said by DavisPhotog :Didn't work. Need to follow the instructions from above (this cures the problem 100%): said by kaila :In the iphone's Settings->General->Network->Cellular Data Network, change the Visual Voicemail APN from wap.cingular to: acds.voicemail This will fix the voicemail issue. I don't have "Cellular Data Network" the Nework menu
All that is there is:
Enable 3G
Data Roaming
Internet Tethering
VPN
Wi-Fi
what did I miss? |

How's the battery life? I was one of the lucky to grab NetShare, but it will totally drain the battery dead in about 75 minutes unless plugged into AC. May consider the hack if the life is better.

Did you do the hack from a Mac or a Windows system?

May consider the hack if the life is better. I did it over USB so the battery doesn't drain. Even when plugged into USB NetShare will still drain the battery quickly, so I guess the battery drain is significantly less.
I am digging into the carrier settings file trying to fix the VM bug so people don't have to manually change settings. I see there are several items under SupportedSIMs that probably indicate different AT&T sims. I'm wondering if one could edit that list to unlock the phone.
Anyway, if you rename the IPCC file to .zip, you can then double click it to unzip it and get a .bundle file. Open that up and you get to a carrier.plist file. Under apns, #1 is wap.cingular, whereas #3 is acds.voicemail. Fixing the bug may entail switching the two around.

| USB or Bluetooth?
If Bluetooth, make sure you've paired your iPhone with your iMac. Then, from the BT menu, go down to your iPhone, and from the submenu select "Connect to iPhone." Once this is completed, your iPhone should indicate that internet tethering is turned on.
Whether or not you get an IP on the computer side depends on whether or not you're in 3G range or not.
