    Just got hit with a significant bill for tethering after moving to a new phone. Whatever version of Android was on the last phone did not change the APN.

    Anyway, are there any Apps I can use to tether that wont change the APN on a non rooted phone?

    Did you move supplier as well? For example, Vodaphone may charge extra for tethering while Meteor/eMobile do not. Tethering is built into to Android since Gingerbread 2.3 so apps or rooting not normally necessary.

    No, still with same network O2. I moved from the S3 to the S4 which is running Android 4.2.2. Based on the research I have done so far it looks like Android made a change in the 4.2.2 version to change the APN when you tether so the mobile network knows about it.
