Easily Enable Tethering on 3.0 via iPhone Safari!

[duckyman]

just out of curiosity,
why doesnt someone just log into their at&t account to see if there is any extra charges.
(the at&t online accounts are usually pretty up to date..)

i'm on 02uk and at the moment i think this trick is bypassing the system. i keep checking my usage but nothing is as yet showing.

So your usage in settings the recived date is not increasing?

on my phone? not sure. did not check before and after.
i have looked at my 02 on the web and nothing is registering there, but it takes a few hours to update anyway. i'm not going to spend hours tethering just in case i get stung by them.

Don't know if it's relevant here, but I was having problems with Visual Voicemail after applying one of these carrier profiles. Turned out, the profile wacked my visual voicemail APN, which is actually different than the Cellular Data or MMS APN. For AT&T, change that APN to acds.voicemail with a blank username and password, and you'll restore your visual voicemail.

Hope this helps someone.

I don't even want to risk it because I am not the bill payer. 02 could also make you pay more money because its not legit.

so once you were paired did you go to the bluetooth menu in the finder drop down menu and connect through devices?

Thanks for helping me out on this. Yes I did. I also tried pressing connect on my phone and neither work. I get an error message when trying to connect through the drop down menu. Don't remember what it says off the top of my head. Will try it again.

Guys,

If youre not on a computer with Itunes this is not going to work.

haha this thing worked perfectly easiest thing ive ever done. it runs fast as hell on the net and im just curious now if im gonna get charged for my 5 minutes of childs play just because i wanted to teather lol oh well worth it. reading here ive seen you guys discussing it and ovb no one has an answer. just release the jailbreak so we dont have to do illegal things anymore more!

[macfan4life]

Man this is freaking awesome. I am on AT&T and it works great for me!! I am tethering my iPhone to write this post now.

Not true. I was able to get it to work on an XP machine via bluetooth that doesn't have itunes on it.

Works very well, sweet. But how long until AT&T finds out! It's super easy too.

This is fantastic, but has anyone figured out MMS yet? I tried to upgrade using the bundle, but it is grayed out and I can't select it. Any suggestions?

this is prob b/c you dl'd from safari. try firefox.

i got this to work just fine but i am concerned about if there's going to be charges to my bill. has anyone confirmed if this is free at the moment or does it actually cost something?

[kre8iv1]

as of right now (11:36pm, Thursday June 18,2009 - day AFTER 3.0 released) it says "To enable tethering on this account, contact AT&T". I hit OK, then switched it to on, and it works.

I am shocked that this works. (I am very happy that it does. Thank you!) AT&T can bite me for charging me an extra $30 for this. I already pay an extra $20 for unlimited data just because I have an IPhone.

[kre8iv1]

U r lucky to ONLY pay $20/mo unlimited data for iPhone. We pay $30/mo. Glad my post helped. I'll have to see if I rack up any additional chgs.

[Lithowa]

I pay $30 too. I was just saying +$20 because it is $10 for unlimited data for any other phones (maybe not BB (I don't know for sure))

People altering there phones and not knowing how to make it work is like someone loading a gun and not knowing how to shoot

According to this UK article benm.at actually hacks ATT's tethering to give it to you for free. Please read the article. I guess all you have to do to get tethering for free is unlock it. Which is what we did!
