Anybody what's wrong with it? I have the data roaming option on. Installed the t-zone hack. Checked apn to make sure it has wap.voicestream.com.

Still nada. The EDGE icon doesn't even show up next to carrier logo.

Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thanks.

I am having the same problem did you get this resolved?

I think I have found the fix. Good news and bad news.

Good news it requires no finicking with SSH, carrier settings, or anything else in the IPhone.

Bad news is you need to have another "regular" phone that the t-mobile SIM works in and can access TZones or internet with.

1) Take the T-Mobile SIM and put it in to the "other/regular" phone.
2) Turn it ON, and access Tzones/Internet.
3) Browse around for a while.
4) Remove SIM from "other" phone.
5) Put T-Mobile SIM + Turbo SIM into IPhone (don't forget to turn off 3G).

EDGE turned on right away after I did this.

There must be some sort of "activation" of data access on the SIM that the IPhone with the Turbosim can't do. Hope this helps!

what jamba said actually works, just use another phone, play around with t-zones, then place it bak in the iphone 3G with the turbosim and u should see the "E" come out.... make sure 3G is off, add wap.voicestream.com to your APN, and have data roaming on (im not sure if the data roaming ON/OFF makes a difference but thats how i have it and it works).

on my-tmobile, it doesnt even say t-zones, it says t-mobileWeb. is that the same? is it unlimited? i'm about to get my turbo sim, so i want to mak sure i know what to do in case this happens...

[kazach]

This is completely true .
Does anybody now why ??
I how to get around this ?
I don't want to carry to phones so i can have internet.
Thanks

when your edge goes away try turning roaming on and off ... reeboot your phone once every night ...

i've been using turbosim for 4 months now and only once had to take out the sim and use in another phone for internet and that was after when i went abroad and my phone was off for 2 weeks ... and sometimes just pop the tray out dont even take it out all the way just pop it out and put it back in and it works too ...

I'm confused... I have a 3g jailbroken/isim unlocked & have never had an "edge icon" but have no problem connecting to the Internet w/ t-zones proxy hack. I use epc.tmobile.com as my apn & everything works, even youtube. I installed the package for "old edge icon" via Cydia for cosmetic purposes, because the 3g phone is not supposed to have an "edge icon". Its supposed to be "3g". So I don't think not having the icon has anything to do with being connected...

Perhaps there are different versions of turbosim. And one might work better than another. Same thing happens to me once in a while (sometimes days, sometimes weeks). And rebooting won't help. Just have to remove sim and use it on another phone. Then insert it back into iphone.

This will fix "no service" too.

This is very interesting indeed. I never have to install the tzone proxy hack to get my Edge to work. I just have to set apn to epc.tmobile.com and it'll work right away. Whenever the Edge icon disappears, I lose internet since the phone will say that I'm not connected to the internet. Perhaps if you install the proxy hack, it won't matter if the Edge icon is on or not. I'll have to try this

ARE YOU KIDDING ME????

edge icon is on the 3G phone silly.
it shows up when you turn 3G off or u are in an area with no 3G coverage.
but there is defiantely edge in 3G phones.
and there is an edge icon too.
i see it all day.
