Ok well anyone that uses or does thethering can you please clarify if you just have to download the app or what is necessary to do this?
Thanks
I have comcast so I guess im good.
Is tethering like illegal? or why even make that comment. Like what harm can it cause?
Unless you are rooted, there are two apps that I know of that will allow you to tether. PDA Net and EasyTether. Download one of those apps from the Market and then install as usual. When you open the app for the first time, it will take you through a wizard that will explain what you need to do in an easy format. If, after trying the step above, you still have problems, then come back here and let us know what's going on.
As for restrictions. PDA Net will restrict you from visiting https: sites unless you pay $30 while Easytether does the same unless you pay $9.99. I, personally use Easytether but have had a lot of issues since upgrading to 2.1.
oh no, its not illegal(well not that I am aware of), service companies just want to make you pay as much as possible. So they can sell you an extra option to your account.

Verizon charges $59.99/mo to tether ordinary cell phones. They call it "Mobile Broadband Connect". When they release it for the Eris they say they will charge $29.99/month. That's in addition to the required $29.99 data plan we already have.I've never seen the $60 charge anywhere. How do they know when you are tethering. I got the PdaNet to usb tether, it was easy and worked well.
Now the bluetooth tethering is a whole different animal. I am still wrestling with that one to get it to work.
Oops.Actually, on Verizon, if you tether with your cellphone it's $49.99. $59.99 is with a card.
It's not 5 MB it's 5 GB

Oops.
You're right on both counts, Hunter.
The $59.99/mo charge is for dedicated data devices, aka "USB modems" and the like.
It didn't mess up my phone.Can Anyone confirm this works/ doesn't mess up the phone?
