Well that’s just plain weird.
I remember when the iPhone 3.0 OS came out that Fido had mentioned tethering would be enabled. I tried it back then only to find some message telling me on the actual iPhone that I would need to contact Fido.
After some research I found a page clearly describing that I would need a higher MB package. At the time of signing up I was on a 500MB/month data plan. In order to tether I would need a 1GB/month plan. I was fine with that, and didn’t worry too much. One less toy/tech to worry about.
While reviewing my Fido bill online this evening, I saw that I had a usage maximum of 1GB/month of data. Somehow I was upgraded and no one told me. Not believing this good fortune (as my monthly charges have not increased since I signed up), I tried to tether with my iPhone, and it worked! Hurrah.
I have to investigate when/why my data plan was changed without my knowledge, unless it was some grandfathering that happened. In the mean time, just for kicks, I posted this very text while tethered.
Isn’t technology grand? :)
