Charges for Wireless Tether?????

[tjbessey]

I am using the wireless tether function in the new setup that I have since I flashed the new rom. Is there a fee that is charged for that? I don't pay for PDA net and would rather use that if wireless tether is not fee.

This phone rocks since the upgrade. How many computers can tether wirelessly to the Eris at once?

I haven't tried it yet but if you set it up properly it looks like it will issue 24 ip addresses. If I were you and you were doing a lot of tethering I would set up some sort of encryption or a pass phrase so you're not giving free wireless out. ALSO and this is important, I've heard but haven't had this happen to me, that VZW will question your usage after 5gig, especially if your usage in the past hasn't been that high. So be warned, but have fun tethering, it's great when there isn't a near by wireless.
