Wireless Hot Spot App

[WanderMan]

I don't want to come across as the "data usage police" but if a lot of people do this it could ruin the "unlimited data" option we all currently enjoy.

ATT is getting ready to get rid of the unlimited data option becasue their crappy network can't handle all the smartphone traffic.. IF we abuse the priviledge too much Verizon could follow suit..

Just a thought.

Thanks for your thought, now here is my thought. If Verizon's can't handle the traffic their customers want, then they do no deserve us as customers.

We want unlimited data, if Verizon can't provide it, we'll just go to T-mobile or some other company that offer unlimited data.

This is a free market. I want to be a Verizon customer if Verizon is the best network, if they can't handle the traffic, then they are not the best anymore.

FYI, I used to have the capability to turn my phone into a wifi hotspot on my old Alltel Touchpro, but since I switched to the Verizon Droid, I lost that capability.

I did not expect that. I thought the Droid was the best phone out there, so it would be able to do anything the Alltell Touchpro could do. This does not look good for Verizon so far... I hope the app becomes available soon.

You can do this but you need to be rooted and also have to install a custom rom with a different kernal which allows this.

Theres a thread in the Hacks Section that gives directions on how to root, install and backup.

Be sure to back up your Droid first before anything else!

ATT's problem isn't their "crappy" network it's that their network is saturated by iPhone traffic in areas. If you would do your research you would find that out.
