AT&T to move Unlimited Data Customers who are tethering to a Tiered Plan

OK another question. If I'm just using Safari and email when I tether would I still be caught? It's the same app on either my iPhone or iPad so I figured they can't tell the difference like if I'm using an iPad specific app.

I take that back, it seems that the apn thing has changed. http://modmyi.com/forums/other-carri...-apn-info.html

Obviously I've been outta the loop for a while. On iPhail and tethering.

Don't take my advice on Iphone.

If you're tethering the old iPhone way, it'll still go through the APN for iPhone tethering so they'd know. They may or may not go after you since you're not consuming a ton of data.

I'm up to about 4 GB for the billing cycle and I rarely tether. I stream The Ticket 8 hours a day at work though.
