I need a work around on my phone data/hotspot

Galaxy s7....
I have been looking for a way to use my unlimited data on my phone. The hotspot function only allows me to use 5 gigs of that.
However, once I reach the 5 gigs, it throttles the hotspot only. The phone works just fine.
So it's got to be a way around that. Anybody know?

I have. Even paid the onetime feed. So far no luck.
I can watch slingtv, youtube..etc no issues. No buffering. But the hotpot is capped.

I use the Pdanet + Foxfi app carrier is Verizon
Works great use it as a wifi hotspot, you may have to
lock the screen with a pin or password then after i have the wifi hotspot going, i go to security and clear
credentials and then change lock screen back to swipe.

Can you explain that a little more?

You have to root your phone which you may or may not be able to do an S7. Get a phone that's easy to root if you really need this to work. I rooted my Moto G4 with unlimited plan and the hotspot works now.

You don't have to tout a g4 to get the hotspot to work. Mine just worked. Foxfi wouldn't work with the version of Android, and I was about to return the phone. But I clicked found the hotspot shortcut, and clicked on it for the hell of it, and it ended up working.
