    I'm using an unlocked and jailbroken iphone 3gs on an unlimited data plan on o2 bill pay. Regards internet tethering, if I enable the optionnin settings and hook it up to my laptop I should be able to basically have free internet on my laptop right?

    Wrong, o2 can tell that your tethering and will proceed to extort the bejaysus out of you. You could run up a bill of MILLIONS. IPhone only phone that allows them to do this.

    No unlimited data package enables tethering. I'm on the same plan and asked o2 this a while back. I'm weighing up unlimited data vs. tethering

    i was sure i read on the o2 forum that was the case, i rang cc one day to be sure and was told no it definately doesnt cover tethering, told her bout seeing in on the forum and she said no if i got the 3gb data addon that i could use that to tether

    so i went back on the forum and low and behold i was told yes i can tether, its annoying as fuk when cc dont know the ins and outs of what they are supporting

    Fantastic news for iPhone owners. I do most of my surfing on the phone but occasionally need to sync a couple of items to the laptop, that's why I got the desire - becomes a WiFi hotspot
