well, if you're using a PAM NAI, then good chance, if you're using your regular NAI, probably not. Go to start/settings/connections/connections/advanced/select networks/under My ISP, hit edit/if Phone As Modem is selected, find a different work around.....if Power vision is selected, then you shold be good to go...BUT...Sprint has now put a cap on "unlimited data"(5GB limit)..i also know they'll charge overage for going over that limit....hope you got what you needed in a timely fashion...:mrgreen:

don't think so..after you sync with your PC...when you tether, does it say you're disconnected from activesync/wmdc???....but can still browse??? regardless though, you should still be able to send/receive messaging

i didnt sync anything..i sync with a pc..im on a laptop, my phones never even been hooked upto this..

i dont know ill find out soon enough... and somehow i doubt if im not getting charge, i would still need to worry about a 5gb cap..

Sprints 5gb cap is only for their data cards it does not apply to a smart phone or pocket pc.

Yes I have gone over 5gb without tethering my phone at all.. its really easy with streaming music for 12hrs while @ work and I only work 15 days a month. u can hit 5gb really quick if you stream videos or music. I use shoutcast and listen to several stations thru Mort Player. Then I browse the net occasionally and watch some sprint tv or hulu.com on my phone quite regularly. I dare them to tell me I tether bc my laptop is not working right now and all my usage is over the pda.

Lets say you only dl or use 40mb an hour x 12hrs is 480mb a day times that by 15 is 7gb easily without even browsing or video added. Thats why I think they overlook high data usage on a pda. It is possible with moderate usage to use up 5gb if that was their soft cap on their unlimited web usage plan. I am on the 450 everything plan mostly bc i work at night 6pm-6am and most my family is sprint.
