    it is a one time fee, and it is completely worth it because the ios 4.3 option requires you to pay for another plan in addition to your one you already have.

    MyWi uses you iPhone's 3G to broadcast wifi, or shares your 3G with your computer via usb.

    hahah, nice, id say its one of the best cydia store apps

    although if you are going to use it, do not update to 4.3 as AT&T has been pretty angry about it , read about it here :AT&T Cracking Down on MyWi Tethering?

    $20 is so damn expensive, I'm not willing to pay that for something I will use maybe 10 times a month at most.

    Then you probably shouldn't buy it

    Maybe get tetherme or pdanet instead.

    MyWi is well worth it. They have updates all the time and the forums get very quick replies. Much better to pay $20 once than paying monthly for the ATT service.

    I agree, MyWi is worth it. But the other two I mentioned are "more affordable" I suppose. I use MyWi though.

    $20 / (10/month * 12 months) = ~$0.17 per use.

    I use it almost daily, definitely worth it especially if you have a wifi iPad.

    MyWi worked great to tether my laptop and another iDevice when I was out of Internet service at my new place. Totally worth the $20.

    You can use your phone as a bridge to wifi from a USB tether

    I don't think it's worth $20 if you just use it from time to time, it would be different it I used it every day.

    $20 bucks even for time to time use is worth every penny! It's there when you need it! Just think if you didn't have it the time you needed it...That alone is worth a one time $20!! Plus the dev for this app is very responsive and like what was said earlier, they update the app alot, so they keep it fresh...but truly it's your call...
