About LinkBacksSo I was thinking of adding a Verizon MiFi. I have unlimited data now on my phone. The chat went down as expected:
Jennifer P.: Your phone does have the capability to be used as a mobile hotspot. That service is $20 for 2GB per month, if you use your phone. If you add a new line, with the mifi device, the minimum plan available would be 5GB for $50 per month.
me: why wouldn't it be unlimited? i already have unlimited data with my phone
Jennifer P.: Because it is not the same as the data on the phone. This data is not used for your phone. It is used for other devices.
Actually, I did think I would have unlimited data for this.
What are my *legal* options? I know I can tether and may end up doing that, but don't want to end up in a situation where I get throttled or charged a bajillion.
tethering options? Mobile hotspot deals?

11-03-2011 09:57 AMThrottled on dx? Won't happen. Either root and use wireless tether or don't root and use easy tether with usb cord. I've used 130gb over a weekend using hotspot when it was free and unlimited, so I don't see them throttling you as you won't even come close with your slow connection.

11-03-2011 11:44 AMWell I have root, forever root, and all that so I guess I'll be going the tethered route. If something happens, I'll bump this thread. Thanks for the info! Very helpful.

11-06-2011 09:40 AMLol nice xeene. That's over the whole month though. To do that much in a weekend would require much more than an average of 2mb down, but that's a **** ton of data over 3g, Props man.
