Yes - whether or not your mobile plan comes with a data package is |
| 7 |
another story. In Canada, at least, 'tethering' ones phone via USB is |
| 8 |
very, very expensive. |

Most providers also differentiate whether or not the data is being |
| 11 |
requested via mobile web browser, through a proxy for email, or via |
| 12 |
gprs, etc, as is the case when tethering. |

Before you commit to a data plan, make sure that you determine whether |
| 15 |
or not 'tethering' is included in that data plan - it likely is not |
| 16 |
and you will be encounter a ginormous bill at the end of the month if |
| 17 |
you're not safe. |
