AT&T now allows Skype calls over 3G

Finally AT&T starts to listen to some of it's customers, when they finally allowed Skype to make calls over 3g, instead of just Wi-Fi only. Skype is a free application for the iPhone and is a free download on either a PC or a Mac. This will decrease the amount of money AT&T makes from calling plans, but now it makes the customer experience a lot better.

How To Get Tethering on Your iPhone

At Apple's WWDC, they officially announced the 3.0 software update with cut, copy, and paste, tethering, spotlight search, and MMS. Unfortunately it only took AT&T a few days to ruin the hopes and dreams of the 3.0 users with the announcement that they wouldn't support MMS or tethering in the U.S until late summer. Fortunately, some people have found a way around this situation. If you have an iPhone 3g or 3gs and would like tethering before the people over AT&T come out with an extra 25 dollars on your data plan follow these steps:

1. Grab your iPhone

2. Type help.benm.at/help.php in your iPhone in browser

3. Once open, scroll down the webpage and click on the Mobileconfigs download.

4. Scroll down the page until you get to your country

5. Click on your service provider, if in U.S click either AT&T or T-Mobile

6. Install the item from the page

7. Once done click the done button into your settings

8. Go to general, then network, scroll down to internet tethering, and you can switch your settings from their in your settings.

It has so far worked for me, and I have an iPhone 3gs, if it doesn't, contact me at krainess@yahoo.com and I will provide some assistance. I cant assure anyone that AT&T wont slap a huge data bill on you but so far I haven't received any huge bill yet. MMS should be available at the end of summer and a tutorial should follow with that opening.

Thanks for reading,

The iPhone Isn't Just a Phone

"A smartphone is a mobile phone offering advanced capabilities, often with PC-like functionality" according to wikipedia. The Apple iPhone isn't a regular smartphone. In my mind the iPhone is more than just a phone that can call, send text messages, view photos, and with the Windows Mobile Phones work with Word mobile.

Apple makes everything the way they want and of course different. As there are no complete set of rules to what a smartphone can have, Apple went all out with the iPhone 3G and now the iPhone 3Gs. The first iPhone was the Simon that featured a calendar,address book, world clock, calculator, note pad, e-mail, send and receive fax, and games. It like the iPhone was touch screen with no physical buttons as well, but the touch screen on the iPhone is like no other. The screen on the iPhone is multi-touch for those who didn't know and what that is it allows many different finger techniques to be used for many features on the phone.

When most people think smart phone they think BlackBerry, BlackJack, Palm or a Nokia phone. When I think smart phone I think iPhone. The iPhone can do all of the things I had said earlier, but it can also... play third party games via the app store, have billions of free and paid applications via the app store, be a mobile device that isn't just a portable computer, but way more complex and better.

Why would thousands of people wait in line for hours waiting for the latest and greatest iPhone? Because it isn't just a regular phone it is once again much more.
