I didn't notice the visual VM was not working until today...after having enabled tethering 3 weeks ago. I called AT&T and after about 25 mins with customer service then 45 mins with tech support, neither could figure out the problem. Before stopping at an ATT store to test my SIM I checked back on here to see if it was related to enabling tethering. Thanks so much for posting this!!! On a side note, I'm really bewildered that the tech support guy didn't ask what my settings in the "Cellular Data" menu were, that would have cleared everything up. Man, you totally saved me on this.

Right now I have both working without that settings change. Tethering came in very handy yesterday when my Comcast cable was out for several hours. I find my voicemail seems to work pretty randomly.

If you set IPhone up to be able to tether (following the instructions posted at top of this page), the Visual Voicemail APN in Cellular Data" settings is set to wap.cingular and tethering is enabled but now Visual Voicemail doesn't work. To re-enable VM, you have to reset the VM APN in "Cellular Data" settings to acds.voicemail. At this point, now VM works but not internet tethering. To get both of them to work at the same time at this point, click "Reset Settings" at bottom of the Cellular Data settings window. The VM APN is reset back to wap.cingular but now internet tethering and Visual Voicemail work at the same time. After a short time (10 minutes or so) Visual Voicemai will stop working. You'll then need to reset the VM APN setting back to acds.voicemail for VM to work again. Even though they don't work at the same time for long, this is still an easy way to switch back and forth between using Visual Voicemail or tethering.

The directions were clear and complete. It worked right off just the like instructions said it would. Works and looks just like an official AT&T tethering enabled update probably would. I have a IPhone 3GS and now don't have to wait for the "official" AT&T tethering enabled update. I just wonder about any possible additional AT&T IPhone tethering charges, as a previous comment pointed out. I didn't see any "additional charges may apply" warning on IPhone or on my Mac when using tethering. Probably a good idea to check your latest AT&T IPhone charges statement online to make sure about any possible tethering charges! That was truly awesome. The directions were clear and complete.
