Enabling Internet tethering on your OS 3.0 running iPhone has just been made even easier. Now instead of downloading and updating your iPhone, you can set your self up by simply visiting a website and making a few clicks.
In order to use this simpler method, just grab your iPhone, launch Mobile Safari and surf on over to http://help.benm.at/help.php.
Once there, it is just a matter of making those few clicks. Basically, just click on Mobileconfigs, then choose your country and carrier and you should be all set.
Again, this comes with a warning that you may get into trouble with your carrier, not to mention it has also been noted as negatively affecting visual voicemail by some users. That said, have fun and enjoy being able to tether you connection.

I just downloaded and installed the Mobileconfig and set it up on my computer and phone and it works fine. It was also really easy to download and set up. Also, on my computer, the internet speed is about the same as 3G on my iPhone.

So far all of the tips I’ve read about how to tether, all show how to do it with the 3G iPhone. I’ve tried a couple of them with my 1st Gen phone, and the only one that’s worked successfully is PDANet which I’ve been using for a while now. I have no “tethering” screen under Settings|General|Network.

Worked great for me, thanks for the tip! I’ll be happy to pay ATT for this once they get their heads out of their rears and offer it to me as an option. Until then, thanks iPhoneFreak!
