A few tips over the weekend that Telstra iPhone customers are now able to tether their Apple handsets to use as a wireless modem. At this stage there’s no extra charge, although you’ll need to be very mindful of your included data allowance, as tethering is a surefire way to burn through that 150MB if you’re on a smaller plan.
