    Does 3 Mobile charge users for using the tether function on their phone?
    I've been a 3 customer for several years with an all you can use data plan. Only occasionally do I use tethering, but usually for long periods when I do.
    I have never noticed a charge or at least a high charge on my bill.
    I don't really want to ask them to find out in case they suddenly decide to start charging me.

    Tethering it's against their T&C.

    If its continuous and you keep going over they will throttle you but not charge unless its waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to much.

    It's not a good idea to tether on a bill pay service unless it's explicitly allowed so check their terms.

    On 3 pay as you go, it's not allowed but not blocked.

    o2 Customers migrated to Three who haven't changed package WILL be be charged - everyone else currently isn't.

    This^^^

    Old O2 plans specifically state the allowances are for data used on the device and any use of tethering will incur charges.
    There are a couple of ways the tethering is detected by Three, both on an APN level and TTL detection.
