ATT Lumia 920 - Tethering

[Auggybendoggy]

Hi everyone,

I'm hoping someone might be able to help me out. I own an AT&T Lumia 920 unlocked. I am now on Ting Wireless. Ting supports tethering and it is turned on for my device.

When I turn on internet sharing in my settings, I get a message that reads (paraphrased): Your account is not set up to share internet. If you would like to upgrade please do so now.

Then I select the upgrade button which takes me automatically to the web for T-Mobile. Tmobile then states, your account does not have hotspot features and would you like to add it to your account. Problem is I'm on Ting not on Tmobile.

Now I was with Ptel, which did the exact same thing. Ptel does use Tmobile's network. Perhaps Ting does too?

Any wisdom shared would be appreciated. Also, is there a way around this?

You more than likely are going to have to contact Ting Wireless to get them to turn on Internet sharing or wireless tethering

They provie that feature at the users account settings. You pick you device and turn on and off what you want. Tethering is on.

So far all I can gather is that I may need to "unbrand" my phone? But I even doubt that. Why is an ATT phone sending me to Tmobile. Something is very fishy.
