funny thing is that within a couple of years, bluetooth and wifi may well cooperate to do this automatically:

OK, so far we have a few sites that will turn your phone into a wireless router.

DO i HAVE to pay Sprint or AT&T an extra $30 or $60 which will allow the phone to tether before using any off these sites. Or does the phone simply needs to able to go online?

Maybe I only need a voice plan on my phone?

After doing some reading recently on howardforums.com, I found the consensus to be that you cannot activate a "smartphone" without a data plan.

That's certainly not the case in the UK, although some carriers apply that rule for some phones (e.g. T-Mobile with the G-1).

Yeah, our 'cousins' get screwed by the carriers. We don't realise how lucky we are in Europe.

I can leave the NIT connected to my E90's DUN all day (as long as both are on a charger!!) without paying any extra.

Very useful at work, where we are afflicted with *spit* Websense on our desktops.




(Unless you just happen to find out which proxy connection is almost unrestricted on the work LAN...)

that is true....you have to keep you're data plan for 6 months; as far as I know.

I was trying to find out if these softwares requires a data plan to work?
Or does the phone only needs to be online?
