No ... you pay by the kb, $0.01/kb. Sanyo Vision phones can't dial any
number to access the web while tethered to the laptop, save to Vision, via
the #777 DUN.

If one was trying to access the web on a non Vision phone, and dialed into a
ISP dial up, or to a fax number, the cost would be $0.39/minute.

If I am not wrong, the software is available on the sprint site; Yu
have to log in, then go to phone details--at least on my page there is
a software area there--I believe you use the one for x/p--there are so
many, and I haven;t check out each one--but this appear to be where I
found it.

I went to check that out and found:

Does not sanyo design, produce, etc, etc, these phones at the specific
request and most likely specifitcations of sprint. I happened to be
in a sprint store in late 2002; till that day I couldn't figure out a
reson to pay ,the then $10 for the vision, and since I had both sprint
and verizon (still do) I had given serious thought to eliminating one
line, probably the sprint line, as verizon to some extent was the more
used line---

The rep mentioned the tethered laptop thing in an off hand way--I
immdiately signed up; and this has glued me to sprint since then.

In some distant posts, there were references to the fact that veision
at that time was not being used to anywhere near capacity ( is it
now?) and if you think about it, vision by itself is not worth much,
at least to me, but combine it with the ability to check email, or use
it for light surfing is a big plus--sprint takes in the now $15/month
and it secures a group of very loyal users, who post endless articles
about it; and this type of thing feeds on itself; we forum types, are
just the ones who like to think we are beating the system, etc, etc--

Do you all think this is an accident, or has it really been planned by
the thinkers at sprint to hook us to their system--because to me, it
keeps me with sprint, everything else being even.

Go ask the employees who are cashing in their unemployment checks if
it's enforced.

Go ask the employees who are on a final written, who cannot be
promoted or get a pay increase for at least 6 months if it's not
enforced.

Anyone who posts here?

So, let's take this into a real world situation for me. I have the Sanyo
RL2000 right now and since I don't have Vision and am on Road Runner I could
link the laptop with the phone via the USB cable then dial out to Road
Runner using their (RR) dial-up connection and pay .39 per minute without
incurring any extra charges per kb? Is that it? (or I could substitute a fax
# for Road Runner)
