no tethering on officially unlocked iPhone

Me! I'm using it now to post this.

Still nothing on my factory unlocked Iphone 3GS. =(

But have you installed a mobile config file pertinent to your network?

after months with a blocked standard feature (now it finally works within jailbreaking) i DO NOT believe anything like "BUT if it is really confirmed that tethering is working in 3.1.3" .....

Finally i decided iPhone is not the right appliance for my work ---> back to NOKIA.

I also have an officially unlocked 3GS and can confirm that tethering is back again after update to 3.1.3 and with mobileconfigs from benm.at. At last.

Same here. I´ve got a factory unlocked 3GS tethering is back again with 3.1.3

I just inserted the necessary APN info in the section for Internet Tethering, it is the same as that required for Cellular Data - is there a chance those experiencing problems didn't realize that one needs to insert the APN data separately from the Cellular Data (I don´t recall havin to do that before as I believe Internet Tethering simply used the Cellular Data settings, now it´s a separate field [below the MMS settings].

I guess all's well that ends well 🙂

Same again here. Happy tethering after the update 🙂 (finally!)

No need for a mobileconfig. I can just enter the APN in the Internet Tethering section of the network settings, and then enable tethering.

Got that impression too. But went ahead and installed mobileconfig for 3 Ireland before testing. Working anyway.

Posts get removed from here just for mentioning another (useful) website -even without the URL? Hmmm.

Correct. Just removed the mobileconfig and inserted APN. Very handy. Just change APN when SIM-swap (or may be there by default from the more enlightened networks).

Tethering back for me. Updating, removing the mobileconfig a had to use tethering with os 3.0 en manually entering the APN both for cellular data and tethering (for Proximus, Belgian carrier). Everything works fine, both USB en bluetooth tethering. And I can also see my usage for cellular and tethering data.
So I think Apple finally got the message that in some countries carriers have no problem with tethering... Great!

Interestingly enough, I am on 3 Ireland as well.

Hopefully with the tethering and the VoIP over 3G coming into play they will keep providing us with full Internet access for a tenner 😉

Should make no difference to 3 Ireland....data is data. If I don't use this SIM in my iPhone, it's is my MiFi providing access to my iPhone by wifi. Cén dochar? 🙂

Indeed no harm to use it if it works 🙂

(but if I was them I would rethink my business model when my customers can make phone call on which I am making no profit as part of a 10 euros add-on ...)

I've been using the VoiP on fring for a week now and nary a whimper. I wouldn't pay it any mind. Besides, using tethering, that 1GB add-on won't be long going....another 10€, sir? Ching-ching.
