Hmm, tethering on iPhone 3.0 and not break Visual Voicemail

Its not like *I* did this, cause of course its not allowed on AT&T, but if you were so inclined, you could you know, do this yourself, to enable Tethering, MMS, and also not break Visual Voicemail like some of the other guides do.

Follow the instructions here, except use a different ipcc file. The one on his site, I heard, breaks Visual Voicemail. If you use the .ipcc file that is found here you don’t end up breaking Visual Voicemail.

Basic Instructions for a mac (PC instructions in link above) are

  • Download ipcc from above link
  • Run the following command in terminal: defaults write com.apple.iTunes carrier-testing -bool TRUE
  • Open iTunes and Alt-Click on “Update”
  • Choose the ipcc you downloaded
  • On your iPhone, go to general, network, tethering, and turn USB tethering on. I’ve heard the Bluetooth is slow, and Bluetooth sucks anyways, so don’t use that
  • Now there are additional steps to enable MMS if you’re so inclined. If I was doing this, I wouldn’t bother, as I don’t really care about MMS, and you end up having to mess with your att account.
