Tethering.... What is the best way and can I get in trouble

[n813ca]

What is the best way to do it, and can I get into trouble with Verizon?

Which way do you want to do it? Through wifi or through a usb cable? and yes, if you use an extreme amount of data for wifi, not sure about usb though.

I used USB on my old phone and I was paying Verizon to do it, but now Tethering isn't available through them with the Droid. So I am game for everything, but USB most likely.

You can get Pdanet through the market. It's pretty easy to set up.

How much does it cost, and can I get in trouble with Verizon? Thanks for the info

 

[bomber889]

Oh, I forgot to say it's free. I doubt it as you do not even need to be rooted to use this. You could go check with other more knowledgeable members if you want.

I think you know what you are talking about. Thanks.

anyone have any experience with easy-tether and could advise me as to which one is better? I believe they both have a fee for us with https sites, just wanted to see if anyone had experience with both for a comparison, and didn't want to start a new thread.

I've only used Pdanet. I have never had any problems with it.

Yeah, I've noticed time and again people recommending pdanet, so I was curious as to the quality of easy-tether. Seems like the free versions do essentially the same thing, although the paid version is a bit cheaper for easy-tether, so if I need https, I'd like to get some opinions first before I try to save some money.
