no need to go through so much trouble. just jack your iPhone into iTunes 9 and it will update internet tethering by itself!

tested using iphone 3gs on starhub line

I had call M1 and ask them. They say never do anything to block the tethering function. But they are not apple iphone dealer. They also don’t have information to help for config.

I still waiting for someone to help. Tethering function not work with 3.1. But when you using Singtel SIM to 3.1 iphone, tethering function come back. Looks like some config problem.

Received this reply from IDA

SingTel Mobile does not disable the tethering function on the iPhone when the SIM card of another mobile operator is inserted into the phone. Rather, Apple has not configured the tethering function to be compatible with M1â��s or StarHubâ��s network. For a M1 or StarHub subscriber to use the tethering function, he would need to upload a M1 or StarHub configuration file respectively. However, as Apple has only provided the configuration file for SingTel, the M1 and StarHub configuration files do not exist in Apple’s database today.

YES! I absolutely feel the same way. I should not have updated to 3.1 if Internet tethering is disabled. Cmon APPLE!

Please, can someone fix this ASAP? Instead of being a lifestyle product, the feature is being removed to disrupt it.

These are my personal opinion.

This is very frustrating. I am a big FAN of Apple products. And I really enjoy its’ technology, especially the revolutionary iPhone. I once owned a 1st gen iPhone. I do not understand why is Apple doing this. I know that business collaborations with ISP like AT&T, SingTel, etc, are part and parcel of growing the business and increasing the revenue stream.

HOWEVER, We as M1 or SH subscribers paid a premium for the iPhone. We all know how high is the non-contract price. BUT personally, I am willing to buy it. Because I am buying the technology of the phone. And I enjoyed using it so far.

Tethering is a Technology that comes with the phone, not the ISP. I paid M1 for the service which enables me to surf the net on my phone. BUT why is Tethering blocked if I use a M1 sim card. I do not understand. To me, I am being blocked from using a Technology that I paid for. I am very disappointed.

Does anyone of you out there feels this way?
