Bell Tethering

[ipod69]

Hey, i was wondering what process one would follow if they were looking to tether with bells $7 data plan and not recieve any additional charges. I have not been able to get a straight answer and i want to know if this is even possible.

Thanks

The first post of NFSCAN's thread says that his ROM allows free tethering. But I'm afraid to test it - the "punishment" can be too expensive.

I would wait till the day before your billing date, try it on a few basic websites and then wait until your bill shows/come available. Just to be sure.

Download and install PDANet, its the only safe way to Tether.

I have heard that it is as simple as a registry entry change, but I don't know what or where to make the change. I am using omj's bell oem rom and don't know if it implements this registry hack.

if anyone knows what change is necessary please feel free to post. Thanks!

Aren't you worried that Bell will implement some tweak in the future and you will be surprised by a multi-thousand dollar bill?

This is exactly what I did with PDANet (using the Bell stock ROM) about 2 months ago, hooking my phone up to my EEE PC.

It worked flawlessly.

Now using NSFANs ROM, and still had no extra billing on tether.

I would ALWAYS recommend doing the same 'day or two before billing' test the first time, just to be sure.

I know that people swear by pdanet, but I would just rather edit the registry myself and use the native abilities of my rom and bluetooth to tether. I've searched around but still have not found a definitive answer as to what changes are necessary.

then just get pdanet.. as I have posted many times before about this topic.. the registry edits do not stop from being changed.. it WILL catch up to you. then they will back date and you will be Billed HUGE$$$$$$$
