Touch PRO as a modem

does anyone know if you can use the TP as a modem if you have the simply everything plan? i tried to do it with the Touch and sprint said that they could not do it if you have the simply everything plan. is this true and is there another way around this?

Simply everything includes unlimited data. They won't know you're using it as a modem unless you're being really reckless. Even then, I've heard people on here exceeding the 5GB "limit" (Sprint only "sort of" has one) without getting penalized.

Re: Touch PRO as a modem

but how do you set up your phone to act as a modem. i tried the normal way and it gives me an error code and says that i have the incorrect username or password.

This same topic has been posted NUMEROUS times. Do some searching please before creating unnecessary threads.

YES, you can use the phone as a modem, and NO they won't catch you as long as you have unlimited data and don't use it recklessly.
