I finally was able to get my Moto Q to share the internet with my computer. Here's how. I went to sprint.com/download. Clicked on smart phones. Clicked on Moto Q. Downloaded Microsoft ActiveSync. Pluged the Moto Q into the laptop via the USB port. Presto! Online with very good speed.

The Sprint store manager was under the impression that this internet sharing capability is not included in my plan. But by reading other posts on other sites, I tend to believe that this is completely free and included in any plan, as long as the phone has internet capability.

This is not using a phone as a modem plan, this is the internet sharing option on the homepage of the Moto Q.

Therefore, from what I read, there is no way for Sprint to know or track this activity to charge a user. Anyone have any thoughts?

If this is in fact free, this a homerun for my mobile office and my daily business activity. I am psyched! Cheers!

what you did is not "Internet Sharing" it is a default feature of activesync when connecting your device to your PC
you can also using wireless internet sharing using a specific application of windows mobile which will use your plan.

sprint has NOTHING to do with your device other than the data plan (and phone features of course).

That's strange. The icon on the MOTO Q homescreen says "Internet Sharing".
