I just got tethering and MMS working on my iPhone on the AT&T network without jailbreaking it.
tethering is cake, MMS is a little harder, but heres a guide to do both at the same time:

note: when I tried downloading the ipcc file to update it, my mac automatically extracted it to a folder called 'payload,' if this happens you need to compress that folder back into a zip file and rename it ATT_US.ipcc
LIES: I still haven't been able to tether over bluetooth, but USB works fine, for some reason my phone won't connect to my computer over bluetooth.
^disregard that, I suck cocks. bluetooth tethering works perfect if you do it right lol (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2756)
Some people have been saying this can affect your visual voicemail, but it works fine for me, so YMMV.
notes on enabling MMS:
you need a second AT&T phone to do it, just the phone, not a sim card or plan for it.
you basically need to trick at&t into thinking your no longer using the iPhone, for me it was easy since I'm on a family plan and that eliminates half the steps, but it's doable for anyone with decent social engineering skills
to mods: apologies if this is a no-no, I know hacks kind of walk a thin line in the apple world, but I don't really see anything wrong with this, considering it's AT&T, not apple, blocking it for "technical reasons" when it works perfectly fine
