Enable Tethering in iPhone 3.0

iPhone 3.0 was widely available since yesterday. One of the most awaited feature is tethering, which generally means you are treating your iPhone like a modem.

You have the following options that works out of the box, to connect your iPhone to your computer (Requires Mac OSX v10.5.7 for Mac computers):
  • Doc connector to USB cable (cable provided when you purchase your iPhone)
  • Bluetooth

To enable tethering in your iPhone 3.0, do the following:
  1. Tap on Settings > General > Network > Internet Tethering
  2. Ensure your Internet Tethering is ON
  3. Connect your iPhone to your computer using one of the methods above.

    Note that for Bluetooth, you will need to first enable the feature in your iPhone at Settings > General > Bluetooth

That's it...

Note: Some seems to have encountered problems where they are unable to see the Internet Tethering setting. Generally, resetting the settings at Settings > General > Reset will enable you to see this option. This is assuming that you've upgraded to iPhone 3.0 through the normal iTunes update
