So there's good news and bad news, and we're not even giving you the option of choosing which you'd prefer to hear first (hint: it's the good). Sprint has dropped the price of its Phone-as-Modem plan (capped at 5GB monthly) to just $15 per month. Now, the rest of the story. First off, you must own a Power Vision phone with connection capabilities to a laptop. Next -- unlike the old PAM plan which ran $49.99 / month all by itself -- this "attachable plan" requires you to have another data plan already on your account. For instance, the BlackBerry Personal Pack ($30 / month) or the Worldwide Data Plan ($70 / month). In the end, it looks as if tethering in and of itself got cheaper, but those newfound strings that are reportedly attached will likely cause some frustration.[Via phonescoop]
Great Ideal, my only question is will this work for people with the simply everything plan
So tethering just got $5 cheaper, not bad. AT&T wants you to pay $30 for tethering on top of you $30 data plan, that's $15 more than Sprint! Verizon wants $15 as well, but their data plan is $40, no? I just wish you could make calls while surfing the web on your phone. :( Still, kudos to Sprint!
Since when has AT&T charged for tethering? I've been tethering my AT&T phones for years with a $29.99 unlimited data plan that includes 1500 texts.
Verizon's Data Plan is $45 a month. trust me, my pockets should know.
i refuse to pay another $15 for tethering though, i just have PDANet for when i want to do some laptop surfing when im out and about. my Moto Q9c can handle alot of my internet needs already though.
