MyWi Tethering: Anyone Charged by AT&T?

[Sparky9292]

I just want to clarify for a few of you that still seem to believe accounts are flagged for tethering by the amount of data being used. This idea is simply false. It doesn't matter if you tether a little or a lot--you are still tethering. So, to resolve a myth, do not think that by cutting back on your tethering time decreases the likely hood of your account being flagged.

Also, from account that I've read, AT&T customers who have jailbroke their devices and used PDAnet with the "hide" feature enabled have also received emails and texts messages from AT&T notifying the customer of their awareness of their actions, and some have actually been forced into the tethering plan as a result. It appears that, as of now, there is no way around it; so tether at your own risk. Don't ignore all the confirmatory evidence.

I may be wrong, but it seems that the answer may lay in software for the tethered device that tricks it into sending or seemingly sending information as if it were your actual iPhone.

Well I've never received a text from AT&T using PdaNET's Stealth Mode. Of course I've never used anything besides Stealth Mode.

Why write your senator?
If you are unhappy, just leave.
Sprint is offering unlimited data. Go drain their network down.

They send me 2 txt messages, the last message said "We see you continue to enjoy your FREE Tethering, your account will be changed". So I called them and played dumb saying I dont even know what tethering is.

plan right now is to get a 2g iphone and use it for 1 month to get the old unlimited plan back

aftewards I will restrict my use to wifi only for one month to see what they say about my data use. IF they say im still tethering and switch me back to a thethering plan then I'm going to take it to a higher level /leave without paying ETF.
