Plugging your phone into a laptop and using the phones data (3G/2G) connection to get online with your laptop.
It is designed when there is no wifi around, but you have a phone with a data connection. Some networks allow it for free with certain phones, others lock it down and charge ridiculous rates.

I was wirelessly tethering my old G1 on t-mobile over a year ago, but I had to do a minor hack to get it to work. It is extremely useful, especially at airports, libraries etc. where they charge you for internet use. Thank God Verizon doesn't charge any extra for it. And as for the 2Gb limit, that is pretty easy to go over. I had a 1Gb limit while living in the UK last year and went over almost every month, mostly from background data going through.

I do a lot of streaming of Sirius and of a local radio station on my iphone, especially while travelling. Is the 2GB going to be a concern for me?

Tethering" is the use of your cell phone -- or other Internet-enabled mobile device -- as a modem for another device, usually a notebook or PDA. The connection is made either with a cable (USB or serial) or wirelessly through bluetooth (or, in the good old days, via infrared or IrDA). BTW, AT&T is digging thier own grave with the iPhone!

agree. although 2.1 update for my MotoDroid was a big chunk of fail, hoping 2.2 fixes that, i still like it and verizon's plans (for now) better than at&t and anything steve jobs puts out

I agree, they are digging their own grave.

Get used to it! From what I understand it won't be long before most of the other companies do something similar. With society moving away from fixed home PC use, and towards mobile smartphone/PDA use in the cloud, we will all continue to use more and more bandwidth.
Personally I am glad they are doing this. I use the sh*t out of my 3GS and I have never gotten over 1gb in a month. Most months I am around 600mb. My wife never uses more than 30mb because she always uses her phone at home on wi-fi. So this new deal from AT&T will actually save us about $200 a year. Who here consistently uses 2gb+ per month?! I mean that is a lot of prOn!! Everybody bitches that AT&T's networks are plugged up with iPhone users, so they take steps to reign in the most egregious offenders (about 2% of users) and everybody has a meltdown. When Verizon does the same thing in a month or two what are you guys going to do then? Move to T-Mobile?! Bottom line, if you want to dine at the all you can eat buffet, be prepared to pay for it! I don't want to subsidize the douchebag living in his momma's basement downloading 10gb a month. |

Get one of the HTC models then. They're great and I've had no problems with my past models, that's why I got the new Incredible on Verizon. Plus, HTC puts its own proprietary interface on there which is a nice improvement over the standard Android 2.1. It's true though, Motorola does have some issues. I didn't like the way the Droid's slider worked and the general feel of the phone.

I had Verizon, but they had TERRIBLE Customer Service in this area and thier plans are expensive like hell.
I will stick with AT&T and wait until the iPhone 4 fever to come down to get mine before I have to renew my contract. They will honor the grandfather clause for current customers. I'm please with the one I got, unlimited texting, rollover minutes, and for Internet mine for 3 phones and I still pay less than just regular the regular calling plan and limited texting for myself with Verizon.
