Bell Touch & Tethering

[MistahTibbs]

Just an FYI.

Early this morning...around 2am I used my Bell Touch to tether using PDANet to play some online poker at work.

Long story short?

Checked my billing today and all of the data is listed as mobile browser at no charge. Yay! Watching the "meter" on my laptop I had a combined data up/download of about 28 MB over the time I played. The laptop was also downloading updates for antivirus and windows at the same time.

So, it's all good for now. And I won $26 playing poker.

Win, win as they say.

These two roms have tethering installed in them....both based off of bells new 3.09 rom.
But I warn you please tether at your own risk.
I've been tethering for about 3 months and have not been billed for it using NFSFAN's rom, but that's me.....for you it might be different or may not.
I don't download anything though, just surf

thank you for the info... I've also used NFSFAN's ROM before for
tethering, but what I've found strange is that it does NOT produce
ANY entries (not even "Mobile Browser") in the usage detail in my bill..

I found this suspicious... if tethering goes unnoticeable, it should give the entries of the "Mobile Browser" type.. should not it?
I've not received any extra charges so far, though...

Nevertheless, I'm curious to try that "internet sharing" with new Bell ROM..
(which does not have "internet sharing " installed,
instead it contains something called "wireless modem"...

I wonder whether one can install that "Internet sharing" via cab?

P.S. It seems to me that (at least currently) NFSFAN's ROM is NOT based on new Bell's rom 3.09, but on something older?

P.S. how PDAnet is different from "wireless modem" already present in the ROMs..

in case anyone knows?

NFSFAN's Bell rom tethers just fine via ICS ... It always shows up on my bill as mobile browser, and I have never been charged. always $0.00.

If you dont believe me, ask him for yourself.

I see no need for pdanet, when with proper reg hacks you can achieve the same result with internet connection sharing.

agreed, i can definetly say the same for omj's rom and dh's as well. and this is without using pdanet.

Bell might be cracking down on PDAnet. I've been charged for data while using PDAnet. Don't know if it's a bug in the program, or Bell has figured it out.
