At first, I thought the new data plan for Sprint HTC EVO 4 would cost $39.99, and later I got the impression that it would drop down to $29.99 monthly. So I decided to verify at Sprint Relay Store. I had to pretend to "order" to find out the cost of the data plan, and I knew that I could cancel the order very easily by just stopping and closing down the order.
This is what I found. $29.99 monthly for the Sprint PDA Data only Plan which includes unlimited SMS text messages, but not Phone as Modem (PAM) for tethering. In order to update to 4G, Sprint requires additional $10 premium data which I assume to include PAM.
If you want to use HTC EVO 4G to share the internet with multiple WI-FI devices, you will have to pay $29.99 monthly for mobile hotspot. If you have to ask what this is, you probably don't need this feature.
