Sprint Tethering Charges??

[blassilando]

I checked my usage online and noticed 552365 kbs used and right above says: Unlimited Data Usage

Is there anyway for them to know if your tethering or not with the registry tweak done by one of the cabs posted here??

And will they be able to cahrge for this??

I think it would show up as additional data used or something like that if they were charging you, as long as you keep it light I wouldn't worry about it.

good luck, if u add phone as a modem to ur service before ur billing cycle is up, you most likely wont be charged. Dont hold me to it, i was able to do it last year at the sprint store. Although i did a bit of begging, it work.
