It works well?

I need to check it out... I have a Verizon MiFi that is $60/month and I don't use it all that much (company lets me expense it, but still...)

Just tried it, doesn't seem to work. I connect, get an IP, and can ping the phone, but pinging out to the net just dies.

Make sure you re-start your phone after you install. It works perfectly for me but I did have to re-start the phone once I installed it.

Wow, pretty big difference....

I wasn't able to use Mywi using the the WiFi network the iPhone creates. I was only able to using tethering using Bluetooth. I have a PowerBook & I turned Airport on. I see the computer to computer network and connect to it. After I join the network created by the iPhone I'm not able to get on the internet on my Powerbook. Did I miss something?

Got it to work.

The speeds are pretty good & consistent. Awesome app. Worth the $9.99!!

So this app basically turns the iPhone into a wireless router through Edge/3G?

[juls1585]

for limited use this app is amazing.

yes fz1dave it turns your iphone into a wireless hotspot

[fz1dave]

Dowloaded it a few minutes ago, set it up... unbelievable is all I can say.

I just hope I'm not gonna get nailed with extra fees by AT&T. If all this is ever gonna cost is ten bucks, well... that's just unreal.

So far this is the best app I have ever seen!

[juls1585]

i would use it sparingly for sure and you should be ok. but it is pretty awesome

[fz1dave]

So does that mean there are extra fees, or are you talking about battery usage or something else when you say sparingly?

[juls1585]

i wouldnt set it up and use it as a wifi source everyday. if your data is insanely high at&t is going to notice. but if you use it once in awhile then im sure they wouldnt catch on

[besweeet]

Ehh... Was close to getting this, but don't want any of that Rock crap. I'm happy with native tethering.

[fz1dave]

What is this crap you speak of?
