Maggie, I will check into that. Good to know. I know there are lots of places that Verizon has the best coverage.

Verizon changes their plans on 6/28 but I think you can still get unlimited until then - just a thought.

Verizon has not had unlimited for a long time - for new purchasers.

Pdanet hides tethering from your cell phone provider and optionally, lets your cell phone become a wifi hotspot (supported cell phones only). I will not answer questions about how it works, etc.. as its specific to your phone, your plan, your tech comfort level. Its best to just go to the following web site and read what applies to your situation.

Pdanet is a TREMENDOUS money saver as you do not have to pay for tethering.

@ AliceM. Thank you so much for the link to pdanet. This saves a lot of $$. I currently have an unlimited plan with Sprint and did not want to pay the extra $$ for the hot spot. Many thanks.

Sprint is my cell provider as well.. and even though their hot spot wifi plan is very reasonably priced, that pesky hot spot data limit is troublesome. Fortunately, no data limit on non tethered and/or non hot spot use. This is where pdanet SHINES.

Pdanet uses foxfi to provide hidden hot spot capabilities to your phone. I have the HTC EVO and foxfi/hidden hotspot feature will -not- work with that make/model. If not mistaken, all unrooted HTC phones will fail with the hidden wifi hotspot with pdanet/foxfi. This doesn't prevent net use via hidden tethering though. Just prevents hidden hotspot use.

So unlimited net use is still possible with HTC cell phones just need to tether to the phone to do so.

For whatever reasons, I'm hesitant to root my cell phone and thefore just live with the unlimited tethering pdanet supplies without hotspot. But like I said, this is an issue with HTC cell phones not pdanet or foxfi.
