      @ceruleanspark So basically normal data rates apply? Mine wanted me to pay my carrier a service fee on top of the data fee in order to use what's built into the OS

        @lulu Yeah. Thats your carriers choice. The "off brand" tethering solutions typically avoid that by cloaking your traffic to hide the fact you're using a tether.

          @ceruleanspark Ah ok. So if your carrier wants to make you pay more on an iPhone, is using the "off brand" still a solution rather than the OS's default?

            @lulu I think carriers have wised up to a lot of the jailbreak tether techniques now, but I'm not certain.

              @ceruleanspark I see. Well I suppose as long as there's no need for me to circumvent my carrier's extra fee and us my phone as a mobile hot spot, then iOS has the same functionality as android... Oh no wait.. Can iPhones download Youtube videos?

                  @ceruleanspark oh nice! The Google Play store won't allow us to download a fully functioning Youtube downloader as far as I can tell, so I had to go to the Amazon app store.

                    @lulu If you want to download youtube videos on your Computer I highly recommend http://youtube-dl.org/ It can also download from a lot of other video sites. I use it every day.

                          @broniebrown Oh nice! My network blocks dailymotion, but I might be able to get it on my work connection still.

                            @lulu Using youtube-dl is fairly easy altough it is a terminal program. "youtube-dl videourl" downloads the video in its highest resolution. If you want to check out which resolutions are available for that video you need to type "youtube-dl -F videourl". Then you just type "youtube-dl -f videoformat videourl". An example for youtube: "youtube-dl -f 18 -t http://ur1.ca/gljr1 " (-t is an option to use the video's title as file name, especially on youtube the default file name is just the youtube-id).

                              @broniebrown oh cool. Will it run in Windows terminal or linux or both?

                                @lulu The site has a version for both systems. There is a simple exe for windows but on Linux you need python installed but that's not a big problem.
