Shh! Stop shouting! My poor virtual ears.

It means.
You find a suitable ipcc file. And install it on your phone by option clicking "restore" in iTunes.

"But the ipcc file is all greyed-out" you say.

Ah, but if you open Terminal (the command line)
and enter the command "defaults write com.apple.iTunes carrier-testing -bool TRUE"
and then restart iTunes.
Then it won't be greyed-out any longer.

C.

regarding the "greyed-out" ipcc, i briefly had that issue and it wasn't because of the default write. the default write line just lets you option click restore to be able to choose the ipcc. the reason it is greyed out is because the mac thinks its a zip file. if you go into terminal and do an ls, you'll see that there is a .zip tacked onto the back of the filename. i did a "cp ATT_US.ipcc.zip ATT_US.ipcc" and itunes now let me install.
 
I got this to work yesterday over bt. Obviously yesterday it was on a 3g today I got my 3gs right now got no internet at home so tethering is my fix to I get internet again. It installs and everything I get to the point that the iPhone says tethering in the blue letters but when I try to connect it won't work i've uninstalled and reinstalled plenty of times is it working for anyone?
 
Yes. I just tried it and got it working on my 3G S.
After I got it successfully paired. I went back to my laptop, clicked on the B (bluetooth icon) found my phone name and chose connect to network.
 
o2 contract

Works fine for me on both our 32gb 3gs. Thanks OP. nice job. Will be watching my usage though just to see if it gets charged to my account.:):)
 
Anyone have an issue with trying to download the file? My iPhone says "Safari cannot open" or something like that.
 
I set this up beautifully on my new 32 gig 3GS and I was wondering if anyone has seen any changes to their bill after setting this up...
 
Tethering works great with US att

Sorry, I should have been more specific. Has anyone tried this in the US with AT&T?

Yes it worked perfectly for me until I upgraded to 3.1 should have know they offered bogus upgrade that slowed my 3g down and took away the ability to tether. Now in the process of downgrading back to 3.0 to get tethering. don't care is I cannot MMS:(
 
not sure if this will help

Make sure your Wifi is turned OFF - this works for me when tethering at home
 
Works great

I found this awhile back on a mac rumors forum.
It's pretty easy and works usb and bluetooth with AT&T in Atlanta.
I use it sometimes at my brother's apt b/c his internet sucks.
I downloaded while on vacation at Hilton Head but didnt have a chance to use it there.
