Chris - I know you've always said you can do that, and so can John Gallagher 
on T-Mobile, but I haven't been able to[also on T-Mobile] and that's why I 
researched it, and reported here what the different providers told me. 
Certainly, if you look at your simplicity contract with O2, there's no 
mention there of being able to use your phone as a modem, and I'm sure 
they'd mention this if it was meant to be the case! So, lucky you! -
