Did Sprint cancel "Phone as Modem" services altogether?

As of the 15th, I haven't been able to tether my internet connection using either WMWifiRouter, WalkingHotSpot, or the default HTC Internet sharing program. It creates the wifi fine and any kaptops or devices jump in the network just fine but it shows a yellow exclamation point that says "No Internet Available."

I called Sprint and they claimed to have cancelled phone as modem service since 2-14. I even offered to upgrade to a more expensive plan and she said ir would still be impossible.

Is this true? Is there not a workaround? Because I wouild die sometimes without the ability to just yank out the netbook/laptop and con

No it isn't canceled altogether. You may want to call back. But with the custom roms you shouldn't need the 15$ plan for PAM. I cant test my connection out right now, can anyone else confirm whether their wifi works.

Re: Did Sprint cancel "Phone as Modem" services altogether?

That sucks. Do you think I should try to reflash? I have an old rom, MightyRom the first one that came out.

Also, when I signed up for Sero one of the advertising points was the ability to tether (the phone was the Mogul at the time). Shouldn't I be able to complain to someone to get it back? They didn't offer me the 15$ phone as modem option. Both the people I talked to yesterday told me they took the option away entirely, though another guy on chat told me I just have to upgrade to 69.99$ plan from my current SERO 30$

So I'm going to connect to chat again and see what happens
