<DIV></DIV>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>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. <BR><BR>*

<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><BR>

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><FONT
