Iphone drops tethered connection when phone call comes in
I have just set up Tethering on my Iphone for my laptop internet. Works great by just going into settings and turning on tethering. I can text while tethered, check email, etc. BUT when a phone call comes in, it kicks my phone out of tethered mode and drops my internet connection. After the phone call, I have to go into the settings on the Iphone and turn on tethering again. I use ATT
Why is this happening?
How can I fix this?
If I can't fix it using regular tethering, is there an app that I can buy that will allow for the phone to ring in a call without dropping my internet connection to my laptop.
Thanks!

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
So what version of iOS are you're phone running? Go to Settings > General > About and check version.
If you're running an older version, my suggestion would be to update to the newest version available.
There is no app solution to this issue, nor any other setting you can check, so this is really your only options, besides perhaps jailbreaking and customizing the tethering function (not sure if there is any cydia package for this though, but sounds likely).
Hope this helps.
