Updated way to enable tethering:

Simple! Just go to this website on your phone.  http://help.benm.at/help.php

1. Click on mobileconfigs.
2. Select your Country.
3. Select your carrier.
4. It will ask you if you want to install.
5. Click install.
6. Enjoy your tethering via Settings > General > Network > Internet Tethering

Old way to enable tethering:

iPhone 3.0 is live! So I am going to repost the tethering tutorial. Now there is no need to download anything (aside from the carrier file). Seems you can just run a little command in terminal (Make sure you are on OS 3.0 on a 3G iPhone and iTunes 8.2):

So open up terminal and type:

defaults write com.apple.iTunes carrier-testing -bool TRUE

After that, the steps become a lot more simple.

1. Download this file (for AT&T) and mount the disk image (thanks Gizmodo) for other carriers, try here.

2. Option-click on “restore” in your iTunes with your iPhone attached. Browse to the opened disk image file and hit OK. It will update phone settings for a few seconds.

3. You have tethering. Now go into your iPhone/settings/general/network/Internet Tethering and turn it on.

Boom – 3 steps to tethering…

As a side note is highly recommended that you not use this as your primary internet service. Please if anything try to stay under 5GB’s of transfer per month to avoid service termination.

SO AT&T has some really cool phones that are going to make AT&T an even better choice for all the consumers out in the world looking to get a new cell.

One of the more notable devices coming to AT&T’s line up is the HTC Fuze. This is the “replacement” phone for the AT&T Tilt and not only that has features that kick any other smart phone in the rear end.

Bellow are the launch dates for future AT&T devices:

HTC Fuze will launch on October 23nd

Motorola V9x (new V9 with GPS) launches on October 2nd

Samsung Mirage i907 (basically our version of the Omnia) launches on October 21st

Pantech C740 in red, navy, and green launches on October 14th

Nokia 6650 launches in red and silver on October 23rd

BlackBerry 8320 in that totally cool color launches on October 21st

BlackBerry Pearl in pink launches on October 2nd

The BlackBerry Curve in “burnt orange” is pushed to “2009″.

The regular BlackBerry Curve is discontinued

The Palm Treo 680s are discontinue

Notice: The date’s above have not been confirmed but we highly suspect that the are close to the actual launch date’s.

So in todays day and age the internet is becoming more and more part of out everyday lives correct? Well in my case yes! So on thursday May 29th HiWEB-Interactive over at hiweb.net and I were talking about AT&T and where they plan to be with there data network in 4 years. I learned tons about some very interesting wireless technologies and here is a breakdown of the current and future wireless data technologies at their best!

Sprint and Verizon :
EV-DO Rev. A – 1.5- 3.1 Mbps download max! This means that Rev. A is only going to see these speeds that is it nothing more they are done.

Sprint and Verizon are investing in WiMax that will deliver 50Mbps to the end user by the year 2015.

AT&T :
UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA – 1.4 – 20Mbps! This current wireless technology is already in use in more major cities that AT&T is servicing! WOW 20Mbps. Well you might be saying why are we not seeing these speeds? It is because currently the overhead of the AT&T network is too high therefore we are only going to see 1.4.

AT&T plans on releasing HSPA that will bring the wireless devices closer to the 20Mbps by late 2009 and plans to have a full blown LTE (long term evolution) network set up by the end of 2012 bring 100Mbps data transfer speeds per handheld on the AT&T wireless network. So if you have a phone with AT&T keep it they are the leaders in the future of wireless voice and data coverage.

When I first made this post the hack was found for one of the earlier betas. While I was snooping around I found a few hacks that could enable you to install and get tethering working on the GM Seed version of the iPhone 3.0 OS. Please note that if you upgraded from beta 3-4 and did the hack in beta three then upgraded to the GM Seed tethering should still be enabled. If you did a full restore please follow the instructions below.

By following these instructions you will regain the ability to edit and add custom ipcc carrier files to your iPhone 3.0 running the GM Seed or the 5.0 Beta.

First I want to point out that I am not responsible for any damages and that you do this hack at your own risk.

1. If you have installed iTunes 8.2 please remove it and install an older version.

2. Download and Install the first beta of the iTunes 8.2 pre release.

• The download link for the iTunes pre release will be posted soon.

3. Download and install the att 5.0 ipcc

4. Install the .ipcc file onto the phone by opening iTunes and clicking the upgrade button while holding down the command key on mac or the shift key in windows.

5. Reboot the phone and you can now navigate to Settings > General > Network > Internet Tethering

VOILA! Just make sure that you do not go over 5GB of data transfer a month or you could risk att terminating your service
