"You must have unlimited data plan or your bill will skyrocket!!!"
Hi, camstuf. I noticed that your carrier is Sprint. I'm with Verizon; my family & I are on their NW plan (1400 min/mo). I do understand that VZW won't let me use my cellphone as a modem for free (I have tethered it successfully, but didn't stay on very long, and made sure it was disconnected when I was done). It appears that, based on what you said in the above quote, I would have to change my plan with VZW if I wanted to use my phone as a modem without incurring a huge bill (based on data downloads and uploads, not on minutes used). I'm not sure that VZW even offers an unlimited data plan. Unless I missed it on their website, the most they offer is 5 GB/mo, and $0.25/MB after that.

Re: How To: Tether Bluetooth Phone to get internet on PC
See what had happened was... Sometime last year or so, all the carriers that offered Unlimired data decided to put a cap on their plan. Even though my plan shows Unlimited data, I too have a cap on Sprint. (Read the fine print)...
dont know what it is, and have never gone over. Cest la vie
BTW, I tether quite a bit when I am out of town, and my bill has not changed in over two years.If you find this post helpful, click on bottom of each post: Like l Share
