is there an app that i can paste 12345
and like use it as my data connection

i cant think a good analogy about this sry. pls help thanks

Mobile broadband is not just using the mac address it is using the id that is in the sim of the phone. It may use some form of mac but the security is done with information on the phone sim. You home connection works different and there are a number of variations depending on what type of connection. For something like a cable modem they use the mac address of the cable modem for security.

Even if ignore the issue that if you duplicate a mac address it causes massive confusion. What is going to stop you is the encryption of the data.

Lets say you do this on the home wireless you completely control. Even with the same mac addresses and the same wireless password the 2 connections will not use the same encryption keys. To...

The only way of doing something similar to that, that I know of, is like Comcast has XFinity "hotspots", I know Verizon and Brighthouse have internet "hotspots" too, in those cases, you use your cable login and pass to log onto public wifi routers. Other than that, I don't see a way you can get broadband cable (which has to run through a cable to get to your house) over GSM or CDMA antennas without you using a GSM/CDMA data service (cellular).

Although you are asking about IP addresses I suspect you are really asking can I use internet on my phone without paying more money. The phone companies paid a lot of money to get the technology to allow you to use data on your cell phone while your are out of your house. They have to pay for all those cell towers they put in some how.

So I suppose if you had ATT at home and ATT for your cell company they could find a way if they really wanted to charge you just 1 fee per month. The cost of providing celluar internet is so expensive to them compared to home internet they would likely have to charge a price nobody would be willing to pay.

There is no magic technology that will let you get past the money part of the problem. Now if you really mean you want the same IP address there are technical methods to do that.

u are right and i cant argue with ur explanation, i've heard people use other ppl's "mac address" to split the "owner's" connection to theirs, so he can also recieve the signal from the tower and they're both registered as the same "mac address", so is there a trick that can make me use my broadband mac address as my phone's internet connection. is there an app or i can change in the settings to put my broadband mac address to my phone so it is going to receive internet connection.

its like when someone is calling to our house landline, if u have two phones connected to the same line u can hear their conversation its like: "A" is calling "B" and you are "C" if "B" picks up the phone "C" can also hear their conversation and receive the same connection just like "B" because they're at the same line in the house.

"A" is the internet provider
"B" is my home broadband connection
"C" is my phone

-since "A" is transfering data to "B" with the mac of 1.2.3 can "C" receive the same data that "A" is transfering cuz "C's" mac is also 1.2.3.

sry for bad grammar and terrible analogy.

Lets say you do this on the home wireless you completely control. Even with the same mac addresses and the same wireless password the 2 connections will not use the same encryption keys. To enhance the level of protection there are random numbers generated when they encryption keys are created. This means even when you know the mac and the main security key you still can not listen in on the traffic without knowing the random keys that are generated when the session is first opened. Even if you could run the same mac on 2 devices they encrypted data stream would be different because of the random numbers.

Mobile broadband uses a very similar method and it is using keys stored in the sim chip which makes it even harder.

The ISP hire some of the top network technicians. Part of the job is to think about how you hack your own system and insure that it can not happen. Maybe some of them come on this forum and answer questions :)
