Add tethering to my Droid will it cancle my unlimited plan?

hello
I moved to the country and we have no internet, in order to test what mobile data plan i would like to use i would like to tether my phone (driod bionic) and test the Verizon speeds on 3g, and then i will test sprint, and buy the fastest/reliable one.
will adding this plan affect my grand fathered unlimited package? is there a data limit on the tethering? we would like to watch some VOD from directv to test the connections.
also why in the hell does Verizon not offer an unlimited mobile data plan (for usb/pc cards) for people the rural areas? i'm about to drop $120/month for one such plan if spring works at my house. I would use verizon only but your terms of service do not allow it to be the only internet connection even tho it IS the only one in my area

Think you answered your own question there.  They don't intend on it being a replacement for a dedicated internet.  Sprint also has a clause that prohibits such use.  Also make sure that you're not in a sprint roaming area as they're not too fond of that either.
"The primary use of your Device must be for domestic purposes within the Sprint-owned network. Domestic means use in the 50 United States and U.S. Territories (except Guam). Sprint reserves the right, without notice, to deny, terminate, modify, disconnect or suspend service if off-network usage in a month exceeds: (1) voice: 800 min. or a majority of minutes; or (2) data: 300 megabytes or a majority of kilobytes."

    Will i lose my unlimited plan if I get an Iphone 4s? Or will I have to pay more?

    When I tried to order through At&t, it didn't give an unlimited option. I then ordered through apple website which basically let me get the already existing plan, which has unlimited data. If not for it, I would have gone with Sprint.

  • If I upgrade my phone will I lose my unlimited plan???

    I was told a while back that if I were to upgrade my phone it would alter my plan and I would no longer have my unlimited everything plan. I was wondering if this is true and if so what is the reasoning behind that???

    No what I told you is exactly what transpires. At one time it may have happened and it can be a glitch.

    The second link will explain more of what has happened.
    It states the toggle to keep unlimited is there. However the gotchas get it removed.
    Verizon is using any trick to get unlimited data from customers.
    Just calling customer service in some cases has had it removed. Resetting your device or adding any feature is now being shown as a chance of losing it.
    You have to be very careful!

  • Installed Adobe dlm add-on and now Firfox will not open. I see the process starting in Task Manager but no window opens. Unistalled Firefox then re-installed but still no luck. HELP ME!

    I installed Adobe dlm add-on and now Firefox will not open. I see the process starting in Task Manager but no window opens. Unistalled Firefox then re-installed but still no luck. HELP ME! I do not want to use IE! I presume it has something to do with Adobe DLM as ever since then it is not working.

    I had this problem for a couple weeks as well and it was extremely frustrating considering we use firefox for all our company tasks. Here is the solution:
    First of all if you have no bookmarks you want to save, then go directly to step 7. If you want to save your bookmarks first, then follow these steps.
    1. Shut down the computer
    2. Reboot and open firefox
    3. Go to Task Manager, right click firefox.exe, and click END PROCESS TREE
    4. WAIT 30 SECONDS! Then Double-click the shortcut to try and open firefox again
    5.Repeat steps 3 and 4 until firefox finally opens (trust me, eventually it will)
    6. Once it finally opens, backup your bookmarks,
    7. Download a copy of firefox from there website
    8. Uninstall from programs menu and make sure to check the box REMOVE ALL COMPONENTS
    9. install the new copy and BOOM! it works
    If it doesn't work, you're an idiot. If you don't want to reinstall firefox, then you're out of luck. Good Luck!

  • HT201077 As of recently any photos I add to a shared photostream will not update for others. Only I can see them. How come others sharing this photo stream are not getting the new photos?

    As of recently any photos I add to a shared photostream will not update for others and I don't see the updated photos on my other devices. Only I can see them from the device that i've posted from. How come others sharing this photostream are no longer getting the new photos? My iphone (the device i'm adding from) shows 20 pictures in this shared photostream and yet 4 other people that I share this photostream album with and my ipad only show 12 photos. For the past week I keep adding photos thinking people will see them but it just won't update the new ones. Any ideas how to fix this?

    You can stop new photos being automatically added to Photostream in iPhoto from iPhoto preferences > Photostream.

  • Itunes won't add files or folders, also will not import

    I have some songs on itunes, but now itunes won't add files or folders, also will not import at all.
    I did an uninstall and reinstall but still does not work.
    Can anyone help?

    Ok. So its finally working again. Not sure why, but maybe my experience will help someone else.
    All I can say is that I have been trying a relentless combination of mounting and mounting the drive, checking and unchecking the 'copy files to iTunes Library', running 'consolidate library', and everything in between. One of them finally kicked it back into action.
    Nice Apple. 9.2.1 isn't buggy at all...that's sarcasm.

  • How to save my bookmarks in a protected folder(google has an add on for favorits which will never be deleted) in case of harddisk format or computer crashdown?

    how to save my bookmarks in a protected folder(google has an add on for favorits which will never be deleted) in case of harddisk format or computer crashdown.

    The built-in Firefox Sync service allows you to store your settings, including bookmarks, on a Mozilla server. This isn't accessible as a file like Google Drive; it can only be used by connecting another copy of Firefox to your Sync account. You can read more about this here: [[How do I set up Firefox Sync?]] (I haven't tried it myself since it changed recently.)
    The cross-browser Xmarks service is more focused: it just does bookmarks. http://www.xmarks.com/ (I've never tried this one either)
    If you prefer working with files and you have a Dropbox or similar account, you could in theory back up your Firefox profile folder, or more particularly, the bookmarkbackups subfolder. I haven't tried that myself. To find the folder:
    Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using either
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
    * Help menu > Troubleshooting Information
    In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button
    A window should launch showing your currently active settings files. The bookmarkbackups folder should contain dated .json files which can be used to restore your bookmarks to another copy of Firefox.
    Alternately, someone might have created an add-on for saving Firefox bookmarks to the cloud another way, but I haven't heard of one.

  • What will happen to my unlimited 3G data plan if VZW gives me the Samsung Droid Charge 4G phone?

    I currently have the Samsung Fascinate and the unlimited data plan, with a 20% corporate
    discount .   The 2-year contract started when I bought the Fascinate in November 2010. 
    If I'm not mistaken, my unlimited plan is grandfathered in, even after Verizon changed the
    2GB limit for data plans.
    There is no 4G service in my part of the state. There won't be 4G for at least 2 years,
    according to the Verizon corporate store manager.  My part of the state was the second
    to last to get 3G on the east coast.  
    If I take Verizon's offer and accept the Samsung Droid Charge 4G as a replacement phone,
    what will happento my existing unlimited 3G data plan?   Can they activate the 4G phone
    on a 3G data plan?
    Will the 4G phone pick up 4G signal when I travel to a major city with 4G service? (nearest
    city with 4G is 230 miles away)

    If I understand their policy correct you will continue your current unlimited 3G plan and have access to 4G in coverage areas as long as you DON'T change your plan. If you change your plan new rates will apply.
    Can one of the Verizon guys here verify this?
    Consider it verified, Steve! 

  • Ive changed my hard drive on my pc tower does that mean my iphone 5 is not synced anymore so if i want to add a new pictures folder will it erase my other pictures?

    Each time you sync photos from a computer to an iPhone using iTunes, the non-Camera Roll photos on the phone are set to match the current settings/selections on the photos page of iTunes. If you moved your previously synced photos to the new computer and if you select them to be synced to the phone along with any new photos you want synced then they will all go to the phone. If you don't include them in the selection to be synced, they will be deleted from the phone. Note that you can rearrange the old photos into different photos on the computer if desired, sync just some of them if desired, etc. Each time you sync, the phone is set to match the current settings for photos.

  • If I choose sync settings for my add-ons, laptop and android, will one device' s add-ons go on the other automatically?

    If I choose sync settings for my add-ons, between my Windows XP laptop and android phone, will one device' s add-ons go on the other automatically?
    For example, if i add a password manager add-on to my PC, will that same add-on go onto my phone? Or will i have to separately add it again to my phone?
    If I do have to add it separately, then what exactly IS the add-on syncing doing?

    hmmm... i have no idea what the "install.rdf file" of an extension) is? or how to check that?
    thanks!

  • Will I lose my Unlimited Data plan?

    Hi, I currently have an LG Vortex, which I got sometime in June of this year when I was scheduled for an update. Obviously, my phone isn't ready for an update yet, but if I take in a phone I already have (such as my father's, which he's giving me because he's getting himself an iPhone) and take it into Verizon to have them switch me over to that one (which is a Droid 2), will I lose the unlimited data plan I have currently on my phone since they got rid the the unlimited data recently?
    Basically, by switching phones, will I lose my data plan?
    And also, since I'm not buying a new phone, that's not technically updating, so I don't have to pay for the early update fee, right?
    Thanks.

    I have been a Verizon Wireless customer for over 15 years. I recently found out that there is no advantage to continuing as a customer. Not only will I now be charged a $30 fee to stay their customer upon renewal (this is supposed to be okay since everyone else is doing it), my plan will automatically be changed for our whole family and I will now be paying more a month for less service. So the benefits of staying a customer used to be grandfathering the plan you have, great renewal perks, and no fees; all gone. Why stay? No reason to. Thank you Verizon.
    So the response from 4/2/12 is outdated.  You cannot keep your (grandfather) old plan.  That is a perk that has been taken away.

  • Will I lose my unlimited date plan if...

    ....I simply switch to a 4G LTE device?
    I am currently using a family members upgrade in order to switch to the iPhone 5. I am not upgrading on my account because I don't have an upgrade. I am simply switching phones. So will I still lose my unlimited data plan? The policy states that customers upgrading to a 4G LTE device will lose their plan. But again, I'm not actually upgrading...just transferring my number to a a new device.

        Hi there KM536986 and community!
    Getting the new iPhone 5 is super exciting! This would be considered "providing your own equipment" if you bring the phone from an outside source, such as another account.
    This means you will not lose your Unlimited Data plan.  Keep in mind that the warranty provided through us directly doesn't transfer, but Apple still provides warranty for the year you have the phone. 
    Let us know if you have any other questions!
    Thanks,

  • If I upgrade to new iphone, will I lose my unlimited data plan?

    If I upgrade my iphone 4 to the iphone 5, will I lose my "grandfathered" status with an unlimited data plan? It requires a new 2 year contract with AT&T, but I have been told by others that they were booted out of the unlimited plan.???

    My sister did that, and they told her no... but then she discovered on her first bill it was "unlimited up to 4G" (fine print) - she would have never done that if they were honest about it
