Hey guys,

There are many threads on tethering right now, but I wanted to post the method that seems to work for most everyone. I'll quote the original author:

1) download the file attached here and e-mail to yourself, open in mail on iPhone.

2) go to http://9to5mac.com/iPhone-3G-tethering and follow their instructions to get tethering on.

############### Here on is for MMS; not required for Tethering #################

**When you do step 2 "Cellular Data Network" menu appears under "settings" > "general" > "network"

**MMS is not working for me but the icon does show up and you can select pictures but you get an error when sending... (look a past post pic attachment)

3) when "Cellular Data Network" menu appears go to it and type this info there,

**your VV will not work so I followed the advice from one of the comments on http://9to5mac.com/iPhone-3G-tethering

"EASY VOICEMAIL FIX! (restores original carrier settings)

Ok heres how you fix your voice mail-
1. Connect the phone to itunes and option click restore
2. Navigate to your user name->Library->iTunes->iPhone Carrier Support
3. Select the file contained within "iPhone Carrier Support" and proceed
You now have your voicemail working again"

6) took out sim and put it back in while restarting the phone.

Theese Instructions are AT&T only! and is what worked for me.

The file he refers to is attached to this message (Thanks again, zilian77).

Note: If you don't understand any of this, chances are you probably shouldn't be doing it.

If IPC is "Greyed Out": When alt+clicking the restore iPhone to put the carrier settings and it is greyed out, remove the file from the mounted disk image first, then select it (from your desktop, for example).

And I reiterate, MMS IS NOT WORKING. We have yet to figure this out. If anyone does get to to definitively work, post here and I'll update this top post. So far we have gotten the camera icon to show up on the Messages.app.

That's way more complicated than it needs to be. Just do this:

1) Download file
2) Remove .txt extension
3) E-mail the file to whatever e-mail you read on your iphone
4) Open mail and click on attached file to install
5) Ignore warning that pops up

Do not use this!!! It breaks Visual Voicemail.

Please put a disclaimer in your first post stating this fact.

Im posting the original post again!

Allright so far I have tethering working and MMS does show up in messages but does not work also my Visual Voicemail is working, I'm running 3.0(7a341) leaked on torrents a couple days ago.

this is what i did,

1) Downloaded the "mobilecongfig" from http://www.benm.at/help/ yesterday, but i managed to upload it here. (DO NOT DOWNLOAD FROM THE benm.at SITE CAUSE SOMEONE MESSED IT UP OVER THERE)*

*download and unzip. then e-mail to self, open on Mail on iPhone, Install.

2) Did this according to Instructions (I believe it's mac only) http://9to5mac.com/iPhone-3G-tethering

3) "Cellular Data Network" menu appeared under "settings" > "general" > "network"

4) put in the info supplied for MMS on http://www.benm.at/help/
