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.

Because if someone has an unlimited smartphone data plan, it'd be great to use it as a mobile laptop modem even for -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
