   only available for 3g phones :/

   That sucks, i mean theres no hardware problem thats not allowing tethering or MMS, or stereo bluetooth. Hopefully someone in the jailbreak community will unlock this feature! Come on apple!!!!

   I would like to know how also? Wife and I are going to WY next month and she need to connect to work sometimes to get small files. She is work at home full time (IBM is cool for that). We could make our vaction a little longer if she could use her laptop from time to time.

   I also had the “Contact your ISP” (in my case T-Mobile), after clicking the message away something like 10 times, the option to enable tethering suddenly appeared.

   Works liks a charm, using USB Cable.

    I tried it, got stuck on Edge, restoring the device. Careful with trying this.

    From Softsailor.com

    How to enable tethering on iPhone 3.0 the easy way 1:

    Step 1: Go to http://help.benm.at using your iPhone.

    Step 2: Download the file which will reconfigure your career profile.

    Step 3: Install your profile.

    Step 4: Go to: Settings -> General -> Network -> Internet Tethering and switch to “ON”.

    Step 5: Turn Bluetooth “OFF” and use the USB data cable, and plug in the iPhone to your PC.

    Step 6: After you plug in the iPhone, you will receive a message which says that a new network interface has been detected. Go to Network Preferences, click “Apply”, turn WiFi “OFF” and you’re set to use Internet Tethering on your iPhone for free without jailbreaking.

    How to enable tethering on iPhone 3.0 the easy way 2:

    Step 1: Go to your service provider to enable tethering.

    Step 2: Manually download the MobileConfig file from here for AT&T, from here for O2 UK, from here for other European carriers, then email it to yourself, and open it as an attachment using your email app.

    Step 3: From now on you can follow the Step 3 from above as it’s the same thing. Install your career profile, then see Step 4, Step 5, and Step 6.

    It wasn’t that hard wasn’t it? Now you can use Internet Tethering on your iPhone 3G or iPhone 3G S as of tomorrow thanks to the new iPhone OS 3.0. Enjoy!

    8lias,

    Tried the softsailor.com direction, but at Step 4: Go to: Settings -> General -> Network -> (there is no) Internet Tethering (to) switch to “ON”. DId I do something wong or has AT&T blocked?

    

    8lias on June 20th, 2009 1:49 am:

    I am not sure Marty, I got locked on Edge only when I tried it so I dare not touch that hack again…Good luck.

    Check your visual voicemail after installing this. It definitely causes a conflict in the US with AT&T. VM no longer shows up on the phone, but if you dial in (hold down 1), youve got msgs…
