Hotspot Q for anyone with a developers account (with IOS 4.3 beta) & on Vodafone...

    Just wondering what APN the hotspot feature is pulling data from once turned on?

    Obviously if its Live & your on one of the PCA+ packages that means it'll come from your data allowance but I cant see VF allowing that to continue in future given the fact that pre 4.3 tethering normally pulls from the Office APN & incurs a seperate charge, theyre hardly just going to allow this new feature pass by them & not try & capitalize on it - opinions?

    doesn't it depend on the carrier file i.e. whether it's displayed on the phone and whether you can use the same apn details?

    No idea on how the existing carrier files may affect beta firmwares?

    I wouldve just assumed they were so new that they would override any exisitng carrier files from the network & that the hotspot option would just be there with tethering either being a seperate or now obsolete option

    The hotspot function appears to be integrated with the tethering ability so presumably it will use the tethering APN in the carrier file (office on vodafone).
