How to tether your iPhone running OS 3.0 without jailbreaking, for free

Is it simple? Yes. Risky? A bit. Legal? We’ll leave that to the lawyers ’cause we know that you’re aching to give tethering a spin over your newly downloaded iPhone OS 3.0 update. We’ve seen several guides to enable tethering ever since OS 3.0 was first released into beta (and into the wilds) oh so many days ago. However, these were always carrier/country specific and required a bit more command line tampering than the common man could stomach. Now an automated solution has come to our attention that just works, is global, and doesn’t require a jailbreak. Essentially, you use your iPhone to browse to a site that you’ve never heard of (help.benm.at), download a file that promises to reconfigure your local carrier profile, and then switch on tethering as you would had you tithed a monthly tethering fee to your carrier. We tried it here on T-Mobile NL and it works as it has on O2 UK. There’s obvious risk here so be careful and backup your iPhone first before giving this a shot. And don’t go nuts either — remember, your unlimited data plan likely contains a “fair use” clause and you can bet that carriers won’t be happy to see their bandwidth diminish without compensation. Now brace yourselves and hit the read link for the full procedure… ready, go!
