Guest BGRT Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 I'm 99% sure that's the case but as it isn't listed as a feature on Vodaphone's website... Is tethering / portable hotspot enabled from the start, without having to root ? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest spences10 Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Is there a way to do it without the network finding out? i.e. without a tethering plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mtman1 Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 (edited) I don't think they can find out anyway. I'm probably wrong, but I saw it on the giffgaff fourms somewhere... Edit: yes you can, but if they do fnd out, you'll probably have to pay a heafty sum. Not advised. Edit 2: look at this http://www.lifehacker.com/5850476/how-can-i-tether-without-my-carrier-finding-out Edited June 21, 2012 by Mtman1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BGRT Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Thanks Tillaz. Re. the network finding out, I suppose it depends which network you're on and what you tether. I'm sure I've read somewhere that (at least on Giffgaff) tethering something like a PC is frowned upon but other than that, I tether my Android tablet and having used between 3~7 Gb over the last few months, I've never had any problems.

Guest omegavesko Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 I prefer to use something like PDANet or CWM Tether, but I believe it is a standard feature. Whether they pay attention to it depends on the carrier, though there are several ways for them to find out whether you're tethering - Checking headers, measuring changes in packet TTL, that sort of thing.
