I guess, it's due to operators wanting to sell their own 3G dongles with pricey monthly contracts, as if it was 'allowed' there would be a much smaller market for them. It is interesting what you say about 3 mobile, I didn't know that was the case. Hi,

I know that 02 don't like iPhone customers using their unlimited internet on anything other than an iPhone. I can see why they have that rule but personally I think it's a bit of a backward policy and pretty unfair to charge extra to hook up your laptop to your phone. I'm with 3 Mobile and they have a much more enlightened view on tethering. Hi Tom,

I know that's the case in the UK on O2, as I have experienced a similar iPhone app called 'MyWi' (Jailbroken iPhones only.)
