Using the iPhone as a modem

Raymond Lin · 6 Dec 2008 at 15:21

Anyone tried PDA-net from Cydia? I am using the trial version right now and it actually works, very easy to use and right now even with my 1st gen iPhone i am using it as a Modem, connected to my laptop through wifi, plugged in the USB cable so its charging too.

Just a question on those who has used it, how do you pay for it? It's $29 when the trial runs out but do you pay via paypal or through phone credit?

Looks better than NetShare is/was, but also three times the price!

Probably be OK if you don't take the mickey with it.

It's against the T&C, but they probably wont notice people using it.

Depends if they can track what content is being downloaded and viewed, for example if you start looking at loads of flash sites or downloading files / saving them and looking at content the iPhone can't display....

There is a difference between the network traffic the iPhone uses and the packet switching traffic you get from using a computer tethered to a mobile. So it will be noticed eventually.
