Hacking your phone in order to get free tethering is breaking the terms and conditions of your contract. It is like unscrambling your cable in order to get free HBO. I just wanted to clarify this for folks. If caught, the carrier may back bill you or kick you off their network.
Tethering is a great feature and i encourage people to consider it as a viable option for internet access. However, carriers expect people to pay for the service. Just because there are ways to steal the service, does not make it right.
Yup, absolutely. And the phone companies are very generous with their offerings, take a look at the charges for tethered use vs data on the phone itself. PDAnet has been around for a lot of years and while I used it back when I had a phone that V would not permit tethered using their software I have held it in reserve for the day when I need more than 2 gb of "tethered" data in a month and V wants the full cost of 2 gb for the next 1 gb. Then I will use PDAnet and the large corp can come and find me.
