EVDO tethering (i know, i know)

Alright guys, I have searched here and HOFO and I cant find what I am looking for so I need somebody to point me in the right direction.

Im not asking for a walk through (unless somebody is volunteering :winkπŸ™‚, I just need a link or a point in the general direction how to bypass VZW charging for tethering to VCast phones via the Mobile Office Kit to use as a modem.

I know this thread was beat to death about a year ago but I cant dig deep enough to find the answer on how to do this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated and Ill return the favor in the future im sure.

Thanks πŸ™‚

I think it's the same way as the tethering way you just don't pay for it, isn't it? lol I dunno.

Oh wait.. don't you have to use the National/Broadband access software. The VZ Access Manager?

I tried using it, and it gives me an error message, called cust care and they said that is because the "BBA Access" feature is not added to account. The feature is $59.99 a month, I know of people bypassing it and just using their minutes, I also know VZW "prohibits" it, but hey.

Searched over at Howard Forums but there is just too much misc stuff there to make heads or tails out of it, but I know it can be done.

I can see it possibly working if you're on Americas Choice, but probably not if you're on Nationwide

Would this work somehow if I bought an 8300 and a seperate Windows Mobile PDA like a Dell Axim or HP iPaq? Thru Bluetooth maybe?

Hey Army,

You dont have links like these anymore do you, they killed the threads since they were last posted.

Thanks 😎

Are you on AC or NW plan?

Wouldnt it use Data instead of mins if you are on NW? $1.99 a MB?
