You can get away with it for a while if you use it very sparingly. But if you expect to tether all the time and not get caught, you're in for a rude awakening...
EDIT: Plus, most free tethering apps require jailbreak. If your iPhone isn't jailbroken, it's a pain in the ass process: http://au.ibtimes.com/articles/48837...m#.U0Qaea1dVig |

Verizon had to settle with the FCC for trying to bar such applications and usage. Tethering is allowable without paying Verizon the monthly service charge. The $20/month is just Verizon preying on people's lack of understanding.
