Except iOS has tethering, it's just disabled on AT&T. Says more about the US mobile market than it does about iOS.

- evan_ 15y agoit's not even disabled on AT&T, you just have to pay extra for it.
- nknight 15y agoActually, even that isn't entirely accurate anymore. Apparently tethering is included in the new 4GB data plan (which is $45, to the 2GB plan's $25).
- lloeki 15y agoIn the meantime in France we're still getting raped: tethering on Orange is 8€ for 200MB/month or 25€ for 1GB/month, and that's atop a 45€/month 2h voice+1GB data (phone-only) plan.
- cubicle67 15y agoexactly. I've got an ancient (2nd gen) iPhone on which I spend about $30 prepaid and it's been tethering fine for years. I know, because I use the tethering regularly
- bigiain 15y agoCurious, I often bring an iPhone to the USA and put a prepaid SIM in it when I get there, last few times I got an AT&T SIM, the tethering option vanished from my preferences. With a TMobile SIM, I can tether, but only at EDGE data rates, not 3G. (Last trip, I use AT&T in the iPad and tMobile in the phone, seemed to be my most cost effective set of options)
- robterrell 15y agoTMobile uses different frequencies, which is why you'll only get EDGE data rates with that TMobile SIM.
- cubicle67 15y agoCan't help, sorry. My experience is with Telstra in Australia
