I didn't see anything in the OP, so question time:

I am on TMo pre-paid. Will they boot me if I am tethering or using my phone as a WiFi hotspot?

I was only able to use it for a few days before I was cut off from tethering and redirected to a page to pay for their tethering service.

Or you could pony up an extra $15/month, effectively doubling your data to 10 gigs and allows for full unrestricted tethering.

When I did this, I was throttled once I hit 5gb to abysmal dial-up like speeds.

Buy an S4 off Craigslist and get a sim card from tmobile for like $1. Activate the $30 100 minute plan online. Port your number in after the account is already set up with a new number from tmobile.

Good idea unless you get a stolen phone/not paid for phone and your service gets blocked about 6 weeks in. This happened to me with a "refurbished" S3 I purchased off of Amazon.
