With no charges from Verizon? Link please!

[thericksonebay]

yes with no additional charges you can google pdanet for android and also go to motorola dot com and support for the drivers. ( although pdanet is free for the first 30 days then after that it cost 29.95) but by then there will be somone else who has a free one

WARNING!!

Please be careful tethering with PDANet.

I know people who have gotten caught by Verizon for unauthorized tethering (tethering without a plan) and were charged for all data used.

thanks for the warning but i have used this program every since my first windows mobile phone and have never had problems. your laptop just uses the data from the phone and not through verizons high priced tethering option that isnt even available until sometime next year hopefully soon somone will do a wifi tethering

wow great job by you... set it up in 2 minutes, and it works like a charm (albeit a little slow)...

how can VZN tell whether you are tethering or using data directly on the cellphone?

[Baconstrip]

If you have an unusual amount of data going through (like if you're torrenting) that could probably raise some red flags Other than the amount of data used, there's no way they can tell..

gotcha... but if you have an unlimited plan, VZN should keep their trap shut. there are apps on android that can consume quite a lot of bandwidth, from what i've seen...

now if you're downloading 50 gigs a week, then MAYBE a red flag should come up :lol:
