Bridging my Playbook to my Torch

[d_source]

Hi All,

Asked a few Bell reps and no one can answer this Q. Lets see if anyone here knows. I have a corporate Blackberry Torch (paid for by my company) which includes unlimited data on the plan but not tethering. I have a personal Playbook and want to use the bridge feature so I can use internet on the go. RIM marketed these devices saying bye bye to tethering charges by using bridge.
Question: Does Bell see this as tethering? AND can Bell track this type of usage since it is mirroring?

Thanks.

As long as your using the Bridge Browser you are good. Just don't choose the Internet tethering option under settings.

Yes i would only be using the bridged apps, mainly the bridge browser and the "internet tethering" option is definitely shut off in the options. Can Bell track bridge browser usage as tethering? Are they physically able to track this?

I don't understand why this is so difficult for Bell employees to answer. I've gone to 4 different Bell stores and spoken to 3 CSRs and technical reps and no one can give me and answer. Gawd I hate bhell!

No

The best way to describe it is ...

The playbook is just a giant mirror for your BB and uses the services directly from the BB and nothing more. I've been bridging for 3 months with no extra charges. I have unlimited data.
