XDA-Developer member Snickler has developed a pretty simple method to allow WIFI internet tethering without paying AT&T for the privilege.

As can be seen above, the technique involved changing your phone language region, which for some reason, temporarily at least, confuses AT&T into allowing you to tether without adding tethering to your plan.

It seems the effect works off after a while, but I assume there is no reason why it could not be repeated again.

Have any of our readers tried out this simple hack? Let us know below if it works or not.

Note: we cant be sure AT&T will not still send a massive bill at the end of the month, so try out this hack with care.
