Finally data plans on mobile phones are getting much more affordable – even to the point where some telcos are offering “All-you-can-eat” data which means you can download as much data as you want each month without any caps or additional charges. On top of this, networks are also getting faster with standard 3G connectivity allowing for 7.2Mbps, which is blistering fast compared to the dial-up connections of 5 or so years ago.
The question that many PDA / smartphones users ask is “how do I use my PDA / smartphone as a 3G broadband modem?” Attaching a laptop or any other data sucking device to your 3G phone is called tethering. This can be achieved via connectivity options such as USB, Bluetooth or WiFi. However some carriers actually charge you for tethering.
Solution: One way to avoid charges from your carrier and to use the fast broadband speeds offered by your 3G cellphone is to use PdaNet.
