You are with AT&T... paying $30 a month for *DATA*... and don't have a smartphone?

Either you have Texting + data on a non-smart phone... or you don't know what you have.

If you have a dumb-phone, tether might still be possible... but it's highly dependant on the phone, and not a good shot at success.

Yeah... I'm not actually sure what the plan is to tether a dumb-phone...

I don't sell phones anymore and the changes to data fees on AT&T leaves me personally unsure about how tethering works now.

I'd say dial 611 from your phone and ask customer service.

Just not part of *YOUR* rulebook.

I pay atleast 30 for the phone... 30 for texting and 30 for data.

**** your "company line" that I have to pay another $20 after accepting an inferior service change.

*IF* you Jailbreak/root/etc.

To "pay" for the "privilege" of using data you already paid for via data charges you have to accept a limited plan with AT&T.

So either you pay more for less data *AND* pay to use that data outside of your phone...

Or you take advantage of the system.
