CarrieByTheSea 0 #1 February 25, 2011 I am posting for a friend, as I know many of you love your iPhones and apps. I was hoping someone might save me the time as I have only had my iPhone one day and have no need for this, but a dear friend of mine is looking for ways to cut back and asked me about an app he had heard about: He has Verizon and said he heard about an app for Droid (wondered if there were such for the iPhone, too) on Verizon that one could download from a third party that allowed someone without any other form of internet access to plug their phone in to their unconnected laptop/notebook and access the internet under the same terms of "unlimited web & email" that one pays for, for any smartphone--in this case, for the iPhone or Droid (preferably iPhone). In other words, he does not want to pay for internet access (except what is included in his phone plan) since he pays for "unlimited web & email" in the plan for the phone, but be able to surf the web and access email on the laptop instead of the phone, so long as the two are connected. I am not the person who knows these kinds of things, but really want to help out my friend who has fallen on some rough times. Anyone? Thank you, in advance, for your help.

michalm21 2 #2 February 25, 2011 that would be called tethering and, at least on ATT, it costs extra $20 a month with 2GB limit (rape) Curious to what Verizon has. Too lazy to go to their site. edited to add that you can jailbreak and get tethering app that wont cost monthly fees, but i don't quite believe its legal (not that I would ever do such thing, no, never) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
