If you do use the mobile hot spot, does anyone know what access point it uses? Eg does it come out of your iPhone data allowance or is it charged separately?

If you're with 3 it comes out of your allowance, not sure about the others.

If you're with Vodafone it most definitely does NOT come out of your allowance, far all others it does...

No it turns your 3G into wifi. If there was already wifi there why would you want to share with the phone rather than connect directly, but pointless no?
