using a smartphone as laptop modem - Re: [Hidden-tech] Re: unlocking cell phones - how's Sprint for 3G 'roundthese parts?

It depends on your carrier and plan. Sprint limits unlimited data to 5GB
only on their wireless modem and Phone As Modem (PAM) plans. If you have a
Sprint cellphone plan with unlimited data, there is no limit. There are ways
to tether undetected so that you will not need a PAM plan for your phone. I
have a WiFi phone, and use a freeware application (WMWifiRouter) that turns
my phone into a WiFi router. I just start the application on my phone and
connect my laptop to it like an access point. Works great.

smartphone vs. a wireless adapter connector for 'regular' computer data
transmission?

use it as a mobile laptop modem even for
