Wonder how long they will keep this around? Am on AT&T currently, but may have to switch as Google's Nexus Prime is suppose to go to Verizon when it is released in Oct./Nov.

I think you would have needed to be grandfathered in to get the unlimited data. AFAIK, new users will be tiered. Correct me if I'm wrong.
You've been-----\/\/\/\-----Thunderstruck!!! -
with a verizon smartphone why do they advertise the hotspot to power other sources(such as laptop)and then say teithering is unacceptable? how else can you get online on your laptop in the cab of your truck?

Guess I'm doing basically a 180 from my earlier post in this thread but since discovering the unlimited 3g and 4g data hotspot capability of the thunderbolt I am never changing phones. lol. $30 a month. I had Verizon switch my mifi to a test device and charge me $10 a month until the cancellation fee comes down.

Tethering is not illegal. Your carrier may not like it, but there is really nothing they can do to stop you. The app is actually called PDA Net. You download it to your phone, run it simultaneously on your laptop.
You have to go into settings, applications, developement, and check on usb debugging. You have to switch the phone to a disk drive, start pda net and start usb tethering.
I watched a bunch of movies and surfed the net on my phone at the same time. Did email, looked at facebook, all while watching a movie. The only thing is the internet connection stops if you get a phone call.
The first time I was watching Netflix, my wife texted me and it comes right up on your laptop screen. I thought that was cool. I have unlimmited data with Verizon and a few of their employees told me I can really do whatever I want. I just hope it lasts. LOL -
i'll only need 2g's maybe 5g's tops.just wanted to know the easiest or cheapest way to go about it as far as getting internet on my laptop while mobile.
