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.

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?

8.2 is installed on the iMac (not working) and on the PC (XP) that is working. The other two do not have iTunes. I thought you only needed iTunes to get tethering unlocked on the phone?
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/Re-Easy-iPhone-tethering-for-ATT-users-22615793 Fri, 26 Jun 2009 14:00:53 EDT Re: Easy iPhone tethering for AT&T users http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Easy-iPhone-tethering-for-ATT-users-22614847 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Easy-iPhone-tethering-for-ATT-users-22614847 Fri, 26 Jun 2009 11:52:18 EDT Re: Easy iPhone tethering for AT&T users http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Easy-iPhone-tethering-for-ATT-users-22614670 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Easy-iPhone-tethering-for-ATT-users-22614670 Fri, 26 Jun 2009 11:25:00 EDT Re: Easy iPhone tethering for AT&T users http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Easy-iPhone-tethering-for-ATT-users-22613782
*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. Does anyone have an answer?

Side note - the one PC it worked on, I got almost 1MB download speed, and just shy of 400KB upload with 5 bars of 3G.

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.

This is a rhetorical question - isn't the USB connection supposed to be charging the iPhone in any case?
My guess was that USB provides lower power than the wall connection, and fullpower wifi+3G drains the power faster than it can charge.

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.
