That is a myth. I've been tethering for a long time with no pdanet and never been charge a single cent for tethering. Nobody claims that they were charge for tethering.

dial ##778#, click edit, enter ur msl, view info, data parameters, If U see a rev.a it says enable or disable.
Remember, You might have ur phone rev.a enebled but rev.a depends on coverage area.
Go to post #21 for instructions on how to get unlock code/MSL

I did ##778# (PST) and it opend EPST, then I clicked "View" instead of "Edit", view info, data parameters, Rev. A = Enable.

Didn't need my MSL.

Just tried this and didn't see the parameter. Here in Calgary Canada with Bell Touch mobile with latest upgrade. Guess Rev. A isn't here yet.

I tried that when I tried to edit instead of view. No go for me.

It's here in Edmonton, so I doubt it isn't in Calgary yet. Mines says RevA=Enable.

My HTC Mogul sprint does have this rev.a parameter but it was set to "disable". I am still using the stock ROM 3.35. I was able to edit this parameter to enable, reset the device and now it does show "Enable" does this confirm rev.a functionality on my phone or do I need to still upgrade to the latest ROM?

Also I am pretty happy with my current phone setting with WM6 and 3.35 ROM. Is there any compelling reason to upgrade to the latest ROM? Sprint websites mentions the below upgrades:
1. Upgrades the operating system from Windows Mobile® 6.0 Professional to Windows Mobile® 6.1 Professional
2. Adds Sprint TV
3. Includes all enhancements incorporated in previous software upgrades including:
EV-DO Rev. A functionality for faster download and upload speeds when utilizing data services wherever EV-DO Rev. A coverage is available
Advanced GPS functionality including the Sprint Navigation application
Adds a Task Manager to the Today screen for easier access and management of running programs

Apart from rev.a I am fine with the existing ROM.

Speeds attached

This is from an article in PC Magazine:

"Sprint and Verizon already use the EVDO type of wireless broadband connection, but limit it to PC cards, while the cellphones use the much slower EV-DO Rev. 0. The speed jump is nearly double. Rev. 0 operates between 400 and 700 kbps while Rev. A bumps that up to 600 to 1400 kbps."

So, if you do a speed test and get a dl faster than 700kbps, you're probably Rev A enabled.

Would like to get this working on my touch for alltel to, if there is no setting how do we get it or get the setting there?
