I'm not one of these guys that uses my internet connection as my home connection, but I do use around 20-25gb's a month; tethering via hotspot is about 2-3gb's of that at most as I use it only with clients looking up information or working on my laptop in the car in between appointments. I don't use a lot of mobile hotspot data but I absolutely require it.

With that said, I'm *trying* to switch to an iPhone 7 but I'm finding road block after road block. The current one is it seems even the sim free iPhones have the provisioning check for hotspot turned on and my carrier doesn't allow it on my plan. Going to a carrier that does allow it with the amount of data I would need would at minimum double, possibly triple my bill every month; so, that's not a solution because if that becomes the only option on an iPhone, I'll just go back to Android where I was always able to get around it (if there was even a provisioning check on the phone which often there isn't).

So, without jailbreaking this thing (which seems isn't possible quite yet), is there anyway to do this?
