I used to have this enabled in my control panel before the notorious 3.1 upgrade (or should I say downgrade) caused a problem with my Ben.m tether enabling application and the on going battery reduced battery life post 3.01.
Does anyone know of a way to put internet tethering back on my phone utilizing my existing unlimited data plan so I dont have to pay extra for the minutes?

3.1 has fixed this issue, and to my knowledge, no one has come up with an alternative.

You could try this for Internet Tethering - they claim it works for firmware version 3.1 on an iPhone 3GS.

I posted this thread and hope I can help some of you out there.
My question was:-
I have an iPhone 3GS purchased in Taiwan which is factory unlocked. Tethering worked perfectly prior to the 3.1.2 upgrade.
Does anyone have any solution as to how I can get tethering back without having to unlock or hack the phone? Perhaps a way to downgrade the phone back to 3.1. How about iTunes? Will it keep asking me to update my phone each time I sync?
Thanks in advance.
I have found a solution that works for me.
1. Go to Settings
2. Press General
3. Press Network
4. Press VPN
5. Switch VPN on then off
6. Press Add VPN configurations
7. Press Auto under the Proxy settings
8. Press Cancel
9. Go back to main screen
10. Go to Settings
11. Press General
12. Press Network
Your Internet Tethering should be back.
I did not make any changes, hack the phone or download any updates (I dont there has been any since 3.1.2 7D11 and I got tethering back.
Good luck.

You cannot use tethering until ATT releases their tethering plans.
