Great app but it has now gone missing! Tethering has just disappeared this morning while trying to connect to my mac. Tried re-installing but still no joy. I am running 3.1 software. Checked and it’s not just my ‘phone that it has gone from. Any ideas?

I got tethering to work. Thank you!

Then I lost visual voicemail, so I changed the APN setting as you recommended. I got visual voicemail back, but then lost tethering.

So I went through the process again to get tethering, but the APN setting went back to wap.cingular, which indicates to me that visual voicemail is gone again. Is there something in the ipcc file that makes tethering not compatible with VVM?

Thanks! Works like a charm!

Had some minor problems getting an IP address at first but that problem was resolved once pdaNet was disabled/removed.

So far no problems with Visual Voicemail.

[...] Tether Free for iPhone 02 – Tether Free is an application written to let you use the Internet on your iPhone for free. It uses the same access point for tethered access as your iPhone uses for normal data so as far as I can tell no additional charges *should* be incurred. [...]

I tested the files for T-Mobile Germany but none of them works. So german users have to wait for the first breaktrough . Maybe when the t-Mobile US carrier will be hacked.

Thx for the great app.

PS: DMG files only works on Mac OS. Every topic the same question!

Thanks so much for this – works perfectly. The only thing that went wrong is that the file erased my phone’s MMS settings – but, Google helped there and now everything is working beautifully, including tethering. Thanks again.

Does it work with a iphone 3G 16GB in Germany and is it possible to enter the Telecom data on my own?

To get Visual Voicemail back Under network setting change your visual voicemail APN from wap.cingular to settings to acds.voicemail. Bingo thats it!

The above looks a bit long-winded, pretty sure it’s much easier than that!

A workaround to get MMS and Visualv Voicemail working again after activating tethering:

Unfortunately, haven’t been able to figure out how to do it without a second GSM phone on hand for a few minutes.

Well, good news and bad news. The good news is that this program worked perfectly and I have already tried the tethering and it works like a charm. The BAD news is that somehow this screwed up AT&T’s services. My voicemail’s are no longer being delivered. When I go to SETTINGS->GENERAL->NETWORK->CELLULAR DATA NETWORK … all of the settings no read wap.cingular!!!! What’s up??? Anyone know what this means and how I can get my voicemail’s back?
