Which Dutch provider allows tethering on prepaid?
 
Hi:)
I've got simlock free not jailbreaked 3G with 3.1.2. I don't want to jailbreak it. And I need tethering.
When I use it with Polish provider ERA GSM prepaid simcard, I've got tethering. I don't need to install any profiles. But with Dutch T-Mobile prepaid card, tethering disappears. So I reckon, that T-Mobile NL somehow blocks tethering. I have tried to installing many profiles that I've found on this forum. None of them has helped.
My question is. How to enable tethering? Or which other Dutch provider doesn't block tethering on prepaid plan?

Thx in advance for help.

You have to find a proper .IPCC file which will give you the tethering option back for your dutch provider. You can install the .IPCC file via iTunes. Try to search the forum here for the .IPCC file and how to load this via iTunes.

I hope that you understand dutch enough to find your way here on this forum ;)

@scorpiosoft:
Thx. But I'm still stuck.
Dowloaded TMobile_nl.ipcc from 3-0-tethering-aanzetten topic. But I can't upload it to my iPhone. In iTunes I do option+Update. Then iTunes wants me to choose file. But I can't choose ipcc file type. Only ipsw is allowed. Maybe it is because I have 3.1.2, and iTunes wants me to update to 3.1.3?
Earlier I have also been testing T-Mobile NL mobileconfig profile. Tethering option wasn't available. Even thought this downloaded profile was the only profile installed in the phone. And the phone was restarted.

You can't upload the file because Apple avoid that in iTunes. I've no idea (sorry) how to put your IPCC file on your iPhone, I've got KPN/HI and with that provider works help.benm.at perfectly. (no prepaid)

Hi King1987, thx for Your replay. So should I buy Hi prepaid with "Eindeloos Online" packet to have tethering?

If you have a Windows PC, you can enter the following in your command screen:

"C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.exe" /setPrefInt carrier-testing 1

For Mac users, you have to search the web ;)

@scorpiosoft:
Thx. For Mac is have found the following instruction:

Citaat:

Enabling IPCC Updates for iTunes:
iTunes 8.2 or iTunes 9 won’t allow you to apply the carrier file updates so you need to follow these steps:

MAC OS X:

1. Close iTunes.
2. Open Terminal (Applications > Utilities > Terminal).
3. Run the command: defaults write com.apple.iTunes carrier-testing -bool TRUE
I will try it in the evening and report the results here.

Hi guys,
TMobile_nl.ipcc is installed. iPhone restarted. Still no tethering.
When I go to Settings -> General -> Network I have got new option "Cellular Data Network". But that's all. I've tried without any profiles, and with profile from T-Mobile NL mobileconfig.
