Hello, if you wish to tether, with AT&T it definitely is an extra charge. Blood you want to do to ask these questions, is make sure you talk to technical support. The sales staff may not understand what you're asking for, and I don't really know if the iPhone supports tethering or not. Although like the last person to post on this subject it does appear that it is technically possible, I'm just curious to know how this might work out. The reason I am curious about this is there is a very strong indication, even from Apple themselves, that the iPhone will eventually come to my carrier which is Verizon, it is unclear as to when this will happen though. Note I'm certainly not giving out any potential inside information, I have no knowledge of anything else beyond the person who I spoke to, nor should this e-mail it I bet Verizon, Apple Inc., or anyone else, have any definite plans to do anything of the sort.
