Are you thethering?
 

I'm tethering my desktop thru my iPhone right now and surfing GFY on 3G.

It not as fast as my network connect, but still surprisingly fast.

And its all AaronM's fault, he taught me how to do this.

I have an app on my WinMo phone that turns the phone into a Wifi hotspot using the data connection.

Do they have those for iPhone yet?

I dont know... sounds cool though. I'm just happy that now I can take my netbook anywhere and not pay an extra $60/month for its own 3g.

tethering requires a second mortgage in Canada... we're better off buying those little usb devices that do the same thing.

doesnt your phone already have 3g? Just use it like a modem.

Tethering great!!!
Curious as to which app you are using on your phone?

Tethering rocks.

It's cooked into a custom ROM I use for my HTC Diamond.

Here's an article about the app:

Its not available for at&t/iphone yet?

The phone company bills 'tethering' as a completely separate service, and tracks it somehow. So the moment I turn on the 'modem' functionality, I start paying a hefty price.

Very nice!!! Thanks for the link!!! :thumbsup

It works perfectly. We kept it running with a netbook connected to it while taking a road trip recently...streaming TV shows on Hulu.

tethering on iphone ever since the big update.. a profile added to your phone works like a charm.. its publicly available..

yeah pheer its dope isnt it? May as well get the most out of it before att decides to charge an elbow and a forearm for it.

A few years ago I was tethering my phone as a modem and the people at the at&t store said that if I was caught doing it I would be charged $50 per MB and the unlimited internet plan I had wouldn't cover it since I was using it on a laptop. That was in 06 or 07 though, surely the rules have changed now.

Really?

Hmmmm. :glugglug
