Coming from Android, I got a rude awakening tonight, being told that I had to pay more to T-mobile for tethering my device, on a data plan I never go over as it is on my new HTC 8x. The phone is likely going back, but before I do that..
My question(s) are:
1. If I buy an international (UK) sim-free version of the phone from e-bay or Amazon UK for example, will it work in the US, including tethering?
2. Since I bought the phone full price, I know there's an option to call the carrier for an unlock code. If I do that, will the issue go away? Based on my hours of Google searching tonight, it appears to be a custom ROM issue, so probably not, but I just wanted confirmation.
Thanks
