The iPhone OS 3.0 was released yesterday and millions of users downloaded the software update from Apple. Two of the most expected features of the iPhone 3.0 OS were internet tethering and MMS, however, none of these officially work, but you can make the first work unofficially without the need of jailbreaking your iPhone. Before starting please backup your iPhone, and please note that this is not confirmed of working on AT&T, but it should work on all official iPhone careers and so far O2 UK and T-Mobile NL were confirmed as working. Also if it works then please don’t download or see movies on YouTube excessively as your career will probably notice that you are using their bandwidth without paying anything.
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!

Worked perfectly in the US.
i have an iphone here in the US in California on 3.0 and there is no “Internet Tethering” option under Network on my iPhone….
NEVERMIND i just realized i have the first generation iPhone HEHE
Did not work for me. The tethering options shows but it says “contact at&t to setup tethering for this account”
I installed the software on an unlocked (Belgium) gen 2 iPhone running in the Netherlands on the KPN NL network and there is no option to have tethering in the systems prefs menu, ie, does not work for me.
It worked without configuring with me. just plugged in and surfed
i’m using T-mobile Austria
Worked perfectly in US using AT&T. Thanks.
Worked perfectly for me, followed instructions on my Mac book Pro and all apples
