Are you sure that it's not for "unlimited"? I only have basic account.

Can I use my phone to tether?
PAM is NOT available with SERO (Although some people fly under the Radar with Tethering for free with a Samsung disable DUN). A few phones can indeed tether undetected. Some of the smart phones (like the Palm 700wx/p) can tether after downloading some simple software found HERE. Other phones such as the a900m can do the same with a simple hack. Instructions on how to tether with your PPC6700 are found HERE. A hack for the 700p/755p can be found HERE(advanced user hack!).

In case noone noticed T-mobile is OUT for new subscribers getting inexpensive plans with tethering. XOHM is looking better.

XOHM is in, what, 2 cities, with 5 planned? None of which happen to be the city I'm in (NYC).

I was trying to get ahold of their Internet prices -- but since "my phone can't do it", they won't even show me the prices (sheesh ....)

here's the thread link at hofo
http://www.howardforums.com/showthre...&page=17&pp=30
Some peeps seem to be getting it, most not. However some have read their new terms and it seems they are not allowing tethering per TOS without a data plan.
And I happen to live in a WiMax area.

Regardless; the EDGE speeds are starting to feel creaky. I've been hoping 3G deployment will be more solid in NYC, and that I can buy a HTC independently ....
I was looking, as well, at WiMax as a potential alternative to my ISP at home -- no carriers in the city it appears (well, not anything realistic for home use ...), Keeping my fingers crossed ....

For someone who has access to wifi most of the time and need internet access on rare occasions where wifi is unavilable, the cheapest solution would be Boostmobile. For around $7 per month ($3.5 if "$10 for 3 months" reboost can be found) you get some minutes (which I don't use) and free internet access through iDEN network. You get dial-up speed, not broadband, but I used it exclusively (no wifi connection) on a 2 week vacation recently and managed to get connected, patiently
I plan to buy PCCW/HK and ChinaMobile/China and I got a triband phone and is working. I also got a gophone with the Atnt. But it is 100% not working. It works and tether to the tablet and get on net instantly, but even just to load a webpage, you are paying minute time of $.25 per min and dataplan of $.01 per kilo, just to load page is $5....and easily run over $50 just to look at a few site, not even dl. That plan is ridiculous. and unlimited data plan is NOT available to gohone.
