Telstra NextG tethering does work already

2009-06-18 Thread Susan Hastings
Hi, I have been able to get tethering working for Telstra NextG with the aid of a little config file downloaded from the discussion forum on Whirlpool - so even if Telstra is slow off the mark, it isn't because it can't be done. Now, I'm not going to use it because of the expense. cheers,

I've just been browsing the Whirlpool forum, and it didn't help me - it was full of jargon I didn't understand. I found the configuration file, but I have no idea what to do with it. Does my phone need to be jail-broken to do this? Any advice gladly received. Rob Susan Hastings wrote: Hi,

With the one I found on Whirlpool, you can send it to yourself in an email, pick it up on the iphone, and it offers itself to be installed. On 18/06/2009, at 9:06 PM, Rob Phillips wrote: I've just been browsing the Whirlpool forum, and it didn't help me - it was full of jargon I didn't

Hi, I had a look at the site in Shay's email, and the instructions describe the process I followed, except mine was for Telstra. I already had MMS working, installing the config file allowed for the tethering (although I didn't get bluetooth tethering working, despite having followed the

Hi Rod, Telstra will charge at data rate. For my plan that works out at $1 per Mb. Not really encouraging me to use it. I think I'll stay on WiFi at work and home and go to McDonalds when on the road!!! Regards, Eugene On 19/06/2009, at 6:44

Hi Peter, I did actually eventually get it set up by briefly turning on data roaming, then setting it up, then when I turned off data roaming, it stayed on. I haven't found that syncing with iTunes switches it off - so far. cheers, Susan. On 19/06/2009, at 10:48 AM, Peter Meyer wrote:
