Unless they have changed the rules. I remember an incident when I had my Moto Q syncing with the computer it ended up connecting to the internet. The phone is on a Telus network. Without knowledge, as I continued to surf, the connectivity was drawing from my phone instead of my wireless router. I ended up receiving a bill in excess of $600. And this is with an unlimited data plan. Can you clarify this? From my understanding, tethering is a separate charge from your phone costs regardless if you are on a data plan.

Just do a local Google search and voila, espresso as you nibble on your bits and bytes. On the other hand if you’re a frequent traveler, speak to the General Manager and the charge will disappear.

Will using an app like Tether get around any limitations that your carrier may impose on such an activity?
