TP ICS Tethering - Will I be Charged?

[Phreddo]

if you get a data card plan, that has a 5 gb cap

I also use the stock rom and tether all the time. I haven't ever been billed in 3 years. I believe in the 5GB theory myself and always keep my usage to half of that.....tops, so that I don't draw attention to myself.

in all honesty you are not suppose to but many people do anyway. if you get caught they will make you pay but thats if your caught

How did you get VZ to give you an unlimited data plan, they would only sell me a 5gb plan?

Does it make a difference if you use Bluetooth PAN, USB Pan, Bluetooth DUn or Wifi router?

It's fast enough to stream Hulu and Slingbox and I can see myself using this often while on the road. Just want to make sure there is no nasty bill in my mailbox when i get home.

lol..u dont even know it, but u just said WHY u wudnt get that nasty bill

if u try to use the PAM username, sprint'll try to charge u. but if u use ur regular powervision username, all the activity goes thru that username which u pay an unlimited data plan for. thats probably why they went up to $30 for powervision pda plans. but u shud be fine. if u do ever worry, go into the advanced option and tap select networks and make sure sprint is only checked
