After several years of good service, I was accused by my telco (Cricket) of tethering without paying the special fee and my phone was disabled. Found this out in the middle of a trip.
The thing is, my plan did not require the extra fee when I signed up, and so that had been grandfathered in.
When the telco does this, you can switch to another one, but you cannot port your number. This would be like the postal service owning your street address. If they took a dislike to you, they could prevent you from using the address!
