Tethering your iPhone

Tethering

You can tether your pay monthly iPhone to a PC or Mac using a USB cable - or wirelessly via Bluetooth. Then just use your data allowance to access the internet. For more information, please see our data costs. For tethering to work properly, you may have to change some of your iPhone's settings or upgrade its software.

Getting your iPhone ready for tethering

How tethering works on your iPhone

Tethering is charged separately from the 1GB of mobile internet use that you get as part of your pay monthly price plan. As soon as you tether your laptop or netbook to the internet, you'll pay £5 for 500MB that lasts for 30 days. Use more than 500MB in that time and you'll pay £5 for each extra 500MB.

Access via the phone packs

If you think you'll regularly use more than 500MB a month while tethering with your iPhone, get one of our great value Access via the phone packs: £10 a month for 1.5GB £15 a month for 3GB.

These packs aren't for making calls over the internet or sharing data files - and if you go over your limit, you'll pay £5 for each extra 500MB. To add an Access via the phone pack to your pay monthly price plan, call 191 from your iPhone - or visit your nearest Vodafone store.
