Optus Tethering on iPhone OS 3.1.2
There is now a simple way to enable tethering on the iPhone 3G/3Gs using Optus without paying extra. Now if you do happen to get charged I take no responsibility.
Your iPhone must be JailBroken. Add http://apt.iphone-storage.de as a source in Cydia, then search for Tethering and install the one corresponding to your iPhone (Tethering 3G – 3.1.2 or Tethering 3GS – 3.1.2).
Once installed, reboot then open Safari and navigate to http://justynsmith.info/mobileconfig/au_optus.mobileconfig and install the mobileconfig file. Once installed you should be able to go to Settings > General > Networking > Tethering (on/off).

Enable tethering on iPhone 3G & 3Gs 3.1.2
So you want to know how to enable tethering on 3.1.2 well it’s not as hard as you think. You will need access to a version of OS X that has bspatch installed. I’m not sure which version as I’m not a mac fan.
You will need either of these:
You will need to install MobileTerminal (available in Cydia) and also OpenSSH (from Cydia) if you plan to copy the files via SSH. I used i-FunBox just to make it easier.
Enable Tethering and disable Group MMS on Optus iPhone
As most of you know that are using iPhone OS 3.0 when you sent a text to multiple recipients it sends it as an MMS. This can be quite frustrating for the recipients as they may not use MMS.
What I have done is created an Optus carrier update (based of the one from Apple dated 20090612) which you can download which disables the group MMS option and also enables tethering using “yesinternet” as the APN and adds the “yes optus” carrier logo instead of just saying “optus”. Just a warning that you may be charged for tethering, I can’t guarantee you wont be.
