Don't bother responding to Larry...surely you've been told not to fee

Operate within the TOS on the Sprint network.

What the hell kind of answer is that? Sprint doesn't allow tethering? You
need a new carrier!

The correct one.

A well documented scenario.

Yes, they do. You just have to pay for it. They call it Phone As
Modem (PAM).

What is a "Sellphone"? Is that like when you go into a cellular phone store
and they sell you a phone?

That would be the wireless phone in your pocket that nickel and dimes you
to death, charging you by the month for the simplest of applications like
copying your pictures to your PC or transferring the tiniest messages on
the planet for $900,000 per gigabyte.

Everything a SELLphone does is to SELL you something more.....TV, music,
messages, internet, ad nauseum.....

It's like a goddamned box office in your pocket!

$39.99 PAM Plan which is unlimited, but they don't have any Rev A
phones, so a data card is better (with a $59.99 plan).

Because Larry's never seen it happen at the Waffle House.
