Using my EVO 4g as a modem HELP

MR SLIMM · #1 (**permalink**) 10-05-2011, 01:03 PM

I upgraded to a Sprint EVO 4g with unlimited data package, from a Palm Treo Pro. On my Palm I could use my phone as a modem with the internet sharing app. On my EVO I dont see an app to use the phone as a modem. Does The EVO have the capability to be used as a modem? I know it has the tethering. But it says I have to add this function to my plan. The cost of my plan is high enough. I am not trying to pay for anymore services. So I was wondering if there is a way to do this without paying for an additional service on my plan. Any assistance will be appreciated.

yes, if you root you can also use Wireless Android Tether.

If you dont want to root, then PDAnet can do it. But I hate anything install on my computer.

You can root and use the WIFI wireless. Better this way.

I use the hotspot that is built in, but I just would like to point out a tethered PDANET advantage...and that is CONSTANT charging.

pdanet works, but you can't access any secured websites (ie https:// ) with the free version. You can try klink. It is the cheapest option and can add the purchase to your bill.
