How do you “1. Load up Terminal” (I can’t find it on my pc), and I downloaded iphonetetheringfile.dmg but what does it mean to “mount” it?

OK. So I am just a little conservative. Has this been tried recently since the upgrades to MMS with text messaging?

I would like to install this on one mac (the one I use to sync the iPhone) but would wish to tether it to a laptop. I am willing to attempt the instructions but losing voicemail when I use this as a business phone would be a disaster.

To fix visual voice mail after tethering:

Go to Settings>Reset>Reset Networking Setting

After that, you visual voice mail will be working again!

I do that after i done using the tethering.

I’ve enabled tethering using the .nz tool, but can’t get vm notification working, probably because I didn’t go through the itunes steps on my PC. Would someone please “translate” these instructions over to iTunes for Windows?

Also, If tethering stops working just repeat step 1.

After searching all over and trying everything, I finally found a solution by combining info from different sources.

To get visual voicemail back after enabling tethering and also KEEP tethering working, follow these steps.

1. Go to http://www.unlockit.co.nz on your iphone and choose “Custom APN”, check yes for “V3 Tethering + MMS”, and choose “US – AT&T” from the carrier menu. This will download and install a verified profile.

2. Enable tethering and connect your phone to your mac (haven’t tested this on a PC) and make sure it’s working. Open itunes and option-click “Restore”. Navigate to your home folder and then: ~/Library/iTunes/iPhone Carrier Support.
Choose the “ATT_US.ipcc” and let it update your carrier settings.

Done. This should bring back visual voicemail and keep tethering. It’s working for me so far anyway.

hmmm… after restoring (as a new iPhone), and WITHOUT installing the tethering file, the Cellular Data network choice is still not available… any ideas, Sean?
