    Or simply go to http://help.benm.at/ and create a profile. Not sure if this works without jailbreaking, but it's super simple and only takes 2 minutes.

    Dude, it's been possible to install carrier profiles since at least 3.1. I distinctly remember downloading them from http://www.benm.at/ when I had the original iPhone (I now have a iPhone 3GS and had a 3G before then).

    Tethering on Android is quite nice, though.

  3. Re:iPhone or AT&T? by NatasRevol · · Score: 0, Flamebait · on iPhone 4 Beta Shows AT&T Tethering

    Don't need to jailbreak it. Just go here on your iPhone & select the modified AT&T profile.

    I've had tethering for a year.

  4. Re:I think that by pAnkRat · · Score: 1 · on iPhone 3.1 Update Disables Tethering

    I don't care about what people think when they see me connecting my iPhone to my Mac Book Air.
    (Yes, I have more money then I can spend until the end of the month, sowhat?)
    Back on topic: I upgraded to 3.1 but tethering is still enabled.
    I did enable it on OS 3.0 by downloading a profile here:

    http://help.benm.at/

    It just works (tm)

  5. they actually killed tethering in 3.0.1 by suteny0r · · Score: 3, Informative · on iPhone 3.1 Update Disables Tethering
    "3.0.1 ONLY fixes the SMS vulnerability... nothing else" Isn't that what we were all told?

    I noticed that the tethering functionality enabled by the profile from http://help.benm.at/tethering.php stopped working after my upgrade to 3.0.1

    The use of this profile works on even an un-jailbroken phone.

    They did it in a rather sneaky way. The UI for tethering is still there, and active. It even says 'tethered', when plugged in â" but the update causes the iPhone to ignore DHCP requests for an IP address from the external device, which then times out.

    The problem was immediately resolved by revving back to the 3.0 firmware.

    I tested both jailbroken and un-jailbroken, on both 3.0 and 3.0.1.

    3.0 tethering works, jailbreak or not, 3.0.1 tethering does NOT work, jailbreak or not.

    Shame on you Apple. If you're going to intentionally break functionality, at least be man enough not to lie about it.

  6. Re:Works for me by navyjeff · · Score: 1 · on iPhone 3.1 Update Disables Tethering

    Somebody give this post some mod points. I've got the same success with the tethering situation. My 3G iphone still works fine and I upgraded to 3.1 over the weekend. Go here to get it enabled. I haven't tried running the enabler after upgrading, so it's possible that won't work. From what I've read, it seems to be the 3GS phones that are SOL.

    That said, I might just get rid of it and go back to my old RAZR v3. I'm getting tired of jumping through hoops for functionality.

    Just for reference, you don't need to jail break to enable MMS and tethering.

    The tethering works, I think texting is a rather retarded thing since I can use email so I haven't actually used MMS but I would presume it works as well.
