It's an unlocked verizon iPhone provided by my job. Investment = 0$. If the carrier can't tether the option is disabled. That feature is baked into the os.
I am not interested in a foss vs closed discussion. My droidX and droid2 global also have the same feature. And from my visit here last year I already know I can't tether with orange and my droid2 global built in tether app. I am not interest in jail breaking or rooting my phones. It usually leaves me with an unstable device that misbehaves at the most akward moments. (like in the middle of a demonstration of global VoIP server for a potential client last year) It was a simple question I asked at 11p since I couldn't start roaming Kampala streets testing out sim cards on a Sunday night. But now that it's Monday morning I guess I'll begin my mission.
