Iphone Internet Tethering


Internet tethering allows you to share the internet from one device to another...in this case, from your iphone to your Mac or pc.

Why is this useful?

  • How about if you have a few hours to kill in the airport and don't want to surf the net on your phone or pay the daily rate to use the WIFI in the airport.
  • Or, what if you are in a room with no WIFI but your phone still has a signal...tether time!
  • Or, anytime you want to use your laptop and there is no free WIFI available

And this site on your Iphone (must have 3G, this will not work on EDGE): http://help.benm.at/help.php

Setup should only take about 5min...remember to restart your phone after you install the mobile config or your voicemail might not work right.  Works like normal after a quick restart. Leave me a comment if you get stuck and need help.
