethering plan and if u have unlimited data plan it'll be gone. Custom roms make it easier but it's still trial and error.

Your SIM card also has to be provisioned for it meaning if you have a 3G device u can't pop your SIM card in a 4G LTE device and expect the 4G LTE settings to work. And you never never never want to use the official tethering apn or you get caught. U can also cheat the throttling by switching apn settings after u get throttled. It's been nice when I sometimes tether from my iPhone 5's 4G LTE speeds. But I rarely do it because I don't want to risk my unlimited data that's getting amazing speeds. Used 44 GB last night lol.

Install titanium backup and use it to remove tethering provisions from system.
