As if the iPhone even needs a manual - here for the lazier among us (me too) is How To Use The Best 40 Features of iPhone 3.0 (http://www.ismashphone.com/2009/06/how_to_use_best_40_features_of_iphone_3.html) complete with pretty pictures!

As taken from this post over on HUKD (http://www.hotukdeals.com/item/424487/tip-enable-internet-tethering-on-ip/)


n the UK o2 want to charge you nearly £15 a month just to tether your iPhone and use it with your laptop. In the US AT&T have not officially announced their charges or support but now a simple, easy and maybe not so legal method has come to light.

The method does not require that you use iTunes to hack anything or jailbreak the phone but simply visit a website and download a settings file to update the device.

Thanks to Richard Lai there is a simple guide.

1. Visit http://help.benm.at/ from your iPhone 3.0 device

I've taken a screen shot on my iPhone to prove that it works. I'm actually using the 3G connection to post this now (surprisingly quick).

Just be aware, and careful. O2 have made the following stern comment reported on TechRadar :eek:


O2 has responded to reports that users have been bypassing the forthcoming iPhone tethering charges by stating it will disconnect or charge offenders.

The internet is rife with reports of a site hosting a file for your iPhone that configures the device to act as a modem, using the free data allowance included in the monthly contract.

However, O2 has smartly responded to the news, telling TechRadar that it will come down hard on such users:

"Internet rumours suggest that some customers have modified their iPhone to enable Internet Tethering without the purchase of the Internet Tethering Bolt On. Any use of this particular feature without the purchase of the Bolt on is specifically prohibited under our terms of service.

Disconnection an option

"Under those terms we reserve the right to charge customers making modem use of their iPhone or disconnect them. If customers wish to use the Internet Tethering feature on their iPhone 3G or iPhone 3G S, we recommend taking the Bolt On which is available from Friday 19 June."

We're still waiting to find out exactly how O2 will know the difference between data on the mobile and on a laptop, although simple usage graphs would show a sharp increase in data consumption.

However, whether this is enough for the network to prove tethering wrongdoing is also unclear, so we're still waiting for clarification on the subject.
