Fuzzy and I both tether our Droid using PDAnet on Verizon. Works great and I have suspended service to our dongle. Only drawback is that you can not go online in a Verizon extended service area, for that I have to go back to the dongle.

Plus side is we no longer go over our 5g per month allowance. He uses about 7g/month on his phone, I'm a piker at only 4g.

Cheers,
Sherry
