A lot of people want to know how to tether their internet connection using their iPhone without being jailbroken. Well baby, I’m gonna’ hook you up. Well here’s how to do it, and although this is a more complicated way to do it than the walk-through I gave before (iPhone OS 3.1.2 AT&T Tethering Jailbreak How-to ), but this one will work if your in different countries.

How to Activate and Enable Free Internet Tethering on iPhone 3.0

1. Open Safari
2. Visit either http://help.benm.at/tethering.php or http://www.iphone-notes.de/mobileconfig/
   
3. Select your country
   
4. Select your service provider
   
5. Tap Install to install the new profile
   
6. Select Install Now to install and download the new profile
   
   
   
7. Now go into your iPhone Settings -> General -> Network -> Internet Tethering (look, internet tethering setting, yeah baby)
   
8. Turn Internet Tethering On
   
9. When it talks that junk about bluetooth, just tell it USB Only if your connecting your iPhone via cable.
   
   
10. Now that tethering is turned on, just connect your iPhone to your computer and your set (yeah baby)
    
11. There’s one last thing to do (something that other web sites seem to leave OUT)… Your iPhone may / will act screwy, so go to Settings -> General -> Reset ->Reset Network Settings. After the short reset, iPhone should be able to be used for MMS, Voicemail and Internet tethering.
    

And there you have it. Nice ‘n’ easy like Georgia Weezy, am I right?

Update: Tethering does in fact work for OS 3.1.2 jailbroken or unjailbroken, and there’s the proof.

AT&T is looking to find ways to curb Internet usage. Check it out.

You know… here’s an idea. How about spend more time improving your network. Things are only going to get worst, people are only gonna’ use more and more data. Why put in a policy that can damage brand impressions and still not help future network usage problems?

Just another example of a mega corporation looking our for number one. And to all those on different networks, don’t think your cell phone company would do any different.

There’s a rumor that’s just hit the net that talks about a new iPhone in the works. I’ll let you read…

“The rumor mill is gradually picking up in activity when it comes to the next gen iPhone. Backing information GeekSmack got from its sources regarding the next-gen iPhone, it appears that a new report has surfaced citing sources in the Taiwan handset supply chain stating that Apple has contracted to produce a UMTS/CDMA hybrid iPhone, allowing Apple to sell a single handset to carriers worldwide—most notably Verizon Wireless.”

Hmm… If this ends up being true, this could be one of the biggest steps Apple could be taking for the iPhone. Imagine how brilliant that would be… Create a new model 3GS (with some small improvements I assume) that can be sold to AT&T, as well as Verizon. But it doesn’t stop there, it could also be sold to Sprint or even T-mobile. That’s doubtful because Apple would probably only partner with Verizon and AT&T. But owners of this new phone could then choose whatever carrier they wanted to jump to, T-mobile or Sprint. The way the Internet networks work, though, you wouldn’t be able to access 3G when switching networks from Verizon to Sprint I assume, just like you can’t access T-mobile’s 3G network from AT&T.

This doesn’t have an impact on the world market, although, because the entire world runs on GSM only now (AT&T & T-mobile), and only Sprint and Verizon run CDMA here in America (CDMA is antiquated technology). But Apple making their next iPhone contain a hybrid chip to sell as their new model would benefit everyone, as people who buy their phone from Verizon could then sell it online and people from other countries could buy it and use it on their GSM network.

This is just a rumor, but I think this is the next best thing Apple could do for it’s lineup.

Check it out, I found a way to enable internet tethering for OS 3.1.2 for AT&T. This isn’t some crappy third-party app or half-baked hack that promises to work but doesn’t… If your jailbroken running OS 3.1.2, it enables the stock tethering feature of internet tethering from Apple. Best of all, you can install it all from Safari without anything extra.

1. In Safari, go to http://m.peacefulinsanity.com/Tether.mobileconfig.
2. Touch “Install” and go through all the prompts.
3. Reboot.
4. Now go to Settings > General > Network > Internet Tethering

And that’s it. You now got internet tethering. And yes, I’ve tried it on both the Neocell 3GS and my girl’s iPhone 3G and it works on both. Pretty bad ***, huh?
