Tether to your hearts content, your provider (BT) has tethering restrictions - this will trick it into thinking all traffic is coming from your phone

I care! I'm not American and I don't speak American. I'm English and I speak English and as for Obama telling me what to do.. Well that is another subject. In English we abbreviate Mathematics to maths and the Septic tanks abbreviate it to math. Math to me doesn't exist in the English Language. I am not a pedant picking on spelling mistakes but I am a patriotic Englishman proud to be English. A lot of "Americanisms" are creeping into British English. I am also aware that languages evolve and mutate. Who would've thought that "sick" would mean "cool" would mean good 100 years ago? Sorry for the rant but "Math" hits a nerve with my Englishmanism. I understand that most of the TV is American these days so it may be acceptable to most. Not to me though in my little corner of Worcestershire.

Maths

I got this last time it was posted. tcb didnt track & haven't had any confirmation I qualified for amazon gift card, think ive been had :disappointed:

Maths

You need to log into BT and use your order and VOC ? numbers to claim voucher as its not automatic. There should be a link in the sign up email you had and guidance.

Don't rely on voucher, bt wriggle out of paying!

I did a sim only deal and got the voucher and TCB, cashback tracked on its own but I had to chase the voucher through BT - got it in the end though, just keep on at them

With bt vouchers you need to register online to receive them, it's there way of getting out of it but it's in the small print

Here's the link for people who didn't know

£40 at quidco

Sorry but since when has tethering been allowed on bt sim's / the bt network at all?

Looks like you can tether now

http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/55056/kw/Tethering/c/7168,7525,7551/session/L3RpbWUvMTQ2NDc5MzAxMC9zaWQvWEt6SlVZUm0%3D

​the voc code was hidden away at the bottom of one of my emails. had to hunt for it.

Ah, well that's good then =]

Excellent news on tethering then this makes bt sim's and their current price plans hot :smiley:

I got both TCB and the voucher before. 2gb for equiv £1.30 a month. Broadband paid out too, £68 for a year Inc AMC and sport (although I didn't take sport as I don't want it)

Despite them owning EE you can't get the double-speed 4G on BT mobile yet, at least not at an inclusive price. That's the only thing stopping me moving to these deals. :disappointed:

bt allow tethering since last week on Sims and bt handsets. endex.

This is from their new terms and conditions effective july 3. Seems they do not allow tethering. Happy to be advised otherwise.

You won't allow the Service, the SIM Card or Equipment to be used:
(a) for automatic communication between two devices (sometimes known as 'machine to machine communication' or 'M2M') unless it's for your personal use and interaction as a consumer. For example, you must not insert a SIM Card into any smart appliance, such as a thermostat in your home, or into a connected vehicle;
(b) with any device that routes, re-routes, forwards, or diverts calls, data, text messages, multimedia (picture) messages or other services from or to our network, to avoid Charges, make money or for any other purpose. These types of devices include a 'GSM gateway', a 'SIM box' or a 'repeater'; or
(c) with equipment that we haven't authorised you to use with the Service including:
(i) mobile broadband devices such as dongles or USB modems;
(ii) mobile Wi-Fi devices that use our service to provide internet access to other Wi-Fi enabled devices; or
(iii) any device that may access our Wi-Fi network or the internet that isn't a mobile phone (or other device) that uses a BT Mobile SIM Card.

Can you link to where you found those T&Cs?

BT broadband customers not bt customers.

Thanks. I think it's just a case that BT haven't updated their T&Cs. You are now allowed to tether.

Guys, as someone who works for BT Mobile I can confirm tethering is now supported (as of June 1st). This will automatically be available on Android and Windows Phones however if you're running an iOS device you won't be able to enable tethering until the next iOS update.

Mention about vouchers: you must claim your voucher, you must put your claim in after 14 days (cooling off period) otherwise it is auto-rejected without notification. Once applied you should receive your gift card within 30 days. Only once these 30 days have passed can the call centre advisors raise an escalation to the elusive vouchers team.

To claim your vouchers you will need your VOL number (found on order confirmation emails) but can also be provided to you over the phone if you can verify your account number.

Any questions feel free to ask

See my last comment

I have an EE signal booster, would this work with it? Unfortunately I don't get signal at home without it.

Id love to know if there is a way to signal boost BT at home. EE and Three are dodgy at my new place really hit and miss mainly miss. BT is on EE network and I want to use the benefit of signing up to a SIMO and fibre package.

BT can't say yes as effectively EE are another company and have provided you the equipment to be used with an EE sim... however we use EE and there's nothing to stop it from working. Worst case scenario you take out a BT mobile sim, it doesn't work, so you cancel within your 14 day cooling off period:)

Unfortunately BT do not supply any signal boosting products, but that's not to say that they don't work. BT just can't guarantee it. BT does offer an app to allow you to make outbound calls using your wifi (and landline allowance) though called Smart talk... doesn't help with data and sms mind you. Worst case scenario, the signal isn't up to scratch and you cancel within 14 day cooling off period :smiley:

We are in the UK, so I think you mean 'maths'.

Can a person who is a BT customer avail the BT WIFI Hotspots across the UK?

I think you have seen too many US boxsets

If you are a broadband customer definitely, mobile not sure.

I have an EE Signal Booster and its works with Virgin Mobile and BT SIM cards (as well as EE obviously)

No, I mean the math. But thanks for your concern.

Who cares if it is math or maths. I and supposedly 99.9% of the population understand the meaning.

Some people eh

I thought it was unlimited data, I was just about to jump up and down lol So want a 150gb 4g good value sim plan.

Thanks for mentioning that. I didn't even notice I hadn't put the data limit in the title.

Will I loose the £5 discount if I cancel my bt broadband in 6 month? My contract is due in Dec.

I have this sim and can confirm it works with an ee signal box. Been using it for months

Yes. It will. Mine does

Could I put this sim into a mifi and use the data that way?

If I had BT broadband I'd certainly consider going for this now tethering is supported, even without any vouchers it's still fairly decent and the sort of deal that often gets offered as retention deals.

As for math vs maths....... honestly does it really warrant replies, who cares? we all understood it, it's not like missing out the s makes it harder to understand. Pedantry can get rather tiresome, or should that be pedantry is rather tiresome when it's something so trivial. Now, grumbling about brought vs bought, that's another matter :smile:

£40 quidco if you prefer over TCB?

i already have a 12 month bt sim deal, guess there's no way to transfer over to this deal :/

Took this out a week ago for £60 amazon voucher, and my quidco didn't track. Rage.

I personally favour TCB as being the more reliable option but we should not base a deal on cash back given the variables that can occur.

Yes you will (or should at least - provided systems do their job properly)

Had a chat with BT customer service and they told Tethering is only allowed on mobiles purchased from BT. Not allowed on SIM only plans... this is a deal breaker for me... beware of not falling in the trap...

I care! I'm not American and I don't speak American. I'm English and I speak English and as for Obama telling me what to do.. Well that is another subject. In English we abbreviate Mathematics to maths and the Septic tanks abbreviate it to math. Math to me doesn't exist in the English Language.

This shows £90 cashback

http://www.topcashback.co.uk/bt-mobile/

BT advisor just mentioned Tethering only available on phones purchased via BT mobile option, not on sim only plans which this deal is about.... why is there confusion on the policy....

Lack of training perhaps? BT confirmed to me that tethering was allowed as I had been sitting on the fence for months waiting to find out. It is also confirmed here http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/55056/~/does-bt-mobile-support-tethering%3F

That's for the phone & sim offer.

I never received the voucher.

I respect your opinion as of a few years ago I felt much the same. I do believe though that much of the changes are due to people communicating via the net, we learn mainly by copying, hence the way people communicate when constantly exposed to 'other ways of doing things' is only going to increase these type of changes. Perhaps in three or four hundred years we will all be speaking a universal internet based language.

Tethering is working here :smiley:... on BT

Smashing deal !! Been waiting for a very long time for them to allow tethering have some heattt

Lengthy
Reliable
Talented
Influential
Tremendous
Faze

All words given to use by the US. Get over it.

BT allows tethering so no need to root anything.

Anyone know if you can port number over from EE themselves to BT even tho network is EE? I have my pac just looking to move over to either this sim only deal failing that a three sim only

Yes I think you can as I am porting my number over from Life Mobile which is also on the EE Network.

You can avail of their "Extra Speed 4G" but after a 30 trail it'll cost you an extra £4 per month on a rolling contract. Therefore the price for BT Customers would be £20p/m before Amazon vouchers & TCB. Still a very good deal.

http://home.bt.com/tech-gadgets/phones-tablets/bt-mobile-extra-speed-4g-11364037773425

Cheers op, been looking for a good data deal as going to be working away from home for a few months & need data! Still annoyed as home WiFi won't be used bot still have to pay for it :disappointed:

"Who would of thought". You are not that English if you think that is acceptable. We all know it is "Who would HAVE thought".

Very glad to finally hear this. They deactivated my employee sim a week after I got it because I was tethering!

Just for your reassurance my TCB is tracking £35.35 for this deal, bought last night.

Why not I've tethered my O2 iPhone for years?

Also with the EE merger has coverage improved recently as I took a BT SIM in December but found it unusable indoors while EE did have decent coverage in the same situation? Had to cancel the SIM.

Thank you for pointing out my spelling error. I have corrected it.

​Yes. U can port from ee to bt mobile

Only question for tethering would be.. is it like threes tethering policy, IE... I was on unlimited data and had a 4gb tether cap paying £15 a month. Now on 20gb and £16 a month with BT... I am assuming I can tether that 20gb too.

How many per house hold can you do? Tethering will help great
On a old o2. With 500mins unlimited text and unlimited data (well unlimited to a few years ago were is it now 4gb on 3G) for £16.83 odd. But tethering for years on it

Can you confirm it's working for you on SIMO?

Awesome

​acceptable doesn't make it correct. it's maths :wink:

There is no confusion here, you've been given incorrect info.
Regardless of where you buy the phone it's the network that decides whether you can tether.

Yes you can

5 per person, max 15 per household

Gonna try this now!

IIRC it's 5 per person but unlimited per household? But better check first?

Edit:

You can only order one BT Mobile plan at a time. But you can come back later and order a second plan if you'd like. You're allowed up to 5 plans per account but there's no limit to the number of people in a house that can order.

https://www.productsandservices.bt.com/mobile/sim-only-deals/

as long as i can get one for myself and the other half il be happy
i went on to 02 today and see what their talking computer could do for me

there best was unlimited text/call and 20gb of 4g data for £20.

Been thinking about this and this would probably be the tariff to go for even if you are a low user. Reason being you get 80 quid Amazon credit for this but only 40 quid for the 2GB plan and 20 quid for the 500mb plan. You are allowed to go down to a lesser plan once during 12 months so bank your Amazon credit and then downgrade your plan. Simples......or have I missed summat? :man:

Edit; looks like you can only move down one plan once every 12 months so say if you really want the 2GB plan sign up for the 15GB plan, get your Quidco and 80 quid Amazon credit THEN downgrade to the 2GB plan. Even if it takes 3 months (it probably won't) you are still 22 quid up! :stuck_out_tongue:

Just went for this, got 2 emails from BT but neither contain the VOLO number that you need for voucher! There is an order reference number but no Volo num ?

So temped by this, never have had 4g before
But in a 12 month contract is my problem, even I have been in a 30day contract from 2006 lol

12 month contract was the thing that made me pause but after doing the sums it's basically a no-brainer. Quidco 40 quid, 80 quid Amazon credit, then downgrade to the 2GB tariff ASAP. Even if that takes 3 months (Quidco paid out very quick on my BT BB) it works out at 1.50 per mth net for 12 months should the cashback come through OK. Unbeatable if you are a BT BB household.

I know it's a good deal. But 12 months locked in, isn't me lol

I'm curious - BT / 3 / O2 are doing good deals at the moment - but EE (direct) are quiet. Does anybody think they'll be throwing out some new offer towards the end of the month?

Is it the end the accounting quarter/year?

Is that why these deals seem to appear toward the end of June?

Then walk away; why torture yourself so? :man:

I do this all the time, lol

Yeah, I'm on a sim only. When I took it out a couple of months the ago I couldn't tether... now I can. Huge bonus.

Is this on android or iPhone?

Both

Ordered, thank you. I save 68p a month now, but with more data and speed

Got to be Android. Tethering not available on iPhone till next update.

Jailbroken maybe?

Could be. Never totally understood jailbreaking an iPhone TBH. Why not just get a cheaper Android if you want to be allowed to do what you want? :stuck_out_tongue:

Got my quidco email for tracking, on the two accounts I got there is 40£ tracking on each.

I love jail breaking, still waiting on a new iPad jailbreak

Pay massively over the odds for the hardware then invalidate the warranty? Madness. :stuck_out_tongue:

The iPhone is dung, iPad is great.
But andriod phones great, any tablet I tried is just like a larger slower phone, and it doesn't work.

Hit restore and all is gone

My iPhone updated last night. It now has tethering option allowed on BT mobile! Yip!

Hi what iPhone and what update did u upgrade to please?

Hi what iPhone and what update did u upgrade to please?

I got a pop up on my phone that said update carrier settings on an iPhone 6, tethering is now supported. Hope this helps.

Just so people know this DOESNT include double speed 4G. You have got to pay an extra £4 if you want that which if you're a BT customer - £20 isn't bad.

I had a pop up appear at 1am this morning saying something about carrier settings updating, I checked and Personal Hotspot had appeared on my iPhone 5s. I have only been with BT mobile for 1 week on the 15gb package.

Hi what iPhone and what update did u upgrade to please?

Hi mate,

What's the procedure if you sign up for BT mobile half way through your fibre contract and avail of the £5 discount but leave BT when your fibre contract ends? I assume you are asked to pay the extra £5 on the mobile tariff?

Yes, if you leave BT BB then the discount does not apply.

I deliberately delayed getting a BT SIM until my 12 months BB contract was up due to them probably using the fact I was saving 5 quid a month on the SIM to offer an inferior retention deal. In the end it didn't matter as I (maybe stupidly?) accepted an early upgrade offer of Infinity 2 for 14 quid a month.

Yup I almost missed out on my £100 mastercard thingy. They did give it though once I had registered, and TCB tracked too. Goes to show how much they overcharge!


I'm also stupidly considering that but they offered me 24 month contract and thats a bit scary

I believe it's a 24 month contract, so if you have just signed up for broadband like me and are only planning to keep broadband for 12 months because it will be more expensive month 13 onwards, then this will be more expensive after 1 year and therefore the average monthly cost will be higher.

Maths/math:

£192 (£16pm x 12mths) + £252 (£21 x 12mths) = £444 - £80 Amazon = £364/24mts = £15.17 p/m without relying upon TCB.

BT broadband and mobile are 12 month contracts.

Oh...online chat and a phone call to CS told me 24 month contract. Hence I didn't sign up. I'll have to check this again.

It's 24 month contract for phone & sim deals. This deal is a 'Sim Only' deal therefore it is only for 12 months.

Can anyone confirm or deny if it's possible to use this sim in a MiFi device? Can't find anything online about it.

That's my pac code got from o2. Been with them from 2001

Not ignoring you, already been answered , but yeah your contract price goes up by the fiver

Confirmed. :smiley:

Thanks OP, have gone for this. Got my Infinity 2 a couple of months ago so there shouldn't be too much overlap next year.

I can see there's a VOL code at the bottom of the 'Thanks for Choosing BT' email, but this says it's in reference to the £50 discount from the phone range - guess it shows up in the https://www.vouchers.bt.com/claim-my-reward page when it's available to claim ?

This looks more promising https://www.vouchers.bt.com/offer/mobileclaim/?s_cid=con_FURL_mobileclaim

Obviously it requires the SIM to be activated by the look of it :-)

sim cards just turned up in the posted, ordered on Sunday and here in n.ireland on tuesday.
so in the middle of activating and have sent my PAC code, all should be setup by tomorrow at the latest

Just wait 14 days before applying, otherwise it'll be rejected without notification.

thats is me activated. never had 4g before.
thank you

I filled in as soon as sim activated, will try again after 14 days, it does not say anything on the form about 14 days, i understand you need to wait 14 days to make sure you have not cancelled but you should not be rejected for appling immediately!

Im currently o2 customer is bt mobile good? Only ever had o2 although always had bt broadband

BT SIM reached today. But on iphone iOS 9.3.2 seems like no hotspot is allowed



image upload no limit

I've had it since iOS 7(?) on my O2 iPhone. No problem with 9.3.2.

I'm able to use hotspot with BT mobile absolutely fine on my iPhone, running 9.3.2.

Had to restart phone and update carrier settings. Then hotspot option appeared. Thanks all :smiley:

found a problem with getting multi-able cards per house
i now paying for the other half's bill
lol

I thought about it for a second, then I asked the Mrs what her last phone bill came to ... she looked at me blankly, I decided it's better that she has her own account :smile:

If you want it moving into the OH's name, call 150 / 0800 800 150, ask to speak to the faults department and ask foR it to be moved into her name. You both have to be present and the process takes about 30 minutes to do, can't be done as 30 mins straight, it'll be like 10 mins on the call, 10-15 minutes of back end work and then a further 10 mins or so on a callback to yourself
