Default Using My Blackberry As A Modem...Please Read

I have Sprints Simply Everything Plan and was wondering if there is a way to use my phone as a modem. I have searched the forums looking for pertinent information but all I find is "dated" info from 2008-2009. No new posts on this issue that I can find.

Can anyone point me in the right direction or help me out here?

Thanks

Isn't there a way to set up the BB without having to pay additional fees like the ones I would incur on this website? This is a free trial, not a solution..but thanks for the link.

I recommend tether.com as well. Seems like the cleanest way to do it. In addition, if your computer or laptop has BT, tether works via BT as well and connects pretty fast.

Use desktop manager and connect via the function at the bottom left that says, "Mobile Internet". It should work via USB cable or BlueTooth, but I recommend using the cable.

if you connect thruy DM you need to be careful. Sprint can monitor the data usage that way and may charge you for tethering. If you want to tether without the plan add on the only way to do it is by using the Tether program.

Sprint can still tell if the data is from the device or via a tethered connection (whether you use Tether or another program).
