I believe, but I'm not sure, that iPhones that have been jailbroken can tether. Apple continues to be pressed on tethering, but I think that AT&T is so wedded to selling users a USB modem data plan, thay simply won't budge.

AT&T has just offered tethering for an additional $20 monthly if you use their DataPro plan. I'm with Randy though...if I need to go to the Internet I just use the iPhone. Plus, I have never once texted anyone, so no way I upgrade to any data plan. BK

Yes, that was AT&T's intention all along - screw the customers already paying for a data plan for even more on an additional tethering one. Wasn't Ma Bell deregulation supposed to eliminate this kind of gouging? > > I'm with Randy though...if I need to go to the Internet I just use the > iPhone.

Not much, I find.
