Just wandering if I install ICS fix (cab) is the tethering then free (as in I dont have to pay for the extra tethering package(I already have unlimited internet))?

if you have unlimited internet on your data plan, and you performed the ICS tweak in the registry, then while it technically isn't free, you will nto get charged for it.

well yes and no. tethering is supposed to be a charged service, but in this instance you won't get charged.

you know what i mean

depends on how much usage we're talking about. I use WAY WAY more than the allotted 5 gig per month and have never had an issue... talking 50-75 gigs a month lol.

i've used gigs of data through my phone. for a time it was my only net connection in my home on using my router (which worked great btw). while they can check it, I've never been charged for it nor have i ever heard anything because of it

I hate to be the forum troll but stop being cheap guys and pay for internet. This is why sprint is cutting 8000 employees. Because of cheapskates like you.
