Default Yet another question about DUN and VZW

Hi all,
Great site. I just purchased a Q9M and decided against the data plan, at least for now. I have been thinking about pdanet though, and the ability to use it when I absolutely have to.

With my old phone, a v710, I could use DUN after 9pm and it wouldn't cost me anything. It wasn't fast either, but it was free (1x). I'm wondering if the same holds true for the Q and EVDO. If it's past 9pm can I teather and DUN for free, or will it start charging me data rates at .15 cents /kb?

Thanks,
Until the data plan price comes down I'm thinking I'll stick with just the phone and USB/BT sync. Damn you AT&T for having better plans, and damn all my friends and colleagues for having VZW!

So it looks like it uses the data plan to connect - which is to say that my minutes wouldn't be used at all. Am I reading this correctly?

LOL well, there are no 9 PM data deals on VZW. If you are not on a data plan, you pay the per kb rate 24/7 if you start using data. On the phone, on the computer, when ever and where ever. Phone data is expensie compared to sprint and t-mo at $40-45 a month and "legal" tethering adds another $15/mo.
