That's a negative ghostrider. You need root for any of the Wifi tether apps to work that aren't verizon mobile hotspot.

Here's the one I have installed and I've used it to tether a laptop and PS3. Works great and is easy to use / setup.

Disclaimer: it is against Verizon terms of service to tether w/o paying extra for their mobile hotspot service and if you get caught, they could cancel your contract. Although I've read if you stay under 5 or 6 GB a month chances of your account being flagged / investigated are slim.

Personally, I think it's a bunch of BS though. I pay for the data on the phone, so I should be able to use my paid for data in whichever manner I so choose w/o paying extra to use it in a specific way. That's like selling a customer a spoon and making them pay extra to use the spoon for anything other than eating soup. Ridiculous. Viva la Résistance!

Any tethering using the the wireless radio requires root. That is unless you pay the man.

Just to let you know, I went a little bit over 30 gigs 2 months ago. So far nothing bad. :icon_eek:
