Second that, Virgin is switch on goes to information page instructing how to connect through USB or Bluetooth it works with Powerbook. Small message about additional charges could be applied, my understanding as Virgin helpdesk these are data only, to be advised later???? I suppose this will happen once they actually start moving 3Gs iPhones, or Optus start hitting them the charges?

Cheers!

Have just talked to the iPhone group at Telstra - they say they are "working on it", but nothing is available as yet. I suggested they put an announcment
to that effect on their iPhone website www.telstra.com.au/iphone

I believe Optus are the only Australian network offering it at

MMS seems to be available across the 3 major networks though.

I'm with Optus. The Tethering Setting is in the Network section of
Settings under General.  There is a button 2/3 the way down the
screen labelled "Set Up Internet Tethering". When you choose it, a
message appears: "To enable tethering on this account, contact
OPTUS". I read somewhere last night that this is going to cost $15
per 500 Meg. Compared with the cost of a USB Dongle this might not
be too bad, especially since the only place I'm really likely to use
it will probably be at WAMUG Meetings...

It will be worth the first $15 to see how it works.



As a follow up, I have just read in an email from Optus that official pricing and terms will be available from 22 June. Account holders will
be able to turn on tethering from within their account settings, as
long as they have iPhone 3.0 installed. Again, available from 22 June.
