I have MyWi. I haven't used it yet. I'm just afraid that if I do AT&T somehow will find out and move me to a tethering plan. If anything, I'll be using that on emergency situations only. Browsing and whatnot. Hmm. Maybe stream Pandora on my iPod touch thats in my car. 🙂

??? Couldn't you just use the iPhone? I don't think they could detect that usage though, as they would see an iOS device, so they would have no way of distinguishing the two...

I used MyWi for 24hrs straight a few months ago when my DSL went down. I never heard a word from AT&T.

Any way it is pretty secure. Of course, it is always going through your carrier's network...

Just pay for MiWi. It does Wifi, USB, and Bluetooth.
 
Not worth it, i only use it when i have to work in my other office and there is wifi i will just register my laptop in the wifi network.

For $20 one time, it is a good deal for when you're traveling, as a back up to regular connections, etc. Of course, it's not a replacement for anything else, as you can burn through the 2GB cap pretty quick...
