I have posted it several times before and no one has replied yet so far.

I have a CDMA TELUS that I bought from a friend and using FIDO on it.

I am planing to get the Data plan and worried that this will happen to me. WILL THIS AFFECT FIDO USERS?

Any help for my case? Anyone

My ROMs contain only IntShrUI.exe, which is 22.1kb in size. When I first activated my phone, I immediately went into EPST and removed the "dun" from my #@dun.vzw3g.com field. I also removed the OEM package that seems to kill a tethered connection after 5 minutes... can't remember the name of it right now.

I've been tethered for about 1.5 hours so far this morning, and haven't seen any issues. Of course, I won't know for sure until VZW updates my usage for today, sometime tomorrow.

I am using Verizon and Cfays Rom. I just checked my account and they have not charged me for the 68mb of data I have used so far. Should I be concerned?

no im asuming your emplyoing the ICS fix or he has already you VZW users seem to use Phone as modem to connect, this was an issue with telus users who used the usb to pc internet sharing popup.

No ICS fix installed on my part. He might have it built in? I am using the WiFi CMInternetSharing app/cab that was built into the ROM. No USB.

And this is why wmwifirouter is so great all kinds of hacks written right in to get around as much carrier detection as possible

OMG Just checked my data usage and got a god damn nice surprise:


Wow...I can't believe I didn't check this site more often....apparently I got tethering fees since Oct. 31

Installed the fix but got a question for all those who got screwed over:

Any of you guys got your fees waived? or even discounted?
What did you do or who did you talk to (specifically from telus)?

Damn I hope I don't have to pay this, and it seems like I got dinged the worst (second would be mightymike).

Any help is GREATLY appreciated. I'll definitely call telus though tomorrow.

EDIT: Just read the fine print in the telus contract
It says TETHERING IS INCLUDED. Doesn't that mean it's included with my unlimited plan?? I can maybe argue that and not be billed for over 2 grand??

Here's the data fine print:
** Additional usage will be charged at $0.05/MB. Cannot combine with any other data plan. Tethering included. Additional data is charged by the MB or GB and is rounded up to the closest KB (1 GB =1,024 MB; 1 MB = 1,024 KB). Data usage is subject to a monthly overage limit of 10 GB.

Good work on finding the issue!

I have a couple of questions:

1. Is this tracker in the stock Telus rom with WM6.0??

I will likely be flashing in a few days.

2. Is this just trackable with Intshr (which had to be installed) or is it still trackable if using it with WMWifirouter in conjuction with Intshr?

i, too, have a few questions:
1. whats the deal with tmobile?
2. can i use internet on my phone with my wifi home connection, without charge?
3. what is tethering? is it basically "stealing" internet from your provider?
thanks
