TETHERING NOT AVAILABLE

20GB and no tethering, cold from me

What details do you need for the family member to be able to get this deal.

My "step mother" is with BT Broadband but doesn't have a smartphone, could I ring up in my Mrs Doubtfire voice and ask ?

£16 you say, better go fire up the DeLorean.

Which app?

Blimey. Surely hot. signed up with Vodafone a week ago on their deal for £20 and cannot be bothered now to change as porting number and credit check. Good find op and good of you to post.

TETHERING NOT AVAILABLE

20GB and no tethering, cold from me

you can tether anyway.....
I doubt they'd notice

don't they normally give £5 off their plan prices if you're a bb customer?

Not if using an iPhone you can't - the Hotspot option is removed during the APN update process, I believe.

good deal..thanks

Don't forget Quidco, at least £40 back

you can tether

How can you tether on iPhone if no hotspot option and not jailbroken?

Good

any issues tethering those w/o iPhone any1?

Can anyone tell me how a phone company would know if you are tethering? I don't see how they can police it.

Easy to for mobile companies to see if it's mobile traffic or full web page traffic via laptop etc. Would they care, probably not if you are not taking the ****, I'm more interested in how would it work if they remove that option on the iPhone with the APN update?

Where's the deal? says £20. Doubt its £17 if you call unless you're some BT customer anyway or something.

Plus... yes you can tether as i do it all the time using the BT SIM. 4G network is a little iffy and speeds are 30mb or pay extra for a faster 4g service.

I've been using this sim for months now tethering for at least 5gb monthly with no issues.

Cold.........I mean outside :wink:

I just bought £3 deal from mobiles.co.uk..Its not worth

​you can get apps to hide the fact your tethering, I use it all the time with gg

What details do you need for the family member to be able to get this deal.

My "step mother" is with BT Broadband but doesn't have a smartphone, could I ring up in my Mrs Doubtfire voice and ask ?

Which app?

I know I'm probably going to get a response mentioning a time machine but this was only £16 the other week...

No tethering for iPhone users.
You'll be fine tethering on Android.

There are lots check out PdaNet and YouTube it :wink:

​there are loads check out PdaNet, its what I use and YouTube the query you'll find lots

That's the LOUDEST deal today :smile:

It seems caps keys tend to break quite a lot for people using this site. An interesting phenomenon.

Can if you jailbreak it

No heat

Yet ANOTHER reason why you shouldn;t be using an iPhone.:stuck_out_tongue:

Cheaper if you just buy normally online and use quidco. Works out as £16.66 /month after quidco. Mine tracked

can anyone else confirm they have got this proce as website is 20? i have bad experience of bt customer service but the bt fon access is useful!

my prior experience of bt is that if someone says 17 quid on the phone they will bill you 20 quid and you wont be able to cancel! i had to sign up to bt broadband to get bt vision. turns out bt broadband wasn't fast enough in my area for bt vision. but they wouldn't let me cancel until i threatened them with ofcom!

Yes I know giffgaff did that. There are many software that can tell the difference of traffic from a mobile vs non mobile devices.

People still tether? Weird.

The ability to tether will probably vary based on the device.

I know on 3 they have separate APN's that are used by later model Android devices, depending on the function you are using (Tethering vs Non Tethering) but these were only recently applied on newer non custom s/w versions.

This is why SIM only can be a bit of a minefield, and certain functions available on a particular network may not work correctly in a device that has not been sourced from them.

Pretty expensive considering you can get 2 year contracts with a free phone with unlimited everything for £23 a month

Cold because only for bt customers

Can I use this in a 4g mifi dongle??

Nice caught it for £16 few months back

Do not know where you use these data 20 GB
Home WiFi
Work WiFi
Public places most of them WiFi - For Security reason I do not connecting using my phones data

So real place for data usage is public place
Now biggest data usage is youtube - or movies stream
To do this you need to be on the bus , train , or car someone . to be still
I do think that when you walk you not watching movies
So how much time you spend sitting or relaxing per day ?? me not much time to what anything

Now signal quality moving ?? - losing connection needs to be in open spaces where transmitter can reach you to stream HD quality . Im not talking about signal it self but when say train moves signal one place can be ok next place none

I have before T-mobile unlimited an max what I use 6gb maybe can reach 8 GB

i got this a few weeks back for £16 for existing BT Broadband customers with £40 amazon voucher and £40 quidco. Is the £17 price for non-BT customers? If so, then hot.

Just phoned and they said its £20, not £17?!?

Does it not depend on whether you set the data up with BT's app. I just turned data on and it works ok, I think, on my iPhone 6.

I'm so glad that you work in a location that you can receive free public wifi, personally I don't, that's why I need to be able to tether, afterall every other major mobile network provider allows tethering on their pay monthly contracts, yet bt doesn't as per their own terms and conditions, sorry until bt allow you to use the data that you're paying for how you want it's still cold here for me

>>>>>
? Erh.. I don't? I was referring to the point that there are *other* ways to connect to BT services and not
just the public wifi options..

Been tethering on BTmobile since it started [obviously not on a Crapple iBone] and as long as you do
not use it for P2P or Torrent crap downloads and other obvious against T&C sites.. its not an issue..

Anyway it will not be long before all the new ISP filters come into play and as most of the back hauls
for the towers, that supply the data target transponders actually get routed through BT hardware and
dark central fiber links. This will stop *most* traffic from *most* crap places and torrents via tethering..

BTmobile will have the advantage, as to if they then *allow* tethering in the PM contracts when all the
above happens eventually.. so should be good for all BT/EE mobile users ;-)

..............

i got this deal on december
20 per month....but minus 5 because i am bt customer and also minus 40 cashback and 20amazon voucher...so from 240-60-40-20= 120
i can call it deal...but for this offered price ..noooo this is not deal at all

A question please...I am about to have BT broadband installed and after that I will go for this sim...what will happen after 12 months if I move my BB service to another company? will they put the sim monthly rent to £25? I am hoping it will continue after the 12 month at £20 on monthly basis

The contract is for 12 months

I suspect he or she is telling porkies

I looked into getting this as a great deal and my contract had just ran out, was looking ideally for a 1 month contract. In the end i got deal with three for £20 a month with unlimited data, text and min and also 12gb tethering. All in all not bad

Ez_x

Just called BT and they told me no offers on at the moment it's £20. Anyone else managed to get this deal this week?

I called BT the other day regarding this deal. They said they are not aware of such deal and no promo or offers showed up on their system ? how did you get it mate?

Please expire as not available at the price listed (not for me anyway)

Really what are the other reasons ?
