I thought it would prpmt me for additional fees but it never did. So the question is, does it cost?

You can bluetooth tether right now with Windows for free. You can also buy and download PDAnet or Easy Tether for USB tethering.

I spoke to Verizon today about this very same topic. Once you activate the Hotspot and THEN connect a device you will be charged, WITHOUT WARNING. This is unfair. If you've had an unlimited data plan BEFORE the X purchase you shouldn't be charged $20 for hotspot.

The rep gave me the corporate office address to write with my complaint:
PO BOX 4003, ACWORTH, GA 30101.

If the tethering interface is at all like the tethering interface Verizon uses for 2.2/Droid USB tethering, when I connect a device via USB tether and attempt to go to a website, it directs me to a Verizon page which clearly asks if you want to add the tethering service for $20. This was using FroYo 2.2 with my standard Droid, but I would guess they'd use a similar if not exactly identical handling scheme for the Droid X.

I will assume you are rooted in order to have Froyo.


As for prompt, I am surprised it doesn't. I am thinking of doing for use with my iTouch but not sure. I like the Droid X. I really like it over my Droid.
