With verizon I don't pay for tethering, but I've been getting away with 1.2GB some months of data usage with my phone tethered. Of course, the location I'm at has terrible reception, so I literally get dial-up speeds - so maybe they just haven't noticed because I've never caused too much load.<br>
<br>And I've been doing it with a non-rooted Droid Incredible through PDAnet <i>and</i> WIFI hotspot.<br><br>-Kenny<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Nov 19, 2010 at 4:21 PM, Josh More <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:MoreJ@alliancetechnologies.net">MoreJ@alliancetechnologies.net</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<div>With 2.2, you can tether without root, but only if the carrier allows you. It's in the OS, but locked unless you pay the $30/mo. That's one of the reasons for all the rooting* going on.

<div>4G or not, I suspect this person's willing to pay the $10/mo for the phone itself, which btw, is what Sprint claims you're actually paying for, not the 4G....<br>
<br>
Additionally, I *think* w/ 2.2 you will be able to tether w/o root and w/o paying Sprint's PAM (Phone as Modem) plan. It's a feature being added by google to the OS. (again...I *THINK*).<br>
<br>
As for getting dumped for rooting I doubt this is likely. I have a Windows Mobile Touch Pro 2 on the SERO plan. 1.) I've been running a custom ROM on it since I got it and 2.) even though SERO doesn't allow Android (prior to october 1st and +$10/mo after
which I do not pay currently) I run xdandroid on my phone fairly regularly. they can't tell what you do with your phone for the most part. I would just suggest if you bust it you "loose" the phone as they probably won't be happy if they got a rooted one
in for support.<br>

There are a couple differences - there's actually no 4G locally and it's not forecasted here for quite a while. You also have the risk of your service being turned off once Sprint determines that you've rooted their phone and are tethering it.<br>
