Anyone using T Mobile for cell service and using your phone as a hotspot? How well does it work? Thanks for any info.
If you have T-Mobile, you'll need the wifi calling.Another thing T-Mobile has going for it, is WiFi calling... so if you are in a place with bad signal, but with WiFi, you can hop on the internet and make calls just like you were on their 4G service.
I now have my Roku 3 hooked up to the living room and WiFi'd to the the T-Mobile hotspot, then I found the Roku 2 in the shed while cleaning things up, so I installed it on the bedroom TV.
I do seem to be eating data like mad as a full timer! Kind-a on a hunt to fine the big offenders. Reading the paper online might take a lot of data?

You may have to stream to your phone or tablet and use an app to "cast" it to your Roku.It turns out that Binge On works just fine while tethering - but only if you are streaming to a laptop, desktop, tablet, or handset.
Smart TVs, set-top boxes, and gaming systems are NOT supported.
You need to check with T-Mobile about whether the Roku usage is supported as part of Binge On. This is from an artic le about 6 months ago:
