Expensive =\

So my service with the iPhone would go over 110 bucks a month if I wanted to use it on my laptop. I'll pass.

I guess it is a nice alternative though to paying a separate 60 bucks a month for aircard service.

*jaw hits floor*

They're already scalping you on the data plan and now that. I'll pass too.

Isn't Sprint everything plan give you unlimited text and data? Then just get a PDA and you tether all you want.

I have the old SERO ($30/month) and I can tether all I want.

Nope. Sprint switch to the 5GB plan too, just like everyone else.

You arent suppose to and some have been given quite the hefty data bill for tethering with there phones without a Phone as Modem plan. Occasional usage seems to be OK though.

My bills still say unlimited online. Do other peoples say 5 GB?

Mine says unlimited, but the Vision Data plan is for "casual" phone based usage, not tethering. I believe the TOS states that when we signed up. If you had phone as modem it would say 5 GBs.

I have never come close to 5 GB. You are correct about the TOS too.

It is an unlimited plan.. it just has a 5GB cap on it for abuse.

Sounds like my "unlimited pay check" just has a cap on it each month to prevent me from abusing it.

If it's unlimited, then there is no cap, period, end of discussion. If they have abusers, for example: like starbucks hooking these up and allowing multiple people to use it; then they should drop those abusers, but if it's advertised as unlimited, there should be no cap AT ALL.

Re: Expensive =\

Yes, like my "unlimited paycheck". If I decide to work 80 hours a week and get a bunch of overtime without the approval of my manager I will get paid for 80 hours that week. And the next week I will no longer have a job. Much like the "unlimited" data plan will allow you to download as much as you want, and if you go over 5 months you will find yourself without service the next month.
