what tethering?
In response to Atlasunit22, tethering is when you use your phone’s data network to access the internet on your computer. So instead of buying internet and plugging your computer up to a modem at your home, you’re using the cell phone towers to do it. This is very slow and pricier for sure.
I can see why AT&T doesn’t allow it, as they offer unlimited data with all of their iPhone plans, so really, you’d be getting free internet too and that’s a lot of data when you use a computer, even if it’s moving at a snail pace.
Rogers allows it, it seems, but they will charge you for it A LOT. I’m sure Rogers will have absolutely no problem in charging you for tethering at their data rates, so really, I don’t see why anyone would want to do it at all unless you’re in a dire emergency and you absolutely need to use your computer instead of your iPhone.
On their website they say that the $7 unlimited plan doesn’t include tethering, but it doesn’t say that you can’t tether if you choose to anyway, but be prepared to pay the price.
Correction: the speed for tethering isn’t slow slow all the time, but it’s only as fast as your network. So if you have the first generation phone for sure it’ll be super slow, but the 3G will be faster, but still not as fast as a decent wifi connection.
I just noticed lines that appeared to be tiny cracks under the up/down volume buttons; I don’t know what to do?!!
I recently got a 3G with FIDO. I am just curious as to how long it took you from the date you ordered.. to the date you received your invisible shield form ZAGG? Because I want to order it but my address is going to be changing in a few weeks so I don’t want to have it shipped here and then be gone when it arrives.
