Re: Sprint
I didn't have to overdo my usage; had 8 minutes of my very first connection going this route with Sprint and went to check my current usage and saw 8 CASUAL USE PCS WIRELESS WEB MINUTES which I was charged about $3 and change for. When I called to inquire about this, they were kind enough to credit me for the usage, but informed me that I was not able to use my phone as a modem and that no plans covered this "feature".
Bummer!
Just be careful and don't overdo your usage. Sprint expressly forbids people to tether their phones to their laptops. Enforcement is spotty, but if you start downloading tons and tons of data and they notice, they'll revoke your Vision plan and possibly charge you for each kb.
