How to get cellular data network settings on iPhone OS 3.0?

Saturday, February 13th, 2010

in settings/general/network i do not have the cellular data network tab – i am on an jailbroken/unlocked iPhone 2G running on the official carrier in my country and i want to disable cellular data network as it is expensive, but i would like to have mms

GO to cydia. DL the APN editing package. Go to unlockit.co.nz and choose your carrier. It will install a profile that changes your APN setting to your carrier.

Tutorial – iPhone 3G and 3GS 3.0 and 3.0.1 Internet Tethering – NO JAILBREAK!

Monday, February 8th, 2010

—–UPDATE (12/22/09)—–
AT&T has threatened to put a limit on their UNLIMITED data plan to 5GB/month. Heavy tethering users (such as myself) WILL GET DATA OVERAGE CHARGES if this is put into effect. YOU USE TETHERING AT YOUR OWN RISK.

DO NOT UPGRADE YOUR OS! YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DO THIS TETHERING TRICK ON ANY OS OTHER THAN 3.0 AND 3.0.1!

Please read the following before you begin.

This video tutorial will show those who wish to get internet tethering on their iPhone 3G or 3GS with OS version 3.0 and 3.0.1, without having to jailbreak their device. This is a free modification to your iPhone.

Internet tethering enables you to connect your iPhone to your computer/laptop and use the internet connection from AT&T’s 3g network. This allows you to have an internet connection for your laptop anywhere that WiFi is not available, but 3G or EDGE is.

-This DOES NOT give you “free internet.” There is no such thing.
-This DOES NOT add any charges to your phone bill, however it is recommended that you have the unlimited data plan to prevent data overage charges. I am not responsible for extra data charges to your phone bill!

—If you still don’t understand what this modification will do for you, do not attempt.—

Will 4g phones change the world ?

Sunday, January 17th, 2010

4g phones with service means mobile video conferencing ! Right now only sprint has 4g phones in the USA but Verizon plans to have a new 4g iPhone released in summer 2010 with 4g service in 25 cities and 4g coverage on the whole network by 2013.
it may not stop world hunger but if someone has a 4g phone with an internet connection they can show the world what they are doing and what they are going through anywhere with a network carrier ! Think about the ramifications of seeing and hearing anyone, anything anywhere !

what do you mean by change the world?
It’s not gonna stop world hunger.

what is a 3G network and what makes on better then the other? Don’t all the carriers have 3G networks?

Monday, November 16th, 2009

I keep seeing Sprint commercials saying they have the only 3g network..but, then I saw a Verizon commercial saying the same thing. Why does it matter and what the heck is it?

3G allows customers of 3G optimized networks with 3G compatible phones to surf the internet on the phones faster, and allows for somewhat better phone service/call quality.

It matters only if use the internet on your phone regularly.

Sprint is not the only carrier with 3G. AT&T, Verizon and others have 3G service. Please do not forget that commercials are aimed to glorify the company and/or its product and usually hide the truth.

The whole 3G craze was boosted when the new iPhone 3G came out. It is not that dire to have.

Does MetroPcs support Quadband: GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 MHZ 2G Network?

Friday, November 6th, 2009

Hi all, thanks for your answers in the past.
I am looking into buying a very cool phone on eBay and I am trying to find out if it will work with my MetroPcs account that I currently am using an activated working ZTE C79 phone.
The seller of the phone I want to buy and switch my service to sent me the following answer when I asked him if the phone will work with MetroPcs;
"you could contact your carrier first. If your carrier supports GSM 850/900/1800/1900 frequency, then it could work…This is a GSM mobile phone.(not 3 g or cdma network phone) Please make sure your network is compatible with GSM.."
I HAVE ALREADY CALLED MetroPcs and ASKED THEM this and THEY CANNOT ANSWER this question…..unbelievable…they say only "bring the phone to your nearest corporate store and ask them if the phone can be transfer service to.." RIDICULOUS!
I will NOT BUY NOR POSSES this phonw UNTIL AFTER I find out if it will work with MetroPcs.
Do you know if MetroPcs uses the above mentioned GSM frequency as stated by the seller of the phone I want…. GSM 850/900/1800/1900 frequency? Does metropcs support this frequency?
Note: The phone I want is UNLOCKED.
Thank you in advance if you know the answer…have a good day!
P.S. Please see below you can copy and paste the link to the phone I want on eBay if you want to view it;
