Phone plans step 6 - the final step!!: If you would like to use your phone as a modem - AKA "tethering" - the cost is $59.99 per month. Unlike when you sign up for EVDO service with a dedicated device like a USB modem or ExpressCard, you are NOT locked into paying $59.99/month for the duration of your contract. This is a feature that you can add and remove (at no charge) to your plan as you need it! This is a great option for people that would like to have mobile broadband access occassionally but won't be using it often enough to necessitate the purchase of a dedicated modem and service. Simply call us to add the feature, then call to remove it when you no longer need it - and only pay for the days the feature is active.

Please note: Not every PDA is tether-capable! If you know that you need this feature, make sure that you check the listed features on the phone you selected.

 

That's it! You've selected your phone and customized your plan to fit your needs. You're ready to order! Call us at 866-347-8673.
