have you gotten in trouble for this ??? I heard they can charge you for it ??? let me knowww ???? cause i been wanting to use it but i dont want my account to be cancelled or for me to owe a crap ton of money ??? let me know please
@raymofuwk They don't charge for tethering. They don't "officially" support tethering. It is disallowed in the terms of use when you sign up but they only terminate account that are using gigabytes of data like downloading multiple movies or other high-data tasks. You'll be fine for just browsing the internet.
Dude -- thanks so much for posting this! I was just about to root my phone (which requires downloading the Android SDK and the Java JDK and a bunch of other crap) when I found this. WHY IS THIS METHOD NOT MORE WELL KNOWN? None of the tutorials on the web mention this at all, which makes me think there must be a reason. Hmm.. Anyway, kudos.
thats not the fastest android phone thats one of the lowest end android phones. its awesome though $25 a month and unlimited internet it is an awesome deal and a super cool app
