[Wolves] Ubuntu-Iphone...

[Peter Evans]

Yes I'm top posting, I blame my iPhone. According to the iPhone user  
guide tethering is possible with a 3G model and later.

Sorry if I have my names mixed up, but are you in the UK? I seem to  
remember you're from Mexico and coming here to study soon? (I'm not at  
my main email to check my facts on this)

If you're not in the UK then whether you can actually tether will  
depend if it's a service offered by your local carrier.
