Tether
Finally a way to connect your laptop to the web via your BlackBerry
For two years I had a Verizon PC card to give me web access for my HP laptop. The card was free, but the service cost me about $60 per month—a big monthly cost. The connection was fast and the ability to connect from client locations was an important benefit. But the $60 per month ($720 per year) really irked me, so I ended up dropping the service.
Now I finally found a way to get the mobile web connection I want on my laptop without the high monthly fee. I recently download the Tether app for BlackBerry. For a one-time fee of $49.99 I can connect my BlackBerry to my HP laptop via a USB cable and get the web and email from almost anywhere. There is no additional fee beyond the BlackBerry data plan I already have from Verizon.
Not only do I save a bundle, but also I score a victory for competition with the big carriers.
