    Hi,

    Can you please confirm if eMobile tethering is:
    1) permitted? and
    2) inclusive as part of all your data packages and
    3) if the same conditions apply for Meteor customers?

    Many thanks

    I've tried to set my iPhone up as a 'Personal Hotspot' and while I can get the laptop connected to it no problem, there is no internet access.

    I take it by default tethering is blocked then?.

    If not can I PM my number to somebody in eMobile to have my account checked out please?.

    Tethering on the E-mobile network isn't blocked it must be a problem with the phone connecting to the PC.

    Could be a borked operator setting on the iPhone, see if eMobile or Meteor will send out an operator settings message that fixes it. Thats the problem with iPhones, they lock too many settings down as part of the service to an operator.

    If you are entitled to an unlock then get it unlocked and you can troubleshoot it.

    Hi Fungus
    Have response to your queries, if you need any further info let me know.

    Can you please confirm if eMobile tethering is:
    1) permitted? Tethering is permitted on the eMobile Network.


    2) inclusive as part of all your data packages:Yes.. Data used up by tethering would be subtracted from customers data package. We would not advise tethering as it uses up a lot of data.

    3) if the same conditions apply for Meteor customers? Yes.., you can tether on Meteor with no extra charge incurred. We would advise customers not to tether as after you go over your allowance it costs 2c per MB.

    Many thanks for the classification Tony.

    I suggest you make it clearer on your Meteor and eMobile website.

    Given the constraints 3 and O2 put on prepay tethering, your liberal tethering rules, are a selling point for Meteor and eMobile.

    Thanks again.

    I have commented here recently about eMobile but the same applies to Meteor.
