My job requires me to travel a lot. To a lot of places that don't have wifi or any type of easily usable way for me to connect to the internet. For the past year I have used about 30gb a month tethering my iPhone 5s running iOS 7.0.6 on the Tmobile network. Just using the regular tethering. All of a sudden my tethering was shut off. I called Tmobile and they told me it was a "glitch" that I had been able to use so much tethering every month. I was informed that I can only use 2.5gb per month. Even though I pay for unlimited internet from them. I leave for an important trip tomorrow night where I will need to use the internet for everything I do.

Does anyone know a workaround to make my phone able to tether again? So it only thinks it is using internet on the phone and not tethering.
5 years ago I jailbroke my old 3gs and was able to trick AT&T so I that I could tether without them knowing. I am sure something is possible to do for Tmobile on a 5s.
There are many guides and how to videos explaining how to do this easily with a android device that is rooted. But I cannot find the equivalent for the iPhone.

Any help is much appreciated. If I need to Jailbreak my device I just need to be certain I can restore it to the way it originally was eventually.
Thanks in advance
 
Forgive me for asking, but you are paying for unlimited internet and you are allowed to use only 2.5 GB per month??? How is that possible? There is a Tweak called TetherMe, not sure if that one would help, never used it.....
