Are you saying that you don't use AT&T or that you do use AT&T but not
the plan you are really supposed to pay for? Is your usage in line with
the terms of service or not? On Howard Forums they always seem to use
words like "detectability" when referring to PDANet (similar to joiku,
except via Bluetooth or USB connection to laptop), which implies to me
that you don't want to get caught using it...
