in case you never heard of it, webe tries to make some extra money by charging you if you want to use wifi tethering when on their network. they'll just forward you to some webpage if you have not activated (and paid for) tethering but tried it anyway:

there are several known methods telcos use to detect tethering, e.g.:
How can phone companies detect tethering

i'm thinking of identifying webe's method and publish a countermeasure here, but currently very busy with real work. any sifu here have looked at it?

You want to unlock the tethering? The way the block tethering is same as how American Telcos block tethering. You may go and have a look how Verzion block tethering.

For only 1 device, I highly doubt you can reach the limit
Hence the reason why they only allow the use on 1 device

Pandai Webe ni hmm.gif

Anyone knows if Webe also blocks the usage on MiFi?

Yeah. You got it. But they can detect your activity even though you bypassed it.

Sure? Because a mobile router will detect as 1 device by the Telco.

The telco can detect what is the device connected to their basestation. But anyhow, they still cant block you. Can send out warning letter only.
