Who knows? Still wondering why I'm only on 4.4 AFTER the update was applied. Feeling inadequate!
Perhaps it depends on your iPhone model and / or type of O2 contract?
I've got a 3G on standard monthly iPhone plan.
3.0.1
I'm thinking its meant to either block tethering hacks or update APN settings or something
To tell you the truth, I can't find them myself. It says somewhere on a list somewhere, but maybe it's been deleted due to NDA.
Yup hence my question, the stock checker says come back at 9pm, when I want to be in the store at 5pm!
Cheers,

So, BT have messed up and cancelled my broadband in to the house. I really need web access tonight to do some work via my laptop. Is there any way to enable tethering on an un-jailbroken O2 handset without paying the fees, or do i just have to buy a tethering bolt-on and suck up the charges like a man?
Thanks.
Thanks.
Nope enable it for free man:

Takes about 1 minute..very very easy.
If you want a hand PM me...
What do you guys do when taking your iPhone aboard? Just use a WiFi connection, and just text people?

Make sure you switch off data roaming otherwise you could rack up massive charges without realising it.
Texting is a good idea. Check with O2 but I think that you can use your allowance and each text counts as two. Seems fair enough to me.
Incoming texts are free of course.

Totally. Don't use your iPhone's texting client though, you'll get charged a fortune for sending texts while you're roaming. Use FishText over WiFi instead.
You 100% on that? Would just liek to confirm really. Ive got no idea, but you seem pretty sure thanks
ah cool, didnt even know about this fish text the best app to use for this?
True... but would you rather pay £1.10 to send 10 texts while you're roaming, or 20p? It's still a massive saving if you text a lot.
Yup, its off. So even with it on and if you dont use it you still get charged?
I was hoping O2 would follow suit with vodafones charging policy aboard-but they havent
Well at least ive not heard anything?

I'm not a heavy texter so when I'm abroad, the 4 texts per text from my standard allowance usually covers my needs. And of course you need wi-fi for your suggestion which limits it's usage.
