Worked for a split second at the airport but never again. It sucks because I hav. A few offline maps that I can't use location services on because they rely on part on wifi or cell signals to get an initial fix. Others in my group have nonhacked iPhones and their's work fine.

I too am kind of concerned about billing. Thank you Matt for letting us know there were no unusual charges... I hope it stays this way when tethering is officially released.

Have sent and received from people on AT&T and Verizon with no issues.

However.. the tethering option appears in my settings menu. When I enable it and connect to my PC it works for about 3 minutes then the connection drops and the tethering option disappears from the settings menu. If I re-load the carrier file from benm.at it comes back, but just disappears after a few minutes again.. anyone else experiencing this?

That is odd. I know if you plug an iPhone into Windows without iTunes installed, the correct drivers aren't installed. I'm not sure if Vista and Windows 7 come with the correct drivers, I just ASSumed that since the iPhone in tethering mode was automatically picked up and installed as a "Apple Mobile Device Ethernet" -- and the driver was provided by Apple on 4/30/2009 (netappl64.sys), that iTunes installed it.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22615793 Fri, 26 Jun 2009 14:00:53 EDT Re: Easy iPhone tethering for AT&T users http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22614847 Midak : 8.2 is installed on the iMac (not working) and on the PC (XP) that is working.

*Edit* Ok, to further add to the madness, I tried it out on another PC and it did not recognize it as a ethernet connection. I believe my iMac and PC laptop to be up to date so why is it picking and choosing which computer it works with or is it something that needs to be installed on these computers to get this to work.

If Bluetooth, make sure you've paired your iPhone with your iMac. Then, from the BT menu, go down to your iPhone, and from the submenu select "Connect to iPhone." Once this is completed, your iPhone should indicate that internet tethering is turned on.

Whether or not you get an IP on the computer side depends on whether or not you're in 3G range or not.

How's the battery life? I was one of the lucky to grab NetShare, but it will totally drain the battery dead in about 75 minutes unless plugged into AC. May consider the hack if the life is better.
I did it over USB so the battery doesn't drain.
Even when plugged into USB NetShare will still drain the battery quickly, so I guess the battery drain is significantly less.

I am digging into the carrier settings file trying to fix the VM bug so people don't have to manually change settings. I see there are several items under SupportedSIMs that probably indicate different AT&T sims. I'm wondering if one could edit that list to unlock the phone.

Anyway, if you rename the IPCC file to .zip, you can then double click it to unzip it and get a .bundle file. Open that up and you get to a carrier.plist file. Under apns, #1 is wap.cingular, whereas #3 is acds.voicemail. Fixing the bug may entail switching the two around.

That enabled tethering, but not the screens for MMS. I believe you still need the updated IPCC file for that which will enable both anyway.
I'm sure you're right, and I need to clarify that I had already installed the IPCC file. I was then able to get and add the MMS settings from the help.benm.at site, which enabled MMS.

Since ATT doesn't plan on charging extra for MMS, it's less likely they will come down hard on it's 'unofficial' use. But they just might consider the tethering a theft of service. A ridiculous thought, but this is ATT.

For MMS, they are as follows:

wap.cingular
wap@cingulargprs.com
CINGULAR1
mmsc.cingular.com
66.209.11.32

I've heard whether they work or not is hit and miss. I haven't tried them myself but may play with it later today. My girl would LOVE to have MMS again.

Nope, those settings don't work for me. I guess I fall into the "miss" category.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22571083 Thu, 18 Jun 2009 09:37:46 EDT Re: Easy iPhone tethering for AT&T users http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22571055 Matt :

Odd. I've pulled near 2 Mbit's on 3G and around 9 Mbit's on WiFi. It just depends on where I am at and how decent the WiFi is.

I don't think the OP's top post link enables MMS, only tethering, and no MMSC & proxy settings are required.

It's certainly the case for me- tethering works, but no mms with the camera icon in the message app UI. Correct me if someone has it working.

The only reason AT&T is holding off on letting us US customers officially have it is because they're trying to figure out a pricing scheme (and I should emphasize "scheme") for the product. That, and they are absolutely terrified we're going to destroy their network with such easy access through iPhones.

Is there a way to really check your data usage on an unlimited plan? My account won't let me log in right now for some reason.

The only thing is that I don't live in a neighborhood that has good 3G reception and it seems you need to have a 3G signal for it to work. As it stands, through Bluetooth, both the computer and the iPhone will acknowledge the connection.

Can't wait to try this out somewhere with 3G. I'm only going to use it cautiously - don't want to get hit with AT&T's BS data charges.
