TETHERING

 TETHERING

It's been a while since I posted and I want to apologize to all the readers of this blog. Okay, it's been a while and I've been in my room, drinking coffee, writing code and excetera but.... I have done some research and most of all, I know there's iOS users out there that have been struggling for tethering and thus without paying a lot of cash. Well, nothing is for free in life and that doesn't mean you can't have a bargain price !

The best iPhone tethering apps

Two apps that have implemented precautions are both on our list of best Cydia apps: TetherMe and PdaNet. TetherMe costs $4.99 in Cydia (a bargain compared to the $20 MyWi), and PdaNet is pricier at $14.99.
The two apps take different approaches to tethering. TetherMe goes the simple route: it enables iOS’s native tethering (without a plan) and edits APNs to hide it from carriers. It’s simple, it’s easy to use, and it’s one of the cheapest tethering apps out there.
Pdanet, meanwhile, offers a more advanced feature set, and it appears to take a stricter approach to hiding your tethering from your carrier. It lets you choose between “level 1″ hiding, which should suffice for most users, or the more powerful “level 2,” which gives you mobile versions of sites on your tethered device. PdaNet functions as a standalone app, and doesn’t involve the native iOS tethering interface.
The carriers’ customer-hostile policy towards tethering is annoying, but it’s comforting to know that the development community has risen to the occasion. There are other ways that wireless providers could potentially detect your tethering (packet sniffing?), but we haven’t heard any reports of that. Chances are, these two apps will let you enjoy free tethering without any hassle.

Avoid MyWi (for now)

The most popular iPhone tethering app is called MyWi — but I actually don’t recommend it. This isn’t due to its feature set, which is second to none. It’s because the developers of MyWi haven’t taken any measures to hide tethering from carriers.
During the last year, AT&T and Verizon started cracking down on accounts that showed unauthorized tethering. MyWi was almost always the app that customers who received the notices were using, and the devs haven’t updated it with a stealth mode. It’s a great app, but if it leads to your being forced into a paid tethering plan, there’s no point.
