Re: To cancel broadband card or not to
Quote:
I have a solution for this, which I think may work for others as well. I forward my calls to my house phone/hotel phone/work phone/wife's cell phone/whatever when I know I'm going to tether and then turn it off after. I still get my calls and the tethering goes on uninterrupted.  Note: Depending on your carrier you may get charged double airtime as it is technically 2 calls. One coming in and then one forwarding to somewhere else. Nights and weekends (if you get that free on your cellular plan) would be free on forwarding too. With Verizon, to tether you dial *72[PhoneNumberToFowardCallsTo] (i.e.: *7212125555555). You dial *73 to cancel the forwarding after. (Disclaimer: YMMV, check w/ your cellular provider for forwarding information)

As longer you stay under or close to the 5gb cap, you should be ok. There are people that go over the 5gb cap without any issues regarding cancellation of services, Sprint notifications, etc., but it may be better to be Safer than Sorry.

Ditch the ice and the fans folks, a small piece of aluminum 2 x 3 x 1/4 will work.

Re: To cancel broadband card or not to
The main reason I keep my broadband card (built in to my Thinkpad actually) around rather than just using tethering is the lack of ability to tether and talk on the phone at the same time. Usually if I'm using my broadband card it's because I need to do some kinda remote network administration and which usually involved being on the phone w/ someone while doing it... if they ever figure out how to get tethered data and voice over CDMA I'll be really happy.

Tethered Voice and Data
They have pretty good solution for that.
My subscription costs me 3 bux a month.. Skype!! call us numbers unlimited for free. The WinMo version of skype works pretty well on a good data connection, tho much better with a headset, as through the top speaker kinda sucks. Skype is my main provider at home (no home phone), on my cable connection, using a DLink interface box, to ring and use 5.8ghz cordless phones. some people don't like skype much, but works fabulous for me.
