Simple Hack to Enable Tethering on iPhone OS 3.0
Simple Hack to Enable Tethering on iPhone OS 3.0
The non-availability of tethering and MMS features in the U.S at the time of the launch of iPhone OS 3.0 was probably the most disappointing news that was announced at the WWDC 2009 Keynote address. However, some clever folks have figured out a way to enable tethering on iPhone OS...

Been using it since early yesterday afternoon. Works great! I wouldn't mind paying for it at all. I would pay for anything provided that Apple and AT&T gave us the ability to do so. The fact is, hackers have been giving us things for free cause legally they can't charge for it. I think if you can afford an iPhone you should be able to afford all the other things they may charge for. However, when they do not provide these things, I'll have to get them for free. Their loss really. I realize I've rambled on uselessly when the bottom line is, YES this works and it works better than anything else so far. Now we just need mms ;)

Oh, and I forgot to mention... Hackers have to give us the stuff for FREE so be sure to DONATE.. Plenty and OFTEN. These guys are the reason you don't throw that BRICK of a phone into a wall.

Is this only for iPhone 3g? I have 3.0 on my first gen iPhone and installed the profile settings and followed all the steps. But when I go to general>networks, I don't see anything that says Internet tethering. I updated to 3.0 from iTunes and how do I get the battery percentage, I don't see that either :(. Thanks
-
wow. serious. awesome. mad props!!!!!
-
Does tethering cost money?
-
do you people not read the entire article before posting

theres always pdanet, u need to go into sbssettings and enable ur battery percentage,steps are sbsetting, then more, then extras & options, then toggle on Numeric battery and ur done if the battery doesnt show a number click on the battery and it will change to a number
-
how do we know AT&T won't detect the usage and charge you?
-
good question!
-
lol that is too cool! Thanx for sharing iPhoneHacks. I know our data plans are unlimited but I just hope hacks like this don't ruin it for everyone.
-
It should not matter to AT&T how we use our network if we are under a contract for unlimited data and are in fact paying for it. It's the future of unlimited data plans that has me worried.
-
Its soo bad it dosent work on iphone 1g sucks
-
As wolverinemarky rightly pointed out jailbreak apps like Pdanet already enabled users to use iPhone's data connection so this isn't something new just that this method does not need users to jailbreak their iPhone.
-
Works Great!!! This is the best Iphone site ever!!!!!! Thanks guys for everything
-
I wonder if this will finally enable me to connect to my tomtom for plus services!? Thanks
-
This is so awsome! Hope that AT&T doesn't do anything about this and now there needs to be a hack to enable MMS like this
-
Sorry but I couldn't get it to work on my 3G 16G with 3.0 installed. I was able to pair but received a message that service not offered. I don't have MMS, does that make a difference? I *need* tethering badly, how do I get this to work? (I'm in downtown SF, CA)
-
Let me add: I'm trying to tether to a new 2.53GHz 13" Mac Book Pro using the iPhone and an AT&T mobile account.
Tethering would be a Godsend for me because I'm often in places where there is no WiFi or Ethernet connections available and need to send or receive data, etc. -
Bit of a newbie in this. Can you walk me through step by step. I don't understand the sbssettings and battery percentage. Where do you find that on the 1st generation iPhone.
-
OH MY GAWD! I DID it! I forgot to shut the iPhone off and turn it back on. I am now connected to the 'Net. You have to turn WiFi off if using BlueTooth.
Amazing. Most excellent! Big kudos to those who figured this out!
WaaaHOOO!

Doesn't work in Australia for Telstra. No Tethering option is visible in Settings > General > Network. Only a profile entry is available in Settings > General - giving status of Unsigned with the option to remove.
-
Sbsettings requires a jailbreak and 3.0 isn't jailbroken yet. And I thought 3.0 had te percentage battery included in the firmware.
-
My carrier is not on the list, so i guesss it's possible to create a mobileconfig file for it, but I need the one on my iPhone to use as a guide, does enyone know how can the file be extracted from the iPhone?
Thanks!
