Tether Thru Skyfire Detectable? Tech Help

I'm looking to tether to my desktop, going thru
Skyfire: it renders web pages same as PC. ATT
rep says they will be able to detect this & tell
me I've violated the contract & send me a bill
based on kbs used. Does anyone have the technical smarts or possibly know someone who does to verify this?
Back story: data plan thru the big rip-off is only $15/mo on an un-smart phone. I don't want to browse using the compressed protocol. Data is data!

Thanx

Most phone use Diffrent log-ins to the system for MIPs


ITs night and day when a phone does it on our network since It logs in to Data with a diffrent log in to tether.


What you want is

1. a PROXY that will use the Base Mobile IP config regardless of data access type


2. know how to edit your Mobile IP config
