AT&T tells customers using unauthorized tethering methods to pay up or stop
http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/…
The beauty of owning an Apple phone.. no tethering for iPhone users no more even if you are using jail-broken phone..
Owwww.., you didn't know you had to pay for everything in Apple land? Well I guess this is a good reminder you are Steve Jobs' bitch and everyone they work with.
Good luck with all that.
GO ANDROID! :)

That sucks... but since I live in Canada and I am allowed to tether, I will continue to do so.

So if I understand this correctly, in the US you could tether your phone to your laptop, turn on WiFi, go through your own wireless router with it, and AT&T would still try to play Hide the Helmet in your ass?
- only for iPhone users .. BOOM!Boz
- So rather than blaming AT&T, you're blaming Apple? Are you sure all your neurons are firing?Continuity
- oh AT&T's are scumbags.. but I'm just saying it happens on Apple devices only.. BOOM!Boz
- You need help.Continuity

<----android...tried the iphone4 and I think the browser is better but android is cheaper and works 2 good to sell my soul to att/verizon/apple...my 2 cents

I'm sorry guys.. I was trolling a bit.. just kidding around..
But let's discuss it a bit better..
Why do you think it only happens on iPhones though.. you would assume they could see it on Android too? Is it possible that iPhones do phone home for some reason as a part of their contract with Apple so these guys can see it..
I mean AT&T definitely sells a lot of Android phones with much more tech guys using tethering.. Hell I'm on AT&T and I abused the crap out of it..
I refused to pay them tethering data for iPhone 4 and why I don't really use it that much.. btw I do have unlimited data plan.
- Continuity0
Sigh. It only happens on iPhones because they're the most popular. Once (if) other smartphones gain market share, your providers will start ass-raping them, too. Kind of a simple principle, yeah?
- Android has more marketshare.. I don't understand your point?Boz
- They aren't. iPhoen is the most popular device, but Android use outnumbers it.orrinward
- Do they? Let's see the figures. :)Continuity
- That makes it more popular than iPhone.. I don't see why they wouldn't do the same thing on Android phones, especially since a lot more people use tethering on android phones.Boz
- since a lot more people use tethering on android phones.Boz

- Then I stand corrected. This is still an issue to take up with AT&T, though, not with Apple.Continuity

@duhsign
Android to me personally is better as an OS and allows you to do more things, it has better notifications which is like one of the most important things on the phone but I just can't figure out why oh why Google can't make the pinching and zooming on Android as smooth as on iOS.. that's the primary thing I notice being smoother on iPhone.

That letter isn't being sent to everyone though who uses tethering without AT&T's data plan so they must be pinpointing some people out for either unusually high data usage or something. Majority of people probably wont be affected.

lol, unlucky iphone users.
cant wait for my samsung galaxy S. android and iphone both have their advantages, but me personally, i dislike the taste of steve jobs' ding dong lolz lolz
- eric schmidt's dingaling just taste like strawberries!! :DHombre_Lobo
- Yeah, if Apple keeps this up for even one more week they'll go bankrupt. Nobody even buys their shitty phones anymore.monospaced
- I'm no stranger to sarcasm. But I never said they didn't sell, I said I prefer android. Fanboy defender to the rescue!??Hombre_Lobo

All this cheerleading for a company or brand is about the lamest thing about the tech industry.
- it's a natural response to Apple's scumbag campaigns and riling up fanboys.Boz
- Yeah, their tactics have resulted in nothing but failure. Only days until they're FUCKED beyond repair.monospaced
- Why can't Apple just make ONE good product instead of just making shitty copies of others'?monospaced
- it doesn't matter it makes money for them.. crooks make money too doesn't make them ok..Boz
- exactly, that's why they're not selling any products and why they're going to fail so badlymonospaced
- Everyone knows they're evil, and has abandoned ship. Apple can't even sell a product anymore. It's sad really.monospaced
- The reason people go and wait inlines is because is their design is better than others and has great marketing.. And yes, they do copy other products.. nothing in an iPhone is original.. it all existed before.Boz
- they do copy other products.. nothing in an iPhone is original.. it all existed before.Boz
- they constantly rip other people's ideas and products.. they just design it nicer.Boz
- and then hords of brainless idiots pumped by tech media who's too scared to get on the Steve Jobs' bad side never criticizes their products..Boz
- never criticizes their products..Boz
- wow, you completely missed the sarcasmmonospaced
- I don't think I could have laid it on thicker, evenmonospaced
- you say bad shit about their product or point out flaws and douche behavior by Apple and you get banned from every event Apple can ban you from.Boz
- event Apple can ban you from.Boz
- You must be speaking from experiencemonospaced
- boz, are you trying to beat epills consecutive notes record?eficks
- Says you ABT!! All you do is slate androi and praise apple!!

Boz, half the internet is dedicated to iPhone vs Android discussion, yet somehow you think the designers of the world will find this particularly entertaining?
Some people admire Steve Jobs for being a controlling fuck bag (particularly designers), it doesn't mean they're blind to what he's doing. The networks don't make as much profit from iPhone contracts, so they charge extra for tethering... can we please just drop this tech bullshit (especially mobile) it's literally everywhere... My taxi driver unsuccessfully tried to have a conversation about tethering the other day, after telling me about getting Windows 7 running on BLA DE BLA and extending his battery life via BLA BLA BLA BLA. It is seriously the modern day equivalent of talking about the weather.
- lol @ networks don't make much profit from iPhone contractsMilan
- fucking read... AS much profit (as equivalent android handsets) boring bunch of cuntskingsteven

I'm confused, you're either with the TROLLS or with Charlie Sheen. Which is it?

RANDOM FYI
After 9-11-2011 the govt passed a law that all phones will 'talk home' wether they're on or off. This same clause said all phones made after 2001 will have built in GPS wether its on or off.
Why do you think IPhones don't have a removable battery? So they can phone home.
- conspiracy! or rather because it's slimmer w/o a battery access hatch...Jacque
