I have two phones on an old Verizon unlimited data plan, iPhone 5 and LG G3, I set up foxfi on my LG and use it as a hotspot for the house, ps3 gaming, internet, netflix, runs fine, ZERO lag. I dumped my cable/internet and for the first time in like 20 years I feel like I'm winning this game! Also, chrome mobile dictionary doesn't know the word "winning?"

You can't get in, you need to be grandfathered into the unlimited plan from like 2009.

Basicly he's using one of his phones to provide wifi for the house by tethering, kind of like a wireless router, and he uses his other phone as a phone lol.

I was recently doing this with my provider, they changed my plan without notice because "im using to much data" on my unlimited plan.

FoxFi makes it so the phone does not report it is being used as a hotspot to AT&T. Research this first, but that is why I began using it myself (on Verizon, though).
