nosit1 Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Shame it's Verizon. The way I share my 3G connection is wifi tether to my MacBook Pro. ICS the connection coming into the MBP through Ethernet to my netbook. It's not fast at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjdaley Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 If you have a PocketPC or a blackberry you can do this, for free...... Before I got my blackberry I had the Sprint Mogul (HTC PPC-6800), was great would get 1-4mbit depending on location :-) Sorry IPhone, your network can't handle it, I am not bashing, I am being serious, it is enabled in your phone, but AT&T disabled it. Says so on Apple's website (not available in the united states) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's only so much you can do with it. Defiantly not a replacement for a workstation/notebook etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you can share the 3G connection on your iPhone with your Mac notebook or PC laptop. Tethering is not currently offered in the U.S. and some other countries. See your carrier for availability. :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingJ Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 I took out a "mobile broadband" subscription sometime ago. Really useful when travelling and not that expensive. However, since I recently got a phone plan which includes it's own "unlimited" (If you call 1GB unlimited) plan, i'll probably tether that. Sure the contract prohibits tethering, but they can't really tell. Before getting the mobile broadband subscription, I used another providers "£1 for 1 day" deal which was in theory limited to 40MB/day, even when I pushed 400MB in a day as a test they didn't complain or take any action!
