Tethering w/Alltel

[fldash]

I'm curious. I see the hacks for the Sprint tethering to keep it from being picked up, but when I check the registry on my Alltel phone none of them exist. Does Alltel not track this? or do they do it differently?

I don't have a tether plan, but I do hook my phone to my computer while at work to keep it charged because I stream music on it all day long (64k stream)...

What's the rules regarding this? Thanks.

You know i have no idea... they want an extra 10 bucks a month for tethering and i guess you get a code but i dont have it and use IS all the time, expecially when im not at home... maybe they upgrade you to the 40xxx prls but thats easy to do by myself.... idk

What's so special about the 40xxx PRL? Should I upgrade to it manuall?

i think the 40xxx prl is used for blackberry (because of the stupid "everything has to go through our servers" thing) and evdo pcmcia cards... Its suppose to have more evdo towers in it... tested in davenport iowa, 3xxxx didnt have evdo there and 40xxx did!

Weird... I have EVDO just not Rev/A.

you will have evdo just not all the evdo you could have

40XXX PRL were nice about a year ago, they were the first series to allow roaming on sprint EVDO, and maybe they are still the only ones that still do. But I know back in 2007 the big deal about the 40XXX was it allowed for spring EVDO on data cards. And they were mainly used for data cards.

for a list of all PRL files see this site.

Without the tether code, you will use airtime while tethering, in theory. Don't use it, so I'm not sure.
