Are you on a custom ROM? If so, most chefs build in stealth internet sharing so you won't get extra charges. You can also use wmwifirouter, but most if not all custom rom's have sharing built in.

there is some good advice re: not getting charged extra. The version of the app included on the stock ROM lets the carriers see what you are doing and allows them the opportunity to make it financially painful for you.

yeah just make sure you have the stealth tethering because if you dont you will get charged a sh** ton lol....someone i knew got caught by sprint and was charged almost $500. so just be carefull
