Like will anyone slam me with a large bill for tethering?


I have been using the 5.99 plan from t-mobile, but recently upgraded to the 29.99 plan. Now I might as well switch and get two phones with internet access for 30$
Why the T-Mo $30 vs T-Mo Total internet for $20?
It seems that only T-Mo allows tethering, all others see it as a violation of the TOS.
I'm just planning on switching from Verizon to T-Mo.

Are you in one of their markets that will have 3G by the end of the year? If so, I might wait til the end of the year before I move.

.... $29.99 plan? Their data add-on options run $5.99 or $19.99.

$29.99 is if you're doing data only, no voice/messaging, right? Is that what you're doing on T-Mo right now?

OK, so I stand corrected, its 19.99 not 29.99, either way, I want faster speed than edge.


Both Verizon and ATT cover my areas with 3G.

Based on recent EC/EP development I added some information about EU & Roaming tariffs. It doesn't necessarily belong in this very entry though.

I am looking for a faster provider. I currently have T-Mobile USA

What is better service
ATT Family plan 2 lines 1400 minutes with medianet unlimited for 119$ (With rollover)

Verizon Family plan 2 lines 1400 minutes with Vcast unlimited for 119$

Both plans are 89$ with 15$ per phone for medianet or vcast.

I am just looking for some input as to whether one of these are better than the other, or are there any problems with tethering using nokia device and vcast/medianet options. Like will anyone slam me with a large bill for tethering?


I have been using the 5.99 plan from t-mobile, but recently upgraded to the 19.99 plan. Now I might as well switch and get two phones with internet access for 30$

-----------------

I already asked this question, but I really didn't get an answer, or at least one I was looking for...

They both scare me, actually.

That's why I'm on T-mobile -- unlimited, above-board tethering with no worries about suspicious usage patterns or anything. I believe Verizon should be faster, right? OTOH, ATT is "standard" (i.e. GSM) equipment, so usable in Europe, etc. (Or just get your T-mo terminal unlocked (if it's not) and hang onto that...)

I've no actual experience with either, though.

I would really like a faster connection, unlimited slowness is not what I am looking for

I just figured people would be like yeah I use it all the time, no worries. Apparently, thats not the case?

Check the Howard forums, Verizon is EXTREMELY picky.
I have a LG9800, neat screen, keyboard and used to be able to run HoTTproxy and get free web access, they shut it down. Now transfer any data and they charge you thru the roof unless you use their data plan and THEIR phone NO TETHERING.
T-Mo you call up and they will walk you thru tethering.

No, we're cheapskates!

Though with that said, the price of data in the UK is down to a justifiable level now (I have wifi at home and work so little motivation to pay for something slower, until I'm away and need it. Grrr!). Bring on the N900!

Ok guys.

I took the plunge and got a new nokia n95 8gb. I changed carriers with cingular and now i took the media net unlimited plan for 15$.

Speeds:

latency: 67.1ms

Download : 945

upload : 269

Speeds from speedtest.net

Why does at&t allow tethering if we are not supposed to tether?

And will they take any action if i use a lot of data?

Thanks
