How to Enable Tethering in iPhone OS 3.0

For the moment it IS possible for this to work on AT&T. I found more information about it here, along with a link to download the working AT&T bundle.

If you ask me, that's a no-brainer there.

Yah, if you are not a AT&T customer and always have 3G access where ever you are.

But, I do agree - I still like free! Hope they get it working for the non-3G access!

Awesome guide thanks Mr STS

. FWIW my wap dictionary was:

apn=www.iphone-vodafone.co.nz
password=
username=

Oh and

(c) Add a new pair at the top level dictionary of the carrier.plist file. (We're not sure this is strictly speaking necessary but go ahead and do it.):
AllowEDGEEditing = (BOOLEAN) YES

was already there

I just tried that IPCC and I just keep getting this error message:

Bluetooth network failed.

Failed to open a connection to the network service.
Your device may have reached its maximum number
of supported network connections.

And the USB tether appears to do nothing. It doesn't show up in Network Preferences and I have no option to add a USB network interface or anything.

Apple Developer Connection

They provide a lot of resources for people who want to develop. You can ge the SDKs for free when they are released, but can't sell on AppStore, or you can Pay the $99+ dollars to register, and release on AppStore, and have access to the betas.

which tool would you use? xcode?

It is the ability to use the internet from your phone on a computer. So wherever your phone has coverage you can have internet on your laptop

**MetallicaFan1991** · 03-19-2009, 05:55 PM

Soon you won't need to carry a laptop as the iPhone will be capable of most stuff you can do on a laptop, I hope the iPhone will be anyway

**zozodouce** · 03-19-2009, 06:16 PM

can someone please tell why apple think that they needed AT&T.when they could have made the iphone unlock and sell more phones.

God Knows ATT is sooo going to charge a arm and a leg for Tethering.I'm happy there finally allowing Tethering, but i hope it will be a decent price and not something that's going to hurt our pockets.

**ian_frs** · 03-19-2009, 08:17 PM

I got it to work with ATT but when I did I was no longer able to get voice mail or MMS. Anyone else having the same issue?

**J_B** · 03-19-2009, 08:30 PM

I had no BT connection (same as someone else) but never had MMS appearing as it is shown elsewhere. Odd given the network here definitely supports 'PXT'

Is MMS controlled via the same bundle then?

**lillewis51** · 03-19-2009, 08:30 PM

hey why is the sms icon different?

**StealthBravo** · 03-19-2009, 09:06 PM

because now it is for texting both sms and mms

How did you get MMS to work with the 3.0 Beta? Mine tries to send and I get an error message and asks if I want to retry. Do I need to change my plan with AT&T. Sorry if this is the wrong forum.

call at&t and tell them to add the service to your package
