Does Sprint charge you by using WmWiFiRouter for connection like PC Sharing?

Sprint does not charge for wmwifirouter...however there is a data cap at I believe 5gb at which your internet speed may vary (I believe but don't quote me). The real issue is, is that you are cheating the system, see sprint has there own tethering plan, when you use wmwifirouter it goes around that. I understand their are various other ways at getting around the sprint's locks on tethering but I feel that cheating the system to avoid a few extra bucks isn't right. Thats my two cents, sorry for going off topic.

i dunt think there a cap on sprint data cuz i used more than 5 gb for the past 3 months n i didnt get charged nething extra

but there is a way to secure wmwifirouter it is when u start the application go to settings and then instead of open change it to wep and u can enter your password

Data Usage Limitation (Mobile Broadband Cards, USB Modems, Embedded Modems and Phone-As-Modem): The amount of data transmitted over our network is measured in kilobytes (KB), megabytes (MB) or gigabytes (GB). Sprint reserves the right to limit throughput speeds or amount of data transferred; and to deny, terminate, modify, disconnect or suspend service if usage either exceeds (a.) 5GB/month in total, unless specified otherwise or (b.) 300MB/month while off-network roaming. 1024KB equal 1MB. 1024MB equal 1GB.

That is per Sprints Terms and Conditions..
