Can Sprint detect internet sharing on windows mobile phones
 
I have heard some conflicting issues about this. Is there anyway for Sprint to detect internet sharing on the HTC Touch Pro? I can connect via ICS with out any reg edits or any additional installs. I have unlimited data.

I'm curious of the same thing. I also have an unlimited data plan, and could be out of a job (auto supplier) in the near future, and am considering dropping my home ISP in order to use this unlimited plan I have. I would like to know if the 5GB limited would aplly to me tethering and browsing using my phone...

You can make sure they won't care if you pay them for the service. Then, you can look yourself in the mirror and not see a crook looking back! :headbang:

If you use it for casual use then i dont think it will be a problem.

on the other hand, ive never paid for it, no 15 dollar a month plan, and never got any additional charges for it. Can they detect it?? YES, but ive never seen them charge anyone unless someone abused it. I think its a loophole

i'm pretty sure he was talking about the extra tethering plan (which is unnecessary for these phones). of course you're going to get charged for KB usage if you don't have any data plan for your phone, since ICS uses that plan

umm duh yeah u need a data plan. any person who tethers without a data plan needs to get smacked in the nose with a 2x4.

were talking about the $15 dollar a month PAM add-on. I know plenty of people with data plans that dont have the PAM add-on who have never been charged extra.(including myself before I was put on an employee plan)

I SAID that they can detect it but usually dont charge u if u have a data plan unless u abuse it. Of course they dont advertise this, that would be dumb, but most of us know this.

Can they charge you? Yes. Will they probably not. Can you fault them if they do? No.

my guess is your wife was charged because she did not have data plan
