1 edit | Actually a $4.99 Discount As stated in the article, one really only gets a $4.99 discount. The whole unofficial tethering idea is like playing Russian roulette since they could legally zing you will a large bill.
However, Sprint used to make PDA/Pocket PC owners pay extra for email access, but now is included in their $15/month plan. Also, they have a share plan (2 lines) with unlimited SMS and "unlimited data" + 1500 min. for $130 which isn't a bad deal.
It really is too bad that Sprint did implement a 5GB cap. I do wonder if AT&T and other backbone providers forced them into that situation. | |

| Mogul as a wireless router I pay $15 for unlimited data and use a program called wmwifi router that basically uses ICS to share my phones internet connection.
I've never paid a dime in additional fees and have been downloading HUGE files. Been using it for well over a year now. | |

| Re: Mogul as a wireless router I've been tethering since the days of the A800 phone (the one that looked like an egg). I've been tethering about 6 years. Then with the PPC6700 and now with the Mogul.
I've never tethered more than a couple of gigs in a month... So far nothing.
As a matter of fact, one time I made my phone dial a number via my laptop, and I was charged, I called sprint and told them, hey I have an unlimited data plan, what's the issue here. So promptly credited my account the 2 dollars they over charging me. | |

Just a FYI, i did 40GB last billing cycle and so far 15GB this billing cycle and sprint has not said one thing to me yet. If there is a 5GB cap, they don't enforce it one bit. | |

When I check my usage on the site, it still says "XXX MB out of UNLIMITED" on it...
