For all those Windows Phone 7 users who are deprived of USB tethering, here is a simple solution that will allow them to utilize the device as an Internet gateway or other devices’ access points.

This solution, however, is intended for Samsung Focus and bears some risk factors such as breach of terms of AT&T. But AT&T did bear with iPhone tetherers prior to official launching of the attribute. In case of limited data plan for AT&T, users looking for USB tethering onto their Samsung Focus phones can be overcharged for downloading media via torrent or YouTube.

Users will have to follow the below stated eight steps to unlock USB tethering feature on their Samsung Focus handset.

The very first step is the installation of Zune software on PC. Then, the users should dial ##634# without connecting the Samsung Focus handset. On doing so, the screen displays a diagnostics mode. Users need not pay no attention to it and continue to dial *#7284#.

Users, after that, should switch to ‘Modem, Tethered Call’ and wait till the phone restarts. Now, users can connect their Samsung Focus handset to their PC through USB cable and wait till the essential drivers are installed. After complete installation process is over, the users should go either to Network and sharing Center or to the Control Panel to check the settings of the modem of Samsung.

After this, a series of adjustments will follow. Users have to set the number as *9***1# and the username as WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM. Users should set the password to CINGULAR1. Once all the settings are correct, users can press the ‘Connect’ button. In case, users opt for syncing Zune software over USB, they should go back to diagnostics mode. The next step would be to switch to Zune Sync back again.

If users want to spare themselves from these steps and like to have USB tethering feature effortlessly, they should wait for the upcoming update for Windows Phone 7. The official update will be hassle-free and wouldn’t need your understanding the nitty-gritty’s of the task. Also, the official update will be legal. But to avail of the official update, users will have to spend extra bucks.
