Tethering with a Verizon Droid

Has anyone found a way to tether one of the new Verizon Droid phones to the IPad? Specifically, I have the Ally VS740.

If it can be done:

• Will I need to modify my Verizon plan?
• What kind of cable will I need and where can I get one?
• What are the costs for this?

Thanks for any help!

 

You basically have to "root" or "unlock" your Droid then you can install program that makes it a wifi router/hotspot... go to ppcgeeks.com for more info and lots of help (I'm a moderator there and can vouch for the site).
Is there something wmwifirouter for the Htc Incredible - PPCGeeks

 

i do this all the time.

follow directions here to root phone

How to Root from 2.1 - Android Forums

its stupid proof for the most part.

a lot of people get into doing a lot with their rooted droid and some of the custom ROMs really cause problems on the phone.

I just rooted the base ROM, added wifi tether (free!) and go with it. I use it all the time w/o issue.

can connect up to 5 systems to your phone.

 

Like with most things about the Droid it works when it wants to.

Sometimes I get really great fast connection...sometimes it wont even get online.
