"...Whatever you do when downloading data - surfing the web, sending a Tweet, posting a photo - don’t hook up your iPhone to your Ipad. The data that you download is exactly the same but if you use your devices in this way, your charges will be €5 per megabyte. Thats right, despite an advertised - and mandated - price of 20 cents, a loophole in the legislation allows companies to charge 25 times the supposed maximum. At least, that’s what Vodafone charged this foolish customer on a recent trip to Europe.
When I challenged Vodafone about this they pointed to the small print of my contract. ..."
Anybody know where the small print is, what the issue is, and is it unique to VF?
The words used say "don't hook up" so is this tethering as opposed to creating a a portable wifi hotspot?
I know the former is an issue with 3 but not the latter.
Thanks
