Sprint EVDO tethered to laptop Q's?
Ok so i was looking at sprints website and going through the plans im looking at a PPC-6700, so i can use it to bluetooth to my CARPC and my laptop to connect to internet, but do i need the special "Unlimited Data Plan for Phone as Modem" or can i just get the much cheaper "Sprint Power VisionSM Access Pack" for the phone? And how can sprint tell that, you are using your phone as a modem, vice just websurfing on your phone?
If the answer to this is yes they can tell and i have to get the phone as a modem plan, is verizon a better way to go, price and service wise, i am hoping for good EVDO coverage.
Thanks
Steve

the unlimited data plan (ie: Vision Plan or Power Vision plan) will not cover phone-as-modem. those plans range from $15-25/month. paying that amount does cover unlimited data useage on the phone, but the amount of data-transfer racked-up while urfing the web on your computer, compared to the amount used while browsing on your phone, is going to easily be 5-10 times more. $15/month just wont cover that.

$40 for 40MB (requires 1yr Service Agreement)
$40 for UNL_MB (require...
