Help Question about tethering the Galaxy

[iAstonish]

If I bought a 3g model off ebay would I be able to tether it from my phone without having to pay monthly? I'm rooted obviously, but here's the catch....I have a Thunderbolt.

Would this make it impossible to tether since the Galaxy doesn't support 4g?

No its not a problem. You would turn your phone into a hot spot and run your tablet in wifi. The 4G doesn't affect anything. I would recommend turning on airplane mode to save batteries.

I've got the WiFi only Galaxy Tab and a Thunderbolt. Tethering works well and basically turns the Galaxy Tab into a 4G "like" device.

One thing to remember...you are going to burn through your Thunderbolt's battery when tethering. If you can have the Thunderbolt plugged in while tethering, you should

Try 'Open Garden WIFI Tether' I am using it to tether my Evo and Tab. Works like a charm. Find it at the Marketplace. It's free.
