Re: Tethering UK providers
it does not need to be an old 3g phone for these charges (if any) to apply. Even if you have an iphone or a samsung s3, if there are tethering charges these will apply to you anyway. Only exception is - as you said - if you have BB and you bridge it.
I bought my gf a PB. But she has the Nokia E5. She is about to change provider and we were looking at the available options.
I could not find any info in the CB forum so I created a thread in case someone is in the same position as us and is looking for this kind of info.
