4g aircards are unlimited but do have the 5gb cap if you're in a 3g area, we can probably assume the evo will be treated the same way

Is rooting it like unlocking and changing ROM's? Just wondering, and wanting to compare the difficulty compared to the ease of tethering undetected in WM

Re: Data Cap with Mobile Hot Spot
 

So I take it that in initial restrictiveness, Android is somewhere between iPhone and WM. Initially, that is. I'm getting closer to jumping, folks, be patient, I like to really "look before I leap". I'm an old guy, and was already a young man when you simply "had to have" a CB Radio. Frankly, the CB or HAM looks pretty good nowadays, due to disasters, etc. They aren't dependent on infrastructure controlled by others, can't be turned off by anyone, and aren't susceptible to natural disasters wiping out towers, etc. (except HAM repeaters, but they aren't needed for communications to continue).

Still no definite answer. I'm looking to replace my comcast internet service with the mobile hotspot but I just don't know about this 5GB cap. Sometimes, I do up to 20GB/mth, so I rather not take the chance with sprint because if they do decide to charge you, then it's @ $0.20 cents/min

Re: Data Cap with Mobile Hot Spot
 

android does have some restrictions that require root access the same way the tp2 needed hspl. android for instance has blocked the free wifi router app. once you have root access to the phone the restrictions are removed and you can do anything with your phone, including running programs android have removed.

Re: Data Cap with Mobile Hot Spot
 

here is the answer, on 3g there is a 5gb cap, but honestly sprint doesn't really enforce it. with 4g there is no data cap. that is the official word from sprint.

Re: Data Cap with Mobile Hot Spot
 

Fair enough

Re: Data Cap with Mobile Hot Spot
 

I do about 100-200gb a month and have been doing so for about 5 years.

I'll be waiting till someone roots/hacks hotspot until I jump to get one.

No way am I letting them cap my usage.
