Tethering Guide for iPhone 3G or iPhone 3G S⃣ on Software Version 3.1.2 and below
First of all I have to go through the warning. If you carrier (whether that be AT&T, O2 or someone else) discovers you are tethering without a tethering plan, your service could be terminated or your account may be charged the appropriate and/or extra fees.
Since many have updated to Snow Leopard, it is much more effective to use the native solution found in OS 3 of the iPhone. For this guide I highly suggest you are using 3.1.2 software version. The baseband version does not matter (it can be 04.26.08 or it can be 5.11.07). It is very important that you are in a jailbroken state as you need Cydia access.
Follow these simple steps:
1. Go to Cydia and look for Repositories category
2. Select and install iFoneGuide.nl
3. After Cydia restarts, go to the Search tab and search for Tethering Patch
4. Select and install the patch that fits your phone (3G or 3GS).
5. Once that is done, quit Cydia and enter Safari
6. Type in the address bar:
http://help.benm.at
7. Scroll down and select Mobile Configuration
8. Select which ever country you reside in and later the carrier profile that matches you (AT&T, O2, Orange, etc)
9. After that, all you need is to go to Settings => General => Reset and select "Network Settings".
10. Your iPhone will reboot and you should now see Tethering up and working in Network Settings, enjoy!
Remarks
- Don't use the tethering feature as a main Internet connection, you will get AT&T to notice.
- This methods works flawlessly over Bluetooth and USB.
- It doesn't interfere with Virtual Machines
- Wi-Fi module on your computer is unused via this method
- Try to use USB connection as using BlueTooth (although easier to handle) drains your battery.
- This only works with firmware 3.1.2 down. The Tethering Patch isn't 3.1.3 compatible.

Enable MMS on 1st Gen iPhone
As many of you know, Apple did not decide to enable MMS for 1st Gen iPhone users. As such, anyone who still owns a 1st Gen iPhone and wants MMS either has to update to a new iPhone 3G
S⃣ or get an iPhone 3G.
However, hackers have developed a method on enabling MMS capabilities on the 1st Gen iPhone. To enable MMS on your 1st Gen, just follow the instructions:

** Be warned! The correct MMS settings for your carrier are not filled in by default. You have to find those MMS APN settings and write them in.**

AT&T Promotion Codes for FAN# Account Holders
AT&T has secret or not quite well known promotional codes for their costumers. These enable account holders to benefit from extra features for free and sometimes get more bang for the buck (in English more stuff for less). To add these codes to your account, all you have to do is call up AT&T Costumer Care line, just dial 611, and ask for the promotional code to be added. There is a catch. You
must be an AT&T FAN# Account Holder. In other words, your account is receiving a discount from AT&T because of your job or school/college.
