"We do not support" is different than "it won't be allowed."
The former has been Sprint's official position for quite a while.
Yet they have not disabled casual use of one's phone as a modem.

The operative word is "casual."

While checking/sending e-mail, quick searches, etc. would probably
keep you under the radar, surfing might be enough to draw attention.

launched.

True, but only a couple of months ago, Sprint was offering data plan
add-ons, to allow phones to be used as modems. Have they changed
their tune again???

Just last month, those brochures were still available.

First off, quit with the html posting ...

Next, no software needed. Just need to download the modem driver for your
phone and set up a new DUN, with #777 as the number, leaving the user name
and password fields empty.

Jeez, can't you take a hint not to post in HTML?

As for the drivers, which phone do you have? And don't reply in HTML ...

Beg to differ. Sprint offers plans for phones as modem.

Offering plans to cover the usage does *not* mean Sprint will provide
support for it. As of the last update I had, Sprint does not support
this.

*Support*. As has already been stated, that is not the same as "allow".

Huh?

If Sprint offers a plan that includes tethering, how can they not support it?

That makes absolutely no sense.
