FoxFi (Beta) 1.22 for Android - Download.comearch "Foxfi" on the Marketplace.

Verizon has an app pre-loaded on many phones but this one is free.

Heard that it currently doesn't work on HTC phones but works like a charm on my RAZR.

Try turning wi-fi off on your phone. Doing that got rid of the message on my phone. The App works great!!

I downloaded, tested and works. I would suspect Verizon may attempt to block this app in the market in the future so I got it now.

Just search for foxfi in market. That link is showing in forum app and not on forum webpage...for me.

There is also a short video on YouTube.

No ideas from me except the usual try reboot, check foxfi settings, make sure your regular wifi is off and other like things.

Reset your phone. Apparently there's a glitch on it. Or uninstall and install. It works great on my nexus. Just another reason to stay stock

I was going to ask a similar question. But the one pre installed Verizon can track and charge you an extra 30 a month. But with this, u can tether for free and Verizon doesn't know!

Just curious, what keeps Verizon from knowing? If not rooted this app can't change the build prop to mask the tethering ...
