You can sometimes root / jailbreak your phone, and enable USB tethering regardless of your telco. Of course, if they catch on, they might penalize you. Some specific apps have features to "hide" this from your telco, though. YMMV.

Did you know that phones can theoretically transfer internet data through USB to another device effectively becoming hotspots? I do, and it irritates me to no end that my cellular provider locks this feature unless I upgrade my data plan. like come on data limit it if you have to but just a few megabytes of cell data can go a long way for me please just let me use the data I pay for how I see fit.
