Use iPhone as modem

At Telstra, data plans cost the same whether you use a secondary device (such as a USB dongle) or your phone to access the internet. Some of you may have noticed high data usage when using your phone initially, but this is only because your data plan with Telstra is pro-rata. The advantage of not using a USB dongle with Telstra post-paid plans is that you don’t get locked into a 24-month contract. Monthly access data prices with Telstra are always changing, but at present they are:

$5	$10	$20	$29	$39	$69
30MB/MTH	1GB/MTH	2GB/MTH	3GB/MTH	5GB/MTH	12GB/MTH
Excess: $0.25 p/MB	Excess: $0.25 p/MB	Excess: $0.25 p/MB	Excess: $0.15 p/MB	Excess: $0.10 p/MB	Excess: $0.05 p/MB

You can change the plan from month to month and there’s no lock in contract. In order to use your iPhone as modem (this is called tethering), you will need to follow this tutorial:
