I use it on and off and haven't seen anything show up in the bill. I wouldn't be worried about it.

company phone so...don't really wanna do custom ROMs

i can install the 2 files but i am trying to figure out if i need to.

i have been using wi-fi router for awhile now, never got the vzw web page. so i am trying to figure out if...

a) my boss is going to ask me wtf is up with my phone bill =)
b) if wi-fi router does NOT need the 2 fix files as it is undetectable

etc...

i appreciate your help!

I understand about not wanting to flash to a custom ROM since it's comapny related

To answer your questions:

a) As long as you install the two files, you will not see a charge on your bill. But you MUST install these two files if you are on the stock ROM

b) wi-fi router DOES NEED the two files. the original files that came with your phone are 'bad' and can tell that you're tethering. those 2 files in the other thread you're referring to will replace the ones that came with your phone and modify the internet sharing function of your phone so that your carrier cannot see the tethering

So install those 2 files and you'll be good to go. Your boss should not see any extra charges, and you will still be able to use wifi router with no problems

good luck

Do any US Cellular subscribers have experience with the "ICS and WModem Fix" cab, and does it work as described on our "stock" Tp2s? I just wanna make sure first...

And, does wmwifirouter have the fixes cooked in, or do I need to go ahead and download the hotfix cabs?

So if you have an unlimited data plan, does it even matter if your provider (Sprint for me) detects tethering? Only had my TP2 a few days now, but have interest in this wifi router deal. Searching now for this cab.

yes it does. because you're supposed to get the optional PAM (phone-as-modem) plan to do tethering with you device.

im having a senior moment guys...but the stealth tethering cab that is in the sticky section will work with the touch pro...correct?
