Do a search on tethering and you will find the there are hundreds of answers to that question. Which all generally say "Theres really no telling if they will charge you for it or not, but to date *I* havent been charged."

At least on Sprint SERO plans (unlimited data from the phone) they either Dont know (I doubt it) or Don't care (its possible).

ChainFire went mainstream. In a day or two we'll see lots of posts about finding this app. (Well a lot more than we do now)

Well, it was YES, until these articles came out.

I got an email from the WMWiFIRouter folks letting me know that their 1.0 version is available and that if I wish, I could buy it. It was cheap enough, and I have seen it's value so I paid the 9.99 EURO they where charging.

I do have the software pointing to "SprintPCS" not "Phone as a modem" I do see the "data" numbers changing on the new sprint website, but it keeps reading as "unlimited" so I keep using it.

I used to tether via BT on my old 6700 and my mac (Painfully slow, but it did work), and when I had a pc laptop I'd use a usb cable. I like the WMWiFiThingie concept better.

9.99 euro is $15 dolla american now. tooooo much when there is a free version that already works well

$15 is too much to make a $300-500 phone into a wifi hotspot? I feel like if I can afford the phone and I use the app it's only fair to pay for it. $15 is nothing compared to the cost of the device or even a SERO plan. I guess it's good to have the old version out for free so people can test it but for such a good app I have no problem kicking out $10-20. I spend that much in a few days of eating lunch out anyway

I have a verizon data card available to use, but I choose to get a mac, and the card I was given is a regular pcmcia card. I have been using my old PPC6700 to tether via BT which is SLOWWWWWWW but it worked, after I found wmwifirouter I saw the speed jump, then 2 weeks ago when I swapped my old 6700 for a 6800 I got even better numbers using wifirouter.

I travel several times a year, and a lot of hotels are starting to charge its customers for going online. The last time I was in San Diego the hotel was charging $12.95 for a day's connection. Even at the hospital where my mom was they charged 8 bucks a days for going online (which I ended up paying). So shelling out 15 bucks for something that will save money in the long run was a no brainer.

for those learning about it, I just went on vacation and used wmwifi with my eeepc in the car for internet access. no, I wasn't driving at the time. kept the kids entertained when they got sick of movies. I also used it in the car as a remote sagetv client to stream live tv from home. very choppy, but it did work. 15 bucks is a bargain to make a pricey phone even more useful.

you support whats called "micro charging"
