iPhone To Be Tetherable Soon? Infamous unconfirmed Steve Jobs e-mail declares so For those of you bored stiff of iPhone stories (who can blame you), please stop reading here, and instead check out this story about the Blackberry Bold being available via AT&T by October 2. Or this one about T-Mobile offering EeePC's with embedded 3G. For those still with us, it appears that one of the iPhone's biggest shortcomings (no, not the inability to cut and paste, the inability to send MMS or the fairly mediocre 2 megapixel camera) is about to be fixed. While the iPhone now supports 3G, it originally could not be tethered and used as a modem, something that may be getting fixed shortly. So far the only evidence of this comes from one of those random, but often accurate Steve Jobs e-mails to Apple fans. Neither Apple or AT&T have confirmed the move.

Valencia, CA | Re: autocorrect What's the point of having a 3G phone if you can't tether.
Also, paying the big $$$ for iPhone data plan on a 2 year commitment should allow this anyways.
I've tethered on my PoS Samsung ZX-20 on the $15 media max package w/o issue.

Oklahoma City, OK | Re: autocorrect Yeah, I'm using Netshare with fantastic results. Jailbreak is a winner. IMO

London, ON | The battery life is pretty bad when you tether. But if you had a plug somewhere then it wouldn't really be a problem. It can come in handy once in a while though, that's why I bought the Netshare app when it popped back up the second time. | |

Valencia, CA | Re: autocorrect I've been able to do it through AT&T Wireless connection manager on my Samsung ZX-20 throught tethered and bluetooth connections.
Maxed 1.2Mbps down, 360 kbps up. Latency was 120-240ms.

Those of you who are bragging about getting tethering for free on your WinMo phones should check your Terms of Service and perhaps pipe down. All recent ToS say you have to buy a tethering plan to tether. A few years ago, AT&T was in sort of a don't ask, don't tell mode about tethering. Now, they have tethering plans for just about all phone except the iPhone. Just because you can do it doesn't mean you're not violating your ToS. I may not agree with AT&T's policies, but if I violate their ToS, they have the right to kick me off.

Hingham, MA | It's an excellent point, but I'm curious- are there other providers on Earth with WinMo phones whose names are NOT at&t? I'm just curious. | |

| Re: Terms of Service Mine has a stipulation about tethering too, but I don't care, I have turned off their ability to monitor in every way on my phone, besides the provider side looking into usage. My phone is setup to make the traffic appear to be going to the cell phone, the phone acts like a router. There is a file reference in the registry, along with some other keys too, and once they are changed, my unlimited data plan for the phone is technically all I am using. So I'm not worried. Hell, I am typing this on that phone as we speak, and my other computer is connected to the internet through a spare prepaid phone the same way. I have been running this way for over a year, and I frequently download movies using the connections. Some phones are better at masking than others. You might want to get a Mogul from Sprint, or a Verizon VX8300. The VX8300 is hackable using QPST, and the Mogul you use Resco Regedit. A simple Google search will provide you with the rest of the info you need. But you will need your MSL code, and I was able to get mine simply by asking. They didn't seem too concerned, hehe.

Just as I do the person who wrote the article isnt so sure about the iphone part | |
