Why not tethering? I use it very lightly – and I don’t mind being capped at 2GB or so. It is something I can do with my 2yr old K800i.

I wouldn’t mind a little bonus tethering option for us iPhone users with automatic shutoff after that…but this would degrade the 3g connection if everyone was allowed to tether with the current plan.

Come on O2!

I need tethering for my Tomtom traffic updates. That really wouldn’t eat up a lot of bandwidth – so I would resent paying for it. Can’t they just cap the monthly usage at something reasonable – and charge for higher limits?

Lack of tethering is the one thing holding me back from buying a iPhone.

AT&T charges $20 for tethering on their non iPhone plans. So:

$30 data plan
$20 tethering
$15 for 1500 SMS
$59 for 900 min
——-
$124 before taxes and junk fees.

Holy crap, my bill is going to be like $140+. That’s more than I pay for my ridiculously expensive Comcast cable + internet. And way more than I pay for my T-Mobile hacked iPhone bill, which has 1200 minutes a month for $75. Do I really want 3G + tethering that badly?

NO WAY I WILL PAY EXTRA FOR IT!
You know the least they will charge is $10 and I’m already spending $10 for 3G that I only used for the four days I have been in Jackson, MS since I got my phone. Thats $120 I’m not using + $120 more for slow internet = $240 a year i could be saving
rediculous

Dear AT&T,
I will love you forever if tethering free!
Guy that you steal $$ from, Ryan
