Verizon Wireless Dismisses $18K Cell Phone Bill
He should have been with T-Mobile
Or Sprint (WiMax only).
T-Mobile is the only carrier does not charge overage, just slow you down after a certain amount, on tethering and datacard (mine does show 10GB cap instead of 5 :p )

And He didn't have a Tethering plan, that was the issue.
What would Tmobile do if someone bought a phone from you, basic voice only, and stuck it into a computer to tether?
And again, it was 2006! Do you have any idea how much has changed since then? in 2006, you could still get unlimited aircards, verizon's 3g (where available) was EVDO Rev0 which was PAINFULLY slow, data was something that was optional on new fangled PDA phones, and people would laugh if you told them that their phone could get online.
Yes, present day, there are a LOT of safeguards in place for morons who can't think. companies made the mistake of assuming their customers were intelligent in 2006. Idiots like Mr 18k bill showed them otherwise. Which is why ...

You simply don't have internet access if you don't have any data.

you did back then. It was enabled as a default on all phones (I had Tmobile back then too)
you do have internet without a plan, it's pay per use

Maybe I have to make it clear. If you don't have ANY data/internet, you're stuck with web2go/t-zones homepage and you can't go anywhere.

He didn't.
Thus he is RESPONSIBLE
and fyi, he needed to use a program that tricks the phone into thinking it's using data natively. aka, "hacking" the device. So no safeguards like Tzones would apply if he was using a program made to circumvent those safeguards.

You can alter the settings to bypass the system.
It's easier to be done on smartphone platforms. You can do a simple hack to use phone data for tethering, but it's a violation of TOS.
