JuneFabrics has released a significant update to their PdaNet tethering app for iPhone which lets you hide your tethering usage from carriers.
AT&T has recently begun messaging customers that use tethering without being on a 'tethering' plan to warn them that they will be auto-enrolled in the costlier plan if they don't stop tethering to other devices.
What's New In This Version: ● Adds an option to hide your tethering usage. ● Now allows multiple WiFi connections. ● Rewritten to give you the max performance possible. Also fix a few crashes from previous releases.
You can download PdaNet from Cydia. It costs $15.95 for a limited time.
To identify illegal tethering, AT&T looks at the type of packets hitting its network; any packet that doesnt come from an iPhone is checked and warnings are then sent to the offenders informing them they must cease their wrongdoing or be billed for their use.
