Impression as Modem

Well I thought all was well, but now that I have my Impression modem set up, when I'm not connected to it (just using my wi-fi) a window keeps popping up asking me to connect to the Samsung modem.  I went to my network connections and found that the Samsung modem was set as the default connection.  I removed that, thinking that the pop-up would stop.  Nope!  It randomly comes up and disables my wi-fi in the process.  I can't find anything else that would affect this.  What am I missing?

Only if you get caught.

From what I have been told by friends who occasionally tether, if you don't do it often, and don't download tons of data then AT&T won't care. But if you try and use it as your primary internet connection AT&T will likely notice and intervene.

However, this is second hand knowledge as I don't tether myself, so I can't personally vouch for its validity.

how do u do this on a mac??

I had an unlimited data plan...  I can tether as part of that and do not have to pay extra?

Hello, this is my first post here.  I tether with my Impression but I pay for the tethering plan at $60.00 a month for up to 5 gigs.  It is very easy to do, just install the Samsung_NPS.IB5.exe version of New PC Studio from the Samsung site, plug in your USB cable, and click on "internet connect" and thats it...your connected.   It works very well, and when I am in a 3G area, I get blazing speeds.  I agree with agoattamer, dont cheat, pay for your broadband or face the wrath of ATT.   A wireless network has very limited capacity.  If everyone cheats, it will bring the network to a crawl. 

That being said, I think the Impression is really cool! I use the ATT Navigator instead of using my On-Star and it even tells me about traffic jams miles ahead.   I also use it to play music thru a blue tooth connection.  The OLED display is great! Moodio is awesome on the Impression!  I can even download some and view attachments from my email.  This is the best phone I have ever had!  The features of a "Smartphone" without the lockups.

Do I have to pay for it? like data plan?

anyone tried using any facebook apps with this.. i cant get connected to any of em.. its strange.. could it just be cause my ping is so high with this connection?
