Vodafone Australia offers free tethering to iPhone 3G S subscribers

www.WirelessFederation.com/news: Vodafone Australia is reportedly offering free tethering with the new iPhone 3G S. Vodafone’s move is an attempt to get ahead in the ongoing competition among Australian mobile operators.
The 16GB version will be available for free to those who sign up for their $69/month plan for 2 years, which includes $400 of calls and 1GB of data. The 32GB model will also be free for those signing up for a $114 per month plan with unlimited calls and 2GB of data.

Tethering will be enabled for all iPhone subscribers at no extra charge, but Vodafone will be offering the ability to add on an extra 1GB for $24.95 or 2GB for $29.95 in case they run out, starting August 2009.

Until that time any customer who wishes to try the new tethering service can do so using the data allowance included on their plan,” according to Vodafone.
