One day when I went to tether my phone to my laptop it didn't work anymore. It keeps saying can't find usb drivers. I have tried everything I know of. I have uninstalled several times on my pc and phone. Still wont work. Even went as far as formating my pc and it's still a no go. What in the world do I need to do about this.

I have done everything to tether my phone through pdaNET and when I try to connect, it says "Phone is not attached." which is weird because it lets me transfer files so I know my computer is recognizing the phone via the USB. Also when I tried to search for more information about how to do this via my phone using google, it just kept taking me to Verizon's page offering the tethering package!!!! Can Verizon control my google searches like that?!?!?! It was a bit scary, like Verizon was not allowing me to search and sending me to their own site. Please help!

It works great but I have unlimited data on my Verizon plan. I believe it is only $20 extra and well worth it. I purchased the full version of pdanet after seeing that it works flawlessly on my droid 2. I highly recommend it. I was paying $60 per month to verizon for 2 years for tethering to my laptop.

I have been using PDA net with my droid through my laptop for about a year now, every day. I have never had any issues and I really don't think Verizon can tell any differnce between usage on the phone vs. running it on the computer through PDA net.

That company is making it's money and will never terminate service for tether. You really need to reconsider your priorities. The $10.00 an hour that they are paying you is chump change and you should question an organization that feeds you misinformation. I have tethered my Droid for a month now and have seen no changes in service fees. But that is what they tell you to think. Dude, I feel for you. I really do.
