iPhone 4 and 4S

Hey peeps,

Just thought i'd share info that i have discovered myself, ever since i've been with Voda and the Iphone the tethering option as been disabled, asking to contact Vodafone if selected.. Now i don't know if they have changed this with a carrier update but a couple of days ago while on the train i was playing with my iphones settings and noticed that the tethering setting has a on/off toggle switch, i switched it on and didn't switch it back off...

Now fast forward a few days and i've completely forgotten about it, i plugged my iphone into itunes for a sync.. then looked and noticed the iphone had a blue banner on its screen, hadn't noticed this before, i have now realised its tethering.. I didn't use the internet and the laptop was connected to the home wifi, as well as the iphone and somehow the phone now displays that i have used 11.0 KB sent and 1.0 KB recieved..

Checking my latest unbilled usage and i have been charged for it (0.762 KB at 4.167)

So almost £5 for that amount of data!! im glad i realised and didn't browse the internet...

Look out peeps and make sure you leave the tethering switched off...

I would agree with that, just to back up that as soon as the first fraction of data is noted the £5 charge is added

yeah i fell short of this using the new wifi hotspot feature coming up, had to phone vodafone to find out what had happened. Just keep it all switched off unless youre actually going to use it properly
