Including information about whether a network allows tethering or not is a great idea. We’ll definitely be looking into this and how to inform you in the best way possible.

They are techinically PAYG – so we dont’ include them currently. However, we are aware that it works similar to contract payments and are looking into how we might include them in future.

My average use:
129min, 104 txt & 270mb data, plus £3.10 in premium calls.Billmonitor recommendeds O2 simplicity:
300min, unlim txt & 500mb data - £16.50pm - 12 month contractBut GiffGaff goodybag:
250min, unlim txt & unlim data - £10pm - 1 monthCalling premium numbers varies, but isn't always more expensive on GiffGaff.
MMS and going over your tarrif & calling mobiles or landlines is cheaper.
Roaming is cheaper for short calls (<3 min), although data roming is more expensive (assuming "O2 travel").The main difference is that on GiffGaff you have to top up before using a service that your tariff doesn't cover... for me this is a positive thing as I won't be able to call a premium number by accident!
"why should it mater what the originating device is?"
Because laptops are likely to use more data than a mobile, eg downloading programs or running online games. Operators want to keep usage down because otherwise they'd have to improve their infrastructure (ie spend money).
So, even if you've bought a data allowance, they don't want you to actually use it!
