Thanks Ronni

I have also used the iPhone personal hotspot from time to time without a 
problem but most of the time I log into friends & relies WiFi systems.  I have 
a Telstra pre paid and with the bonuses that comes with it I have never been 
able to use it up in-spite of the fact that we never use the house phone for 
any out going calls.

Seeing that the iPad 2 has been out for a fair while now I am wondering just 
when the next model is likely to appear.  Its usually my luck to by something 
and have it superseded in a couple of weeks.


Regards,


Adrian
