Default 8320 tethering over Wi-Fi connetion.

Please Login to Remove!

OK, guys just to let you know that I can tethering with the 8320 on a $5.99 Tweb plan and it's connected through my neighbor's unsecured Wi-Fi connection. The conection speed is between 100 and 160 kbp/s.

When I bought the 8320 it came with the $9.99 BB email plan and it's true that you can't get it to tethering with your PC. What I did was swapped the SIM card from my Motorola phone which has the $5.99 Tweb plan and it with these settings:

options>Advanced Options>TCP
APN:wap.voicestream.com
Username for APN: leave blank
Password for APN: leave blank

Use the browse that came with the phone and make sure to set default browser configuration to T-zones if you are not on a Wi-Fi connection.
options>Advanced Options>Browser>Default browser configuration:t-zones

If you have a Wi-Fi connection then select Wi-Fi Browser instead.
With Wi-Fi network you can use Opera Mini browser just make sure Wi-Fi is selected under Opera settings. Opera Mini will not work if you don't have a Wi-Fi connection on a $5.99 Tweb plan.

Does T-Mobile know that I am tethering and bill me for the data usage?

Might cap your data usage though or try to put you on the unlimited BB data plan.
