Sprint PCS Tethering

#1 (**permalink**) 05-25-2008, 03:04 PM

Alright, so I tether my internet from my unlimited data SERO plan. I use Internet Sharing, and so far it was working fine, until recently. Anything that is remotely internet-related on my computer would stop responding until I disconnect from the Sprint PCS tethering would my applications on my computer start to respond like normal. What's going on?

So I understand that you can use your your laptop access your phone internet free of charge (as long as you have unlimited data plan)? how do you do that?

Sprint ROCKS!!!! I have 4 numbers under my acct and I was able to upgrade one number from SERO $30 500 mins to SERO $49.99 1250 mins without extending the service agreement. It took 30 mins to get it done but the CSR is great. I waited on the phone and asked nicely and I even offered to do a customer survey for his excellent service, too bad I didn't get selected for the survey.

My brother use that particular number that I upgraded. He's been going over his mins for the pass 4 months and he ends up paying $160 to $200 a month for using 1000 and over mins. Atleast now he doesnt have to pay that much and have 1250 mins available for him.

Less stress for me

I'm using PDAnet right now, and so far I have used about 1.22GB of Sprint's EV-DO, and it's going strong! Now, about the purchase price... It's a bit hefty, don't you think?

I've never used PDAnet and my tethering is free. Nothin special done though

Is there an app out there that allows USB tethering to Macs?

You could try USB Modem (not the MS Mobile version) which can be found here: http://www.mobile-stream.com/usbmodem_wm.html . I havent tried it myself, however a buddy of mine uses for linux connectivity.

Yo why is tethering always lags? average of every 15mins. i don't use any software just straight usb connecting to sprintpcs. Any fix for this issue?
