Did I just get caught tethering?

nope not true. you can use your iPhone's wifi connection to tether.

I thought this was the case too, as when I tried tethering to test it, I had wifi connected to the iphone while I was tethering, but when I entered a website to find out what IP address my laptop was using, it was not my routers public address, so the phone was using the 3G gateway, and not the wifi to tether to the laptop.

My MMS messages showed up for the month of June '09 as (40) MMS total. Of course, no charges since I have the unlimited messaging plan. Nothing on my tethering with regards to charges or its existence.......

The wap.cingular suddenly started showing up on my data charges on the At&T website. I wonder if I will get charged for it? Some transfers show up as "phone" when I used the phone, then as "wap.cingular" when I was tethering.

Has anyone else noticed any changes when they looked at their account online?

Hmmmm.. interesting..
Mine is the same too. Although all data usage is showing up on our iPhone lines as wap.cingular regardless if it was tethered or not. I think this has to do with the hacked iPhone ipcc file and not whether it was actually tethered or not. We have two iPhones that have the ipcc file changed, and a third that does not. The third iPhone's data is still showing up as "phone."
