02-25-2010 05:27 AMIm just curious,. if you live in the middle of nowhere, and you get a good verizon signal - why the dial up/land line? It would cost you less going with a verizon mobile broadband set up wouldnt it?
I live in the middle of nowhere too, but, I get a lousy verizon signal. Im just praying for the day they put a tower up close enough to me where I can get a good 3g signal - then I am getting rid of my landline/dsl/extra expense!Pe 4 . 2

02-25-2010 06:05 AMDon't go overboard with the tethering or you might get caught by verizon. You aren't supposed to tether (rumor is that VZW will offer a tethering option for an additional monthly fee) so they might charge you if they find out (ie see that you're using a ton of data all of the sudden)

where are you guys getting these facts from?
what is the limit amount? is there even one? whos to say whats too much data and whats not if i pay for unlimited.. i might just surf on my phone 24/7 because i want too.. why is that not permitted?
i ask because my GF needs to get internet, and we were considering strictly using her android as her internet access point everyday... is that not a viable solution?
