The data/minutes can apparently also be used in various countries with no extra charge. | |

I can't really answer the more general questions of whether or not this is technically feasible, but for T-Mobile specifically it's probably worth noting that their ToS states: Unlimited 4G data includes 2.5 GB of tethering. It's not entirely unsurprising, though, since otherwise they'd have basically no market for their mobile broadband plans.

Purchasing advice is not within the scope of this site; some grammar/spelling

clarify why a phone and not a USB modem
|
| Jan 25, 2014 at 5:12 | comment | added | peteorpeter | Good question - you use a phone because all modem data contracts are capped (as far as I know). TMobile phone 4G contracts gave an unlimited option. | |
| Jan 25, 2014 at 4:38 | comment | added | aleksikallio | Why would you use a phone and not a dedicated USB 4g modem? Some routers allow these to be plugged directly to the router for sharing... | |
