Iphone Tethering?

[MichaelXX2]

I was looking through the compatibility list of USB devices for the Pandora, and I noticed it said the iPhone 3GS would be a source of internet for it. What I'd like to know is, do I need to jailbreak an iPhone to get it to provide internet over 3G to my Pandora, (or a tethering plan, but who uses those?) or can I just plug it in and it'll start working? I've also read about the Huawei E160E, how exactly would I go about getting it to work?

I did it with an iphone and bluetooth, didnt get it working over USB but that doesnt mean it is impossible, it just means I gave up once I got tethering working with bluetooth.

But what I'm asking is, do I need to do anything special to the phone to get it to tether 3G data?

I didnt need anything special. My plan has no restrictions regarding tethering. Enable bluetooth on both devices, find and add them to each other and then enable tethering on the 3GS. The connection comes up in the network manager on the pandora and you are done.

Sounds like a plan to me. I'll be sure to test this once I get a Pandora. It'll be nice to do it wirelessly, too. I had no idea you could tether over Bluetooth.
