So who hasn't gotten an email or text from AT&T? Is so what app are you using to tether with?

I used MiWi (i think that was what it was called). It was at best buy, just to mess around with the iPads on the internet. For some reason they didn't have it hooked up to a wireless connection.
We only had it on for maybe 15-20 minutes. Friend said he didn't notice anything on his bill or get the text message that was being sent around, but it was only 20 minutes.

EDIT: Cydia app, if you didn't already know :p.

I use the built in personal hotspot as well and just pay the $45 for the tethering plan, system works well and I get what I am paying for.

I use the hotspot feature regularly which works fine. $20 for 2gb monthly limit on Vz-meets my needs.

I should just get rid of my Wi-fi service and go off of a tethering service exclusively. That would save me some money already, and it might sadly even be faster.

If you're still monitoring, do you still feel this way?

I am paying $30 a month for unlimited and $25 for my iPad data plan. I am thinking of switching to the 4GB tethering plan (saving $10 a month) and using that for data for my iPad. I never go over 1GB on either device.

My only question is how well the tethering works? When you bring up your laptop or iPad, do you have to do anything to the phone or does it just work?
