hi guys im going to oz soon and i need a prepaid which can use personal hotspot on my iphone4 aka tethering ...

i was told optus prepaid DOES NOT support tethering .. .zzzz ... and i tried it when i was there ... shop say can .. call customer service say cant ... damn full of sh}t ... in the end i just ask my friend who works in optus ... he says optus prepaid can't tether using prepaid ...

any other mobile operator users out there who's in oz ... can tell me which prepaid can be used for tethering?

hi

i don't really understand the technical term, but i used the iphone connected to my laptop through usb cable and I can surf the internet on my laptop, but that is previously on firmware 4.1,

not yet has hotspot n such, after upgrading to 4.3.2 i tried connecting to internet using the hotspot but cannot, never tried using usb cable with the new firmware , maybe i did it wrongly don't know, now at home have internet connection so not using it any more

i used vodafone flexi cap prepaid, 29 per month, but 500mb of data only (sometimes got promo got until 1gb), I am in melbourne

thanks alot for ur help

im on 4.3.3 and bought the optus prepaid and recharged that aud30 turbo cap thingy ... but my hotspot cant turn on. ive never tried to use usb cable to my laptop cuz during that time i was using ipad2 to connect to my iphone4.

australia's telco operators' websites are so darn confusing. its so hard to find whether or not their prepaid plans can use tethering ...

but yes u were tethering using USB cable method ...

but wireless method for u seems to be unable to connect ... actually if it says 'please contact your operator' if u tried the hotspot .. means cannot i think ...

will check vodofones flexi cap and see ... cheers
