I think, if I'm going to pay for something, and I expected to, I might as well upgrade to a cellphone with tethering capabilities. I'd rather go with a pay as you go plan though -- we just don't use our cellphones enough to warrant the high contract fees that most people are paying. I'd be getting off, doing a bit of online searching, downloading a bit, and getting off. Susan H. IIRC, most providers (Verizon, AT&T, etc.) now offer pay as you go...monthly, so you don't get into a 24 month contract. We pay ~ $150/month but we just signed up for a $20 discount because we have both Verizon Wireless and Verizon Fios triple play.
