For all you folks who tether, maybe I'm missing something, but do you really save enough money by tethering to make it worth while? And can you activate/deactivate tethering at will, or does it involve a contract?
(I realize I'm going to get different answers depending on location/carrier.)
Verizon allows pro rate of their $20 a month hotspot feature. If you need it a day,call and add it,call back the next day cancel it, it costs less than $1 a day to use. The usage is prorated as well but again for limited usage it's worth it. If your phone is jail broken or rooted the options are even cheaper and checking email or whatever won't even show up on the radar. It's using it for heavy data that sets off the alarms.
Where I vacation ATT does not cover worth a flip, unless they have added cells since July 2010, so I'd have to hotspot onto my Verizon phone anyway.
Again buying my initial wifi only was an informed choice.Buying my wife a 3G initiallynwas an informed decision as well because she will be using 3G on a regular basis
