Using iPhone as a "dongle"

Probably very boring if you already know how to do this sort of thing. This is in case I forget now I worked out what to do:

You have to follow the instructions on the apple site here, which includes loading iTunes onto your laptop if you haven't got it loaded already.

Then you set tethering up on the iPhone using settings>general>network>internet tethering (slide from off to on)

Then you go to the laptop and enable the connection via settings>control panel>network connections

Now I know how to do it I think it will take about a minute to get this working anytime anywhere

We do not have unlimited iPhone data on the University Vodafone contract at moment - it's £10.50 for line rental which includes 1GB of data then after that its £4 for every 500 MB. That's You can check how much you've used by going to the iPhone settings>general>usage
