Tethering shouldn't be a problem, but some companies don't like counting it as data usage on the phone, or exclude it from their allowed application of the data and may charge him to do so.

I think you are supposed to pay extra for iPhone tethering. Do what I do, jailbreak it and tether for nothing.

Yes, there's an app for it, if you want to pay about £15 a month tethering charge to the phone provider.

I've actually got a 100% legit tethering from the App Store. It's called "Tether" but was only live for a matter of hours before Apple pulled it. God knows why they approved it as it makes absolutely no attempt to hide its purpose.

Even though I've never used it, it's there should I ever upgrade to a newer, unjailbreakable phone.

I've asked him to call his isp -

He's connected his laptop to his 3gs, internet working, a friend did it for him, i've warned him he needs to clarify data / usage and charges, b4 he can start watching iplayer etc whilst away from home. Rolling Eyes

Not a problem when using a HTC to connect to my laptop or tablet... hell even O2 allow you to do it.

Just connect the phone via usb and it comes up with a tethering option....

Still maybe Apple don't want people to do it.... Laughing

Apple allow it, it's the phone companies that put a high price on the service that makes it shite.

Using the "official" tethering incurs an extra charge (something like £5 for 500mb a month then £1 a Mb after that), depending on provider. Jailbreaking and using an app bypasses that.
