not exactly true, I'm on AT&T and haven't tried this yet as they want another $20/month, but my partner is on T-Mobile and not only is it free, we tested it about 100 times and everytime the phone call comes through even while connected to comp.

I toy'd with my carriers connection manager software as well, and as the Bold is not supported I tried 8300, 8310 & 8800 to no avail. So I travelled down some manual set up procedures which sets up a modem for you and a connection... no go unfortunately. I tried with no user name and password, didn't work either. Tried following some of the suggestions from this forum adopting "Initialization Commands" Yes & No. Standard Modem selections and even the "Smartphone Wireless USB Modem" connection my Device Manager sees as well as my Modem setup (One and/or the other) no go. I saw some info when working with the "Rogers Connection Manager" which was using:

User name: Wapuser1 (Tried with and without)
Dial up #: *99***1# (Hey, I tried #777 and *99#)

Initialization commands - With and without. (Tried the rogers one from post above and tried the ATT one too)

So every scenario I could think of, mix and match... Dead end

Again, I left it too late to call my Carriers Business support group to see if they can actually help, but I think that's next.

I appreciate the help really. I've been helped on this forum many a time and I have helped a number people myself. Just doesn't work everytime for everyone.

Having a modem in Vegas would have been nice instead of the $$$$ they charged!

Just wanted to thank everyone here on the forum. I used to have a Sony Ericsson W600 that tethered and was a sweet deal. Now, I'm a crackberry fanatic an it's nice to be able to use this the same way. Anyone on Sprint? I know theres a 5GB limit, but does that go for tethering too?

you need to have a PAM plan...but using this trick can work...but if they find out.you may end up with a very expensive bill

Nope.............
You just have to go to bbsmart and download a trial version, and install it.

You will not really need bbsmart if you get the new OS 4.5.

Yes you need a 3G,EVDO router and I don't know where you are or what service you have but if it's slower than your 3G that's pitiful. I've had DSL and now currently have cable broadband and a Sprint broadband card and my home cable service is twice as fast.Kyocera KR2 EVDO Router Review : EVDOinfo.com

A little tip for tethering:

Set the Modem's Maximum Speed (bps) to 921600 instead of the default 115200. I tried this on my T-Mobile 8320 and the throughput went from 2.5 to 6.0 Kbps.

I tried this but it doesn't work...

I tethered my phone to my laptop sometime ago, and it worked fine. Recently, it had stopped working, so i tried re-doing and it still doesn't work. So, I am at a loss i guess

InternetByDataCard@yahoogroups.com has more information for many phone, medems, aircards & tethering.
The KC lady posted good information, it fits what I have learned using phones & air cards on Alltel, VZW, ATT & Cingular.
