Is personal wifi hotspot free???

Wwould it be free to use (stock tethering that came with my phone or would I get billed for this!?)
Would I be notified?
 
Well I am with T-mobile...and its stated in the terms and conditions:
'remember that you cannot use service for p2p or tethering.'
Maybe i hadnt given enough info lol.
Do you think I have been caught by T-mobile? What happened was that I was tethering and then suddenly at times mobile network disconnected as service is unavailable so as soon as I turned wifi hotspot off mobile data started working again. Then I started mobile data again and it started working again. Is this tmobile disconnecting me?

And I thought tethering was free:( so now...

Ideally it's useful to pick a tethering friendly operator, although mobile providers that attempt to restrict it must usually rely upon some very fallible methods for determining whether or not a connection is tethered. Tethering itself is a local networking process so they can't detect that, but they can detect if you're doing something differently (e.g. using a different browser, using unusual ports to access the web, bypassing the operators proxy server erc.). Some operators might also require mobile devices to pass details of any tethered devices back to them.

Until recently there was a simple solution, go on to the android market and pick an "unofficial" tethering app. These do the same as your phones default one but most make it less likely that the operator can detect what you're doing. Google has now clamped down on this. Another problem is that such apps often require root access to your phone and that usually needs a bit of extra technical knowledge to sort out.

I think some of the apps around are:
Wireless Tether
PDAnet
Easy Tether

I think PDAnet, which has a free version, manages to do it without root.
