Hey Folks

I am getting my Q9 tomorrow... can't wait switching from blackberry 8800 to get the 3g network so I can tether. Question How much data is 5g since that is the monthly limit for tethering

5GB thats plenty ..... unless you plan on doenlpading huge torrents and alot of movies... if ur just using it for websites and some download youll be fine... i think there is way to check how much data u have used so u an keep track... Welcome To EQ

There is no need for pdanet.
I dunno if your Q is different but look in the Windows folder for IntShrUi. This is the internet sharing tool.

[bobby-n]

doesnt that charge you money though ?

[kareljack]

You have a tethering plan. You are using the app that came on the phone for that purpose.. as opposed to using a 3rd party app like pdanet.
You paid for the service...why would they charge you again?

[bobby-n]

why not just cancel the tethering plan seeing how its cheaper to use pdanet

[kareljack]

There is a chance that the service provider will notice the spike in data usage - regular web pages as opposed to pages designed for mobile browsers - and hit you with charges if you do not have a tethering plan. Shouldnt really happen unless you are downloading gigs of stuff.
