For now. Of course, being JB is not the world's safest place. Just search in the forum for the word "brick."
its actually very...VERY...hard to brick your iPhone...

Ii hope that you are right. One would not believe it from this forum. Since I have had it with the "steaming pile of failure," I really hope you are right.
AT&T does not know what app you are using. That is why if you JB, you can do things that you cannot do on a straight iPhone. It is Apple that keeps you from tethering, not AT&T. They do it by not permitting you to put the app on your phone. Admittedly, they do it as an accommodation, in restraint of trade, to AT&T. I cannot understand how they keep the FTC off their backs.
Incidentally, on another thread, it says that the iPhone will not tether over WiFi but rather over a wire to a PC. That is how they keep you from tethering an iPad. PDANet looks to the iPad like any other wireless access point.
very well said explanation. thank you
on another side note; i never thought i'd see the day whmurray would even ponder the thought of jailbreaking. that steaming pile must be getting more foul than we had thought

Not in the AT&T service area. Show me the app. Jailbreak and not only can AT&T not stop you, they cannot even tell that you are doing it.What? Apple allowed tethering with 3.0, AT&T is the one that doesn't (didn't) allow it.

I grant you that it is AT&T's policy but Apple is the enforcer.
What is your point?
Agreed but Apple is the enforcer. Without Apple, AT&T is toothless.I don't think I have point really. Your comment didn't sound right to me. Most if not all other carriers around the world allow tethering with iPhone os 3.0 while AT&T doesn't allow it.

Apple wanted iPhone users to be able to tether in 3.0. It was AT&T who stopped them, remember the exclusive contract
We say, "Steaming pile of failure." Of course, this is another case of AT&T talking about a product or service that they are not taking orders for.its going to be like paying $45 for 2 GB of data per month... thats a bunch of crap!............
Surely these things are not on by default?I can see no way that ATT can detect you using MyWi and charge you because it would violate their terms of use. If you want to be safe, you can make sure that you wont get charged by doing the following:
Log into your ATT account online.
Go to restrictions
Disable the ability to purchase tethering, extra data, etc.
MyWi will still work and you cannot get charged
