Hi Effendi,
Thank you for your info on whether I can tether my laptop and iPad to my iPhone's SIM card using Apple's Personal Hotspot feature. Your link to various mobile providers' data/call plans was very helpful.

I also posted my query on the blog of a travel journalist who often visits Italy and comments on mobile phone useage. As this could be of interest to readers of this forum, I've posted the link to his reply below.

Apparently TIM SIM cards for mobile phones DO allow tethering other devices.

If all else fails I guess I can buy a separate data package for my laptop using a USB dongle or buy a portable MiFi device with a separate SIM and separate data plan, however I am trying to avoid all that by just using my iPhone's SIM card to tether other devices, just as I can do with my Call/data plan in Sydney.

Thanks again,
Matie000
