How much does the app cost and how do you pay for it, will using this stop the mobile network from knowing how much i've downloaded and stop them knowing i am tethering?.

It costs $15.95 (about a tenner) but you can use it free of charge for a while to test it. You pay by paypal or credit card. The app definitely hides the fact that you're tethering but not sure if it can actually hide the usage. There is an option "hide usage" on PDANet but not tried this myself on my iphone 4. Best thing to do is search for "PDANet" on Android market (on your handset) then install it. Run it with "hide usage" enabled then see if this uses any data from your allowance.

Thanks for your reply, i've not actually got a usage on my tarrif, its unlimited, but they dont allow you to tether thats all, and i have been using more than they would probably want you to use, or which you could use on a mobile device, i will look at that program, if needed would there be a chance you could help us set it up?.

No problem mate, more than happy to help you set it up I've PM'd you. Out of interest which network are you on?

Hes on no network, none of them offer unlimited data plans

Eh? He's on o2 on the old unlimited data plan which they are still honouring.

Hmm, I must investigate. I was using my Android phone and tethering with my laptop a couple of weeks ago.

Didn't think anything of it since I have 500MB of data in my TalkMobile contract. Don't use anywhere near that, but after reading this I shot off to check my terms and conditions. Didn't see anything about tethering, just about using it for illegal content.

Hope facebook, gmail, yahoo mail and some facebook apps and games don't falll into the category of "illegal" material

Well, we shall see. Not had any emails or calls about it so have to assume it's ok?

i get unlimited downlaods on mine XD no fair usage or download limits at all and it 15pound a month im on Three or 3 the "all in one plan" i also use it for tethering and just use the bog standerd windows mobile sharing tool pretty good over all so im happy and no stupidly small 500MB download limit.
