I can confirm that if u wanna call and surf internet at the same time, the signal changes (if from LTE) to 3g.

And no, tethering is chargeable. On iPhone 6s, after I installed Webe sim, the setting "Personal Hotspot" is gone completely! As for the pricing for tethering, I saw it is about rm6 for two hours pass for my current plan (Rm10 per month)

Isn't tethering a function of the phone? How can a SIM disable it?

I am not really sure about this, but after I install the sim, I was prompted to install APN configuration. Not sure if that APN setting disables the tethering function though.

This link has sample APN settings for various Malaysian telco...

But it doesn't look like it has anything to do with tethering hmm.gif

Did you install any Webe app?
If you replace the SIM with the old one, will you get back the tethering function?

Americans usually buy phones from the telco, which have customized firmware.

Our member here uses his existing phone. I just don't understand how Webe can disable tethering.

yes telco can detect tethering through few methods. Google and read about it.

"how does telco detect tether"
*
The page below listed several ways...
http://android.stackexchange.com/questions...cl-wifi-hotspot

Your Phone asks your network if tethering is allowed
Not the case of our friend, as he is using non-customized iPhone.

Your phone tells your network that you are tethering
Not so sure about this, but can detect =/= can disable
One thing telco can do is to disable mobile network connection whenever it detects tethering. But from what our friend describes, the option to enable tethering simply disappeared.

Inspecting the network packets for their TTL (time to live)
Possible. But again can detect =/= can disable

MAC address inspection
MAC address can't travel across networks, e.g. from wifi to mobile network

TCP/IP Stack Fingerprinting
Possible. But again can detect =/= can disable

Looking at the Destination IP/URL
Possible. But again can detect =/= can disable

This is getting very interesting rolleyes.gif
