sprint phone as a modem

Do you need the extra sprint charge to use a phone as a modem with wm6 on a 6700. Or can you just use the $15 for unlimited phone internet?

i have the $15 ($10 for me

) plan, and i've successfully tethered and so far i've not seen any charges. dunno if there are limits, tho

Are you using the wm6 interne share?

I've used Internet Sharing in both wm5 and wm6 and both work fine. As far as usage, i use it randomly. Sometimes for a short time period and sometimes for several hours and have had no additional charges.

using it with the latest kitchen for wm5, internet sharing, and its awesome!
via usb cable its pretty fast for what it is and the whole idea of it..

im curious about bluetooth speeds and if thats faster..

as far as sprint limits, i have no clue.. the weeks time i used it i was doing quite alot and nothing odd happened.
