Hi Folks,

Just noticed that my iPad, which shares data from my iPhone, is not accessing the internet over here in Brisbane. The iPhone is working just fine on both Telstra and Optus. Roaming is turned on and the APN is set to 'internet' for both data and tethering.

I thought perhaps that tethering might work, but Telstra apparently won't allow me to tether my iPad to my iPhone. Optus unceremoniously dumps me completely off the network when I attemot to tether, only allowing me to make SOS calls.

Is this how overseas roaming on shared data is supposed to work?

David.

PS: Please don't post the obvious solutions of buying a local SIM or using Wifi. I'm not trying to solve a problem, just trying to find out how 2degrees shared data roaming works.
