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.

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.
