Did Sprint cancel "Phone as Modem" services altogether?

mine is fine and i have the free tetherplan option on my account...

Let me correct you......tethering is not free from sprint or from any carrier for that matter....there is no such thing as the free tetherplan. Also, the OP did not state that they were using a cooked rom or stock. It doesn't matter at this point....unless your installing a .cab or using a cooked rom tethering will not work.

Check my bill out, notice it says Phone As Modem, Included

Just because it isn't on your account doesn't mean others don't have it on their account for free...

Some ppl here even pay for tethering and their phone will tether w/o any reg change....

When you have the tether plan added to your account, you can tether right out the NIB....

Besides the cab you speak of is only a simple registry change which the cab does for those who don't want to enter their registry themselves....

ummm yes the op did....
the person who didn't was the Piratedninja post you quoted but that doesn't change anything because having a flashed rom and calling sprint doesn't matter ....
theres no way sprint can tell if your on stock or custom unless you spill the beans....
if your going on the basis that you need a tethering cab or flashed rom to be able to tether than above post killed that notion...

Yes you are correct about being able to tether right out of NIB IF you have tethering added to your account. Where you are wrong is to say that tethering is free. I have no doubt with your account posting that you have tethering included on your account. The question is.... can this be reproduced? This is not a option for most and probably will not happen unless there is a CS rep from Sprint dumb enough to add it for free.

Your arguing your own posts now....

Never did I state that someone could get free pam addon presently....
Nor did I state tethering was free...

My tethering is free but it was done via a code that was valid 2-3 years ago...
I have the free PAM add-on, as you see in the picture...
I'm not the only one here that has the free pam add-on

Whether or not it can't be reproduced is besides the point....
Can you reproduce a $30 sero plan through Sprint right now? Not likely but does that mean there is no such thing as Sero??

Both of your links don't apply to the discussion we are having....

1st link....All that was done to my account was a add-on....My sero plan has always been a fair and flex since I opened.....Before I added PAM all that is listed in the pic above everything was listed the same and the only change was PAM added on the list and checked....
No changing of data packs, I believe that applies to ppl that got Sero before esamble billing happened....

2nd link has to do with someone that had an everything plan that thought PAM was included in the plan without addon's....
Interesting enuff I know cpl of Sprint customers that have PAM included onto their everything plans....

When dealing with Sprint you may encounter 10 different answers to the same exact question....

It is possible if you were out of contract and called retentions that they would add free pam to account to keep it if they the SOC codes present and the ability to add them....
I'm unsure because I haven't had the need or desire to contact retentions....

Last reply back to you sir....
The main purpose of my first post was that you were trying to point out that someone was uneducated and did something wrong and it happened to be that you were the person that was uneducated and made a bad statement...
