11-18-2011 07:32 PMThere's always the option of rooting your phone and doing it for free...though Verizon does look down upon that option but how would they know? Lol

11-18-2011 07:34 PMIf you pay their tethering fee is does not violate their Terms of Service. I you steal the service, it does violate their terms of service. I don't there's a "legality" issue, just an issue with violating a contract you signed.

11-18-2011 07:45 PMI think the way they will catch you is if you use like 39 gigs. Originally Posted by BayouFlyFisher

11-18-2011 07:48 PMThe OP is talking about USB tethering, not Wifi hotspot. USB tethering never prompts you for anything, it just connects your PC to the internet. At least the USB tethering built into the Bionic's OS doesn't; not sure about the Droid 2. Originally Posted by Psychoknight14

11-19-2011 10:23 AMIt's a good way to lose your phone service if you're caught.

11-19-2011 11:34 PMNot sure if they go that far, I've heard they usually just charge you either a fee or charge for their official tethering package Originally Posted by silverfang77

11-19-2011 11:47 PMIt is Verizilegal provided you pay for tethering. However, not paying for it is not.
Rooting is also Verizilegal (this is different from warrantylegal) provided you don't circumvent any of the TOS restrictions. i.e. tethering without paying for it.
