Does anyone know of a relieable way of using iphone as a modem for a macbook whilest out and about using 3G / Edge? For those times when wireless is unavailable?

I actually ran into this problem a few months ago and I called at&t. They said it doesn't support bluetooth modem connections. I was pretty shocked. I guess they're trying to sell more of those laptop cards. :(

I found another article that explains how to do it but you have to jail break the phone first.

yeah, I did read there's a way of tethering a connection though but I don't fully understand it - seemingly it works though

There was an app that came out called Netshare that allowed you to setup your phone as a tether to the internet. Unfortunately apple yanked it quickly and it has never returned. I think jailbreaking is your only chance.

What's risky about jailbreaking? It's so easy these days. And it's 100% reversible.
Never tried that, but looks like what you've been looking for:
