just a quick question, does cricket charge for tethering? im tethering a htc eris flashed right now and wondering is my bill about to sky rocket?

cricket is a pre-paid service, your bill will never really sky rocket unless you do alot of ESN changes or switch your plan.

But no there are no tethering charges, but there is a cap of 1gb of usage. Then the speed is throttled to a crawl.

:^/ Cricket will treat surfing the web from the laptop via tethered cellophone just the same as surfing via the cellophone itself. In fact, I'm uncertain Cricket can even tell that the phone's in tethering mode.

this is straight from the person that has the kansas city cricket market (donna naaz) cricket does not care if you tether or if you dont. if you remember they used to be true unlimited on the data side,but with the emergence of tethering your phone they are still saying "unlimited" but like whitey said it caps at 1 gig. they dont cut you off after that but the rest of your month after the gig is so slow that you wont want to use it, and most computer browsers will time out before even a page will load. so they dont care how you use your gig but thats all you get. i had this discussion with her about a month ago. i am sure it is the same in all markets.
