Well, danger is relative... I consider a nickle per meg to be a cause for peril

as I'm sure MM has now learned.

Maybe "hazardous" would be a better choice of word

When you connect with internet sharing are you selecting "data network" or "phone as modem" ? I just noticed that on mine I have Sprint. As of right now no charges.

That being said, tethering is dangerous and you should assume the liability.

No kidding...I was recently in Cancun and got lost driving around town at night with my family. I turned on Google maps for like 10 seconds to get my location...to my surprise I was charged 14 bucks for 257 KB of data.

Ok so I'm new to this forum and site but did geta suprise this weekend when attempting to tether my TP2 on Tmobile. When it would connect, I was advised that Tmobile has disabled this feature "officially" due to the traffic on their 3G network. Only 2G Winmo phones, the Wing and the Dash, and all Blackberries are able to tether with Tmobile these days. Many of you already know this probably.

I think Verizon is on to us as well. They're just a little nicer about it. When trying to tether I get this screen on my browser. At least they don't let me browse then charge me for it.

This is what I get when using Mighty's latest ROM. I took it for a sign of don't use it for tethering. Hopefully this gets straightened out.

Maybe we should all donate some $$ to MightyMike for this to help him out.

I don't get this message using HTC wifirouter. That's all I use for tethering since the intergrated app doesn't support Bluetooth. I can't see them catching you using this app.

wait, 300mb=1300 dollars? wtf? are you fighting it mighty?

**imnuts** · #10 (**permalink**) 11-15-2009, 07:33 PM

At a rate of $0.05/MB, that would be about 25-26GB for the $1300 charge. Something doesn't seem to be adding up right there.
