According to Telstra, customers can activate tethering through an update to their settings, which is available through iTunes. There is no charge for activating this feature; however, ongoing usage rates apply if you use this service.

“Data used when tethering is charged at either a ‘Pay as you go’ rate or as part of a Browsing Pack. To assist in managing costs Telstra recommends that customers who plan to use this feature add a browsing pack which provides a set amount of data each month for a monthly fee. If customers use more than their pack amount per month, they will pay for the extra browsing at a reduced rate,” says Telstra.

The Mobile as Modem Browsing Pack ranges from a 1GB plan up to a 9GB plan. For more information, visit www.telstra.com.au/mobile/browsing_packs.html
