Hello All,
I'm hoping someone out there can help me answer this question because countless hours of searching on the internet so far haven't so now I will turn to the experts here. Here's a brief background of the situation.
I recently switched from a Palm Treo 700wx on a plan that included Phone as Modem on Sprint to an Sprint Htc Hero on an unlimited data plan that doesn't allow tethering. Unfortunately for those of us left that use tethering Sprint doesn't even allow one to pay extra for it. I know that that Hero is capable of tethering using PdaNet and I enjoyed using PdaNet on my Treo.
So now getting to the questions. I would like to know if anyone knows if cell phone companies either Sprint or any other provider can actually tell when your using your phone as a modem say as long as you don't abuse it by staying under 5gbs a month? Does anyone know how PdaNet actually works? In other words does it appear that your actually just downloading data to your phone when really your also transferring it to a laptop?
