Wow....

If youre using your phone to give your computer an internet signal... YES, youre using your Data plan on your phone.

2megs is NOTHING, i just checked my account, since the 19th of last month, i have used 421,562 KB just using my phones browser. For the illiterate, thats 421 MEGS...

Why wont you add the $10 PV package?

You need to read more carefully, he is using his computer to provide Internet access to the phone, not the other way around.

I did read very carefully. He still isnt very clear on HOW his computer or phone is hooked up. He never says that he has home internet either. Why, if you are sitting at your computer, would you use your phone instead?

Because something on his phone needs to access the net and he has a crappy data plan. For example what if he wanted configure email on the phone but didn't want to use his crappy data plan.

Do you really think he doesn't realize he can access the net on his phone without being connected to the computer? The only purpose for connecting the computer then saying you are using the internet on my phone in the same sentence is to use the computer's net connection.
