Simple Trick for Tethering Phone to Computer

Wifi is everywhere these days...except on the boat.  Our marina offers wifi but it is too weak and spotty to rely on.  The phone signal on the boat is strong but who wants to surf the web on a phone?  You could pay one of the major carriers a boat load for the privilege of tethering your phone but you already give them a good portion of your paycheck.  I found a nice little way to make it happen for a fraction of the cost and you don't have to jailbreak your phone.  By using http://tether.com/ you can have blazing speeds (LTE makes a huge difference) on your computer, watch movies and more.  The cost is $30 and now you can surf anywhere.  Be sure to follow the directions closely and you finally have access when and where you want it.  Works with iPhone, Blackberry and Android.
