Excellent instructions... Keep in mind, however, that some carriers may be less than enthusiastic if they see your monthly bandwidth shoot up into the GB's per month..  Unlimited doesn't ALWAYS mean unlimited.  For instance, I'm on Verizon and they will allow tethering - for an additional charge per month!  :-\
