If Giffgaff see a spike in your internet usage from using a jail break tweak they will shut down your usage and put you on a timeout style ban.

Indeed, even without a spike in usage they can tell by simple things such as browser version in their logs, safari for iPad, IE for windows etc....obvious giveaway slight_smile

Yeah if you are with GiffGaff altho they run on O2's network (and are owned by the same parent company) they are not the same.

 

They do not support tethering.

 


Not entirely true.

If you get the £10 goodybag with 1GB data included then you can tether but not with any of the unlimited data plans, though it does say it doesn't work with the iPhone so the OP is out of luck.

 

From http://giffgaff.com/goodybags/10pound-goodybag.html


Tethering is permitted on £10 goodybag and will work on all smartphones with an inbuilt tethering feature, except for the iPhone and BlackBerry.
