imageiPhoneModem Brings 3G/EDGE Tethering for iPhone

One of the features missing from the 1st gen iPhone and iPhone 3G is the ability to tether the iPhone to feed a data connection to your computer to surf the internet. It would have been a treat if it was possible on iPhone 3G. We have already seen Nullriver's...

    Works great with 3G. Surprisingly fast!! The only problem I see is that only web browsers are able to access the internet. You can't use instant messenger clients, Mail, or the itunes store. Hopefully there will be a workaround in the near future. Other than that, its EXTREMELY easy to use!! Nice job!!

    It would be nice if you would post a link to an alternative application rather than just saying "use google". Furthermore, iPhoneModem might be old news to you, but I hadn't heard of it yet. So, thank you iPhoneHacks.

    This is not true about only working for internet, open ichat and select Server Settings - choose the connect with proxy check box... leave "use system pref" checked...and ichat is online. Repeat with other apps that don't work.

    make sure to undo after done tethering. Also if you have no regular net after iphonemodem, check osx's network location setting... i had to swap it back to Normal.


    Your welcome.

    Works a treat for me. With the minimum of fuss, which is what you need when mobile in my opinion. If you have a geniune carrier package the data is included. Making sure they don't find out your using it is the key. No movie downloads etc.or excessive threads open. Just casual browsing and chat etc. I've used it a lot and only used 2 gb of data in I month. Fair usage into account that is way within my allowance. I was using net share. Which is also great, but a little tempremental. Now the trial as run out on that I may purchase iPhonemodem2. $9.99 is a great price.

    Tried and failed using Windows XP with Bootcamp on my 2.4 Ghz Macbook Pro; until my Avast antivirus prompted if I wanted it to stop blocking iPhonemodem. I am typing this now using iPhonemodem on my Macbook Pro with Windows in Bootcamp!

    Need help
    The trial version worked fine after it run out bought the app and it refuse to work again, it keeps telling me (waiting for iphone) and will nor connect. Support sucks no one has answered countless emails that i've sent. Thing twice before buying apps without phone support, EVEN IF IT FOR $10.00.

    Same problem as Ron, but it is the iPhone that wants the laptop to open iPhoneModem. Let me know if and how you fix it!

    Also knackered the Wifi on the laptop, and won't connect to our wireless home network - everything else does! HELP!!!

    It appears that this is the only place where people are bringing up iphonemodem2 on the internet. Even the builder's website doesn't have a discussion forum where people can help troubleshoot.

    Sime, I think I had the same problem as you. When I loaded iphone modem on my iphone & pc, it changed my lan settings in Internet Explorer. I couldn't get on the internet until I disabled this proxy setting. Tools>Internet Options>Connections>Lan Settings.

    I purchased iphonemodem2 and I am having trouble getting internet access. I...
    1) Opened IPM2 on my notebook (it sets up a wifi network).
    2) Iphone - I connected to the new available wifi network and launched my IPM2 app.
    3) Icons - Edge & Wifi icons come up on iphone (but the third rectangle icon does not ever become active). Iphone & wifi icons come up on my pc application.

    I run internet explorer, and nothing.

    Anyone have a suggestion?

    I have exactly the problem with Ryan, above. I successfully used iphonemodem for a day but now it cannot connect. I have tried to re-install it on both the iphone and macbook but no good result. What is default proxy settings for iphonemodem on mac. Thanks.

    I'm have the same problem. Macbook Pro-Iphone 3G. Got it working once on a Mac Mini(10.5.6) and speed measured 3.0Mb with speakeasy website, but no success now with Macbook or Mini. Mac says "Waiting for Iphone" and Iphone says "Open iPhoneModem on Mac/Pc". Where my money at?

    They are working on an update:
    -------------
    From ME:
    The third box on the iPhone app never activates/lights up.
    1. I launch the app on my WinXP laptop
    2. I click connect
    3. I launch the app on my iPhone

    The status on the WinXP iPhone modem is connected, but the app on the iPhone has a status of "Open iPhonemodem on MAC/PC"

    For anyone with inability to connect to internet after this installation go to internet options in internet expolorer, click connection tab, then lan settings, and uncheck proxy box. I also checked box to auto detect settings.

    Next week? Aaaargh.
    This is why charging for apps like this is risky. Now most of us have a worthless $10 "modem" that can't be used...

    next week? aaargh...
    A net-tethering app like this is so volatile, I'm not sure they should be charging for it if it can down for days at a time due to Apple updates or their own errors...
