LinkBack URL
About LinkBacksI just got the Droid Eris yesterday. I have NO idea what i need to do to tether with it. I bought a new lap top and a smart phone so i could do this whole tethering thing. Initially i decided i would just get an iphone and there would be plenty of ways for to figure out how to jailbreak it or whatever. But this Android OS doesnt seem to be as popular yet. I wanted to stay with Verizon though and i got the Eris for $50. So.... what do i do?
I would also greatly appreciate it if everyone didnt just say SEARCH. i've done searches. Maybe i'm not looking for the correct subject? Links would be great.
Thank you!

11-15-2009 03:31 PMI think you can purchase the tethering package from Verizon which costs an arm and a leg, but I don't have an Eris so I can't help you any further than that. Hope you get a better answer!

11-15-2009 04:21 PMWell yes, i do know that tethering will be availible from Verizon. But i'd rather not payt those idiots more money for a service i already have. Why charge more to tether AND cap it off at like 5 GB or something like that?

11-15-2009 04:24 PMthere is no 5G cap on your unlimited data plan for your cell. that cap is for their mobile broadband offerings.

11-15-2009 04:51 PMI tether my Eris and have the $29.99 data plan. No issues and it works great.
You need to install PDAnet on your PC, set your phone to USB Debug mode, and have PDAnet install itself on the phone. Its easy.
