to each their own I guess.

yeah id definitely say tethering is a way bigger theft problem than scamming devices.. how many people scam devices, not a ton really.. how many tether, like everyone on this or any other PPC/mod geared type site.. so were talking about 100s of thousands of people tethering..

you mustve missed this http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread...ight=tethering where Mighty Mike shows off his $1400 bill and a few others show theirs as well... all for tethering... thats 1 person, in one months time...

now, how much $$$ are we collectively Avoiding in tethering charges?? it FAR out weighs some scammed phones that really cost the carrier significantly less than we get em for anyways..

so what, your stealing too, just not bad as me??? thats like saying you stole one piece of candy and i stole 5 so im worse... yet you stole a piece to yourself...

if your stealing too, which you are, then you really have no right at all to judge my level of scams...

just makes you a hypocrite is all.. atleast im open about what i do and dont try to sugar coat it so i dont look bad..

now wait a minute, didn't tethering work right out of the box with this phone? i have done nothing intentionally to try and hide it or added any cabs to make it work.
i'm not trying to stealth tether, and if they bill me, so be it. there is a reason I carry around a 4g usb (clearwire) stick. i only tether as a last option. they have never billed me for it, or most people for that matter. i think it is the frequent bandwith hogs that eventually get hit.

you needed to tether, as "a last option", for 10+hrs?? lol, nice try...

and no, didnt work right out of the box... why you think every noob has to make a post about how to get it working, its obviously not plug and play.. and if you have a custom ROM, its already cooked in..

look at page 167 of the sprint tp2 manual.

and fyi, I was working out of town and barely had 3g signal, no 4g like I do in town, and no wifi where I was at, so I like I said, last resort.
