Tethered Modem

Does anyone know if Apple Supports using the iPhone as a tethered modem? I see several sites where you have to hack into the iPhone but I'd rather not do that. Unfortunately I live in an area where High Speed is not available, I am able to get up to 200k using my BlackBerry 8130 and was hoping I would be able to do the same with the iPhone. Any help is appreciated!!

No, the iphone does not support tethering.
You can leave feedback though: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

  • Unable to connect 8300 to laptop running Vista, as tethered modem

    Hi
    This is my first time so please excuse any naivety. I just taken delivery of my new Blackberry 8300 Curve and after some initial teething troubles all is well except that I cannot get it to work as a tethered modem. My laptop is running Vista Business and I've tried the fixes on 'crackberry' w/out success. I'm in the UK and my network provider is British Telecom and they are less than helpful. Any suggestions would be gratefully received.
    Regards
    Peter

    Hi,
    I also had a same issue,then i went with installing the service packs of blackberry desktop manager software to get connected with vista,it worked fine.

    Go to Solution.

    I am having the same issue...and its not because I use a macbook...on my system in the advanced settings before I click connect I go to modem and it shows the device to be a 8300 instead of my 8520...when I click connect it says "an error occurred with the modem. Try reconnecting. If the problem continues verify your settings and contact your administrator." ... I've contacted my "administrator" and they were unnable to give me a clear answer as to why it won't work or if it even has the capability to be used as a modem..I need an answer!! Has anyone actually done it themselves using a 8520????!!?!?

  • Tethered modem + incoming calls

    If I am using my Blackberry 8330 as a tethered modem can I also receive incoming calls?  Will the caller get a busy signal or will the call go thru?  Will an incoming call knock the tethered modem off line?

    The Bold is the only BlackBerry that can support simultaneous voice and data.  I believe your Internet connection will get cut off when a call comes in, but I'm not sure.

  • 8330 Curve - Tethered Modem with Acer Aspire One Netbook ?

    Anyone have any experience, or knowledge, about using the 8330 Curve's ability as a tethered modem with Acer's Aspire One 8.9" netbook that uses the XP Home Windows operating system with Intel's Atom processor and a 160 GB hard drive and an external DVD/CD reader drive?
    My Alltel 8330's Curve works great with my regular Compaq laptop, but it's aging and I'm considering this little well-reviewed Acer Netbook.
    Thanks in advance!

    USB tethering should work with any Windows 2000 / XP / Vista.

  • Blackberry pearl 8100 as a tethered modem - once worked fine but not anymore

    For about a year upto late Sept 2008 I had been using my bb pearl 8100 as a tethered modem.  Although it was slow I was able to access the internet from my desktop pc.  But for some unknown reason in late Sept 2008 that all changed - i.e. I can longer access the internet from my desktop pc via the pearl - and neither I nor my ISP can work out what why. 
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled bb desktop manager (three different versions, the latest being 4.2.2.6), I have updated my device software, I have updated the modem drivers, I have installed the desktop software on 2 other computers and connected the pearl but I continue to experience the same problem, that being that although I am able to establish a phone connection little or no data is being transmitted.  The best I have been able to acheive is sending about 35k of data and receiving about 2.5k over a 3 hour period.  On most other occassions no data is exchanged at all although a connection is established.  Has anyone else ever experienced anything like this?  If so, how (if you did) did you  resolve it?  I'd also welcome any suggestions from others who think they have a solution.  Thanks. J.

  • Curve as a tethered modem - hang-ups

    I am using my Curve as a tethered modem, and it is working reasonably well.  However, if anything funky happens, and sometimes for no apparent reason, the connection will terminate or hang.  I am only able to reconnect after pulling the battery from the Curve, and putting the phone through the reset sequence that happens automatically.
    Any tips to optimize the connection, or reset the modem without having to pull the battery?

    Hi and Welcome to the forums,
    Please specify operating system on the PC
    Define "something funky happens  (tech term)
    What model curve ex. 8300 curve and OS on curve go to options - about - looking for 4.x.x.xxx

  • Tethered Modem for Mac

    Can it be achieved with a Mac laptop?  All I have found are instructions for Windows machines.  Is there  an instruction page that I can refer to?  I am looking forward to the Bold launch so I can do it at tolerable speeds.  
    Thanks, all.

    There are some good tethering info and instructions here:

  • Tethered modem capability

  • EVDO in/wifi out or tethered modem?

    Has anyone tried a tethered handset (not smartphone) or EVDO in/wifi out router on the Alltel network? The 3G Store said a Kyocera KR1 might work. Alltel's $25/month tethering feature sounds great but Alltel doesn't offer Mac tech support.

    This is a link to the Apple Support page on this problem. Even if you have tried these things previously I suggest you go through the steps listed in order. Start at the top and continue through the list until your Wi-Fi is working properly. If nothing on that list helps make an appointment at an apple Store to have your phone checked out.
