First off, does it charge me for any data usage even though I have an unlimited data package. I think it's awesome that I can get on the internet from my phone wherever I'm at and charge my phone at the same time. I don't want to be using this if it's going to charge me a gazillion dollars after the fact.

as far as verizon knows, it looks like you're just streaming a whole lot of...well anything presumably.

Also, I just started using it, if I navigate away from the screen on my phone will it turn it off? Say I want to check a message or something....

shouldn't, no

Thanks in advance,

I wouldn't run any torrents or anything on a tether, but otherwise there's not much they can do. if you've got a lower 3g signal, use opera turbo it really helps out with lower bandwidth and data compression.
