i have been offered additional contract on tesco 1 month rolling with with unlimited net access, any ideas if they (tesco) allow dithering, if not which of the networks does.

and the a best/reasonable handset for dithering.

my understanding your mobile becomes a hotspot and u can use your wifi feature in your laptop and/or tablet to access the net.

as i travel alot i have no need for landline, but i am suffering as the only net access i have are in cafes and mcdonalds.

any help is appreciated.:rotfl:

    It's Tethering not Dithering


    Tesco do not allow it in the contract terms and conditions, and most of the networks charge for it. It's usually £5 a month for 500MB on most plans, but the Three One Plan and the T-Mobile Full Monty do include it in the package.

    Depending on the phone it may be easy or hard to detect, but it is detectable. Will they do anything, depends how much data you use, but worse case is they charge you data at the out of bundle rate which can be a few pounds per MB.

    ok what about the best payG for USB dongle, my understanding T-mobile give unlimited downloads for around £20 per month without contract..

    is this the cheapest or is their cheaper.

    what is th best way since i do not want fixed line contract and because when travelling abroad i do not need monthly mobile contract either.

    tesco offered 1 month rolling with 750 mins for 10 pm so worthwhile getting. is their similar (i was told giffgaff) do Tethering. or similar price to tesco with unlimited net download so i go and buy a samsung note and use it as a pad/phone.

    all advise is greatly appreciated:money:

    Three's All you can eat one plan or T-mobile Full Monty are the only ones that do unlimited internet, the others are limited to 500mb or 1GB.

    Giffgaff do tethering at £5 a month but as I don't use them I'm not sure if you can have a Data pack and Minutes pack running at the same time I think you have to choose data or minutes pack but not both concurently so if you have data minutes are charged like PAYG, or vice versa.

    There is no best way jsut whats best for you, Giff Gaff are cheaper but there support is very limited, Vodafone are more expensive but generally have the better network coverage,but if you going to be in a place where there is no Vodafone coverage you may need to pick someone else who will have signal.

    Whats best for you is not whats best for someone else.
