    Here is a trick I use to get unlimted calling and text messages as well as use my phone for a modem for my laptop.

    I used to pay T-Moble $50 a month for unlimited calls plus an other $40 a month for a modem stick to get on the net.
    I got an android phone and use Straight Talk,,$45/mo unlimited calls, text and internet using the phone,,I downloaded an app by Pdanet on my phone and laptop,,the app fools the phone so that I can use it to access the net with my laptop,,they have a Iphone app too,,

    I use Walmart Family mobile with T-mobile as the carrier up to 5 gigs download and unlimited voice a month part of my plan. I tether to my lap top also, but what you are saying is this will show the carrier that I am not tethered, but using it instead for calls? Isn't the download of data a dead give away?
