Tethering !! This is so much fun and useful @ some occasions. Basically, tethering is using your iPhone internet connection on you Mac/Pc over Bluetooth or Cable. Yess, you can share your 3G Broadband Internet on your phone with your Computer. Currently as far as i know, only DU allows for this option. Etisalat currently does not support it but correct me if i am wrong.
You can find this option in Settings > General > Network > Internet Tethering.
So for all you guys with 3G Activated on you phone, happy tethering !!

Ok, so now you have done the basic stuff. Now you want those freaky apps your friends were talking about, you want them badly …. how to get there ?
So, the thing is that you need to buy these applications from Apple’s AppStore. To get there you need to make an account. Most people want to start free
right -
Ill show you how to create an AppStore account without any credit card, here is how :
In order to create an account without a credit card, you must make sure you are in the App Store, not the iTunes Store.
- If you already have an account, choose Store > Sign Out.
- Pick your country from the pop-up menu at the bottom of the iTunes Store homepage.
- If your country also has an iTunes Store, you’ll need to navigate to the App Store by clicking on the App Store link from the menu on the left. If not, proceed to step 4.

- Important: Before proceeding to the next step, you must purchase a free application by clicking ‘Get App’.

- Click create new account.

- Click Continue.
- You’ll need to read and agree to the iTunes terms and conditions, make sure you check the box next to where it says “I have read and agree to the iTunes Terms and Conditions.” Click Continue.
- Enter your email address, create your password, continue to create and answer your security question, then enter your birthday. Click Continue.
- Select None as the payment option.

- Continue to fill out the required name and address fields.
- You’ll then see a screen that says ‘Verify your Account’. Click Done and then check your email for a verification email from iTunes Store.
- Open the email and click on the link enclosed in the email to activate your account.

- Once you click on the link, iTunes should then prompt you to sign in with your account name and password.
- You’ll then see the below “Congratulations” screen. Click Done to be taken to the App Store home page.

EDGE : First Thing You need to STOP !! On your iPhone.
EDGE is a 3G like service that is slower than 3g. The problem is that it is activated on every sim by default and if you donot have wifi nearby and you have not yet subscribed to 3g, YOU ARE GOING TO ENDUP WITH BILL for that EDGE usage.
This is mistake most people commit and regret, so did I !! But i dont want you to repeat the same.
To disable EGDE on your iPhone do the following :
Step 1 : Settings/General/Network and turn off >Enable 3g and >Data Roaming
Step 2 : Go to www.iphonenodata.com on your iphone and Click on Disable Edge/3G
Step 3 : Install the requested application.
Step 4 : No step 4 yaar !!
So Every one wants an iPhone 3g Huh !!
Ok, STOP. I know you want an iPhone, everyone does ! For all those Nokia, LG, Samsung, Sony Ericsson users i know how you feel when you look at some one with an iPhone using the touch-screen and how you feel when you look at your phone the very next moment. Welcome to the Gang !
I had been longing for an iPhone since it was first launched for the world to be consumed. But ill be frank, i dint wanna put it AED3K for a new Apple product as i have been a long time Mac user and i know that its better to wait for new revisions of a new product to come out.
I finally bought an iPhone 3GS 32GB a couple of days back and haven’t slept since
!!
This Blog is all bout the issues i have faced and will face with the iPhone 3GS and the Etisalat and Du as the Carriers and posting solutions and recommendations for it !!
