Sprint Hotspot Feature with 2.2 ?'s

Not sure why my thread got moved, this thread is discussing 4g hotspot and I am talking about 3g. I do not get 4g in my area yet I am still able to connect the hotspot and I am not paying for it. Thanks moderators.
 
I was at a friends house last night who has a htc incredible. He showed me a hack he found to get into some kind of settings where he was able to change the "dun" on the phone and enable wifi hotspot without paying for it. I did a google search for the EVO, but couldn't find anything without having to root (waiting for unrev. 3.2). So, I decided to just give my evo a try and turned on the wifi hotspot setting. I did get the error message that many people have talked about, but then the wifi hotspot turned on and I was able to connect my laptop and my wife's phone to my evo. I am not signed up for the hotspot and I am not paying the $30 monthly fee for the service so does anyone know how this is happening and will I be charged for it? I have had my phone for about 3 months so definitely not in the 30 day trial period. Would sprint be able to charge me for this service even though I did not sign up for it? Also, does anyone know about the "dun" method I talked about above? My friend did his incredible pretty easy, but as I said, I couldn't find anything about it on the EVO. Maybe a Verizon thing, I don't know.


Are you on 2.2 or 2.1? Apparently you can tether 4G free on 2.1.
