how do i add internet tethering to my pay monthly sim? i cant find it anywhere online. its not an option on my bolt on list on my02

Why bother? I've used my San Francisco teathered a few times now and nothing has been said. I'll add that I limited my data usage though as 500mb a month doesn't go all that far.

i didn't realise i could just tether it? using my iphone 4 and i assum when they bring out 4.3 O2 will have to allow the wifi hotspot feature and ill need a bolt on?

You might not, if it works like on Android you wont need any bolt-ons for it.

Just wait and see on the 11th!

I havnt really see any add on for wifi hotpost and such in UK its more of a US thing thou they get charged a fety amount 45$, would suck if we had to pay something similar

I Think the "Personal Hotspot" tool is the only reason im looking Forward to iOS 4.3, Hopefully its Free...

To Tether you have to purchase a Bolt-on for like £15 p/m for like 2gb usage.

Just Wait for 4.3 and see what happens...

Been tethering my 3GS for 6 months or so, requires jailbreak to do it freely though. iOS 4 broken yet?

You get unlimited data for mobile phone usage, it's pretty simple really.

it still is the mobile phone using it, it's just sharing it

is there really much difference between mobile and normal tho? for a normal user just browsing? every site i view on my phone i few on my laptop! theres no extras at all! it would just be nice to link my ipad up to it! not that is much of an issue now as ive got the 3g pad

Anyone having issues with O2 tethering and age verification? Tried using it at the weekend and it deemed some sites 18+ followed by some age verification requiring my debit/credit card. I thought it was a virus/malware but others seemed to have got it over the last couple of years.

Yeah, you need to register a CC to use O2 mobile internet to visit naughty (and some not so) sites. Been the case forever afaik
