02-03-2010 04:33 PMTeathering is a feature on the Droid or any other phone that you get through verizon and the charge for the feature is 30 to 60 dollars for having it on your plan.

02-03-2010 04:55 PMDon't use an extravagant amount of data per month and you'll probably go undetected. No guarantees though. As they say, use at your own risk. Originally Posted by Neko

02-03-2010 04:56 PMAdd it on to your plan. They deffinately can tell by your data usage. I have seen it happen.

02-03-2010 05:02 PMThe problem as it stands right now is that I don't believe there is an official tethering plan for the Droid, so it can't be added. Originally Posted by aacanela73

I don't tether much, only if I'm in an area with no WiFi and need to do something on my laptop. -

02-03-2010 05:16 PMYou know you may be right about that.. I can't check if it can be added to my phone because I can't change or add features to my account. But you may just be right. I try to talk people out of teathering and into data cards all the time so IDRK but they can see the data usage and compare to the general population. They see everything.......
