Tethering?

---

I'm confused. I understand that Sprint charges extra to allow customers to enable tethering via their cell phones. And I understand that many rooted phones can have apps installed and/or enabled to allow tethering without any extra charge. (Please correct me if any of that is inaccurate.)

So what happens when I turn on the wifi hotspot on my new phone? Will it fail because I don't have a "tethering" option on my plan? Will it work, but add $30 to my monthly bill? Or will something else happen.

Same with the USB tethering? How does that work? And get billed?

This 3vo is the first phone I've had that offered these options.

You can use USB tethering without paying the $30/month fee. That's just for WiFi tethering. If you try to use the WiFi hotspot, it simply will just not work. You will not be charged.

Both wired and wireless tethering fail with the message to contact Sprint to upgrade your plan.

What about pdanet? I haven't had time to try it out yet.

This app is cheap and works great check it out here Also you CAN tether a wifi connection for free but not using mobile connection.

Tethering Roms

I found when you try to use either wireless or wired tethering build into the software, you get that error message and it also shuts down the 3g signal. You can still form an adhoc network wirelessly but no internet.

I'm looking for a Rom that unlocks the built in tethering. I just found Virusrom to do a good job. Any other roms you can recommend that just unlock the built in tethering functions?
