Can anyone share your preferences.plist or help me change it for the below. I want to modify it for Doha-Qatar to use Qtel gprs on iPhone v2.0.2.


EDGE/GPRS Settings
APN: gprs.qtel
Username: gprs
Password: gprs
Prompt Password: No
Authentication: Normal
Homepage: Wap.freedom.com.qa
Network Type: IPV4
Phone IP address: Automatic
Name Servers: Automatic
Proxy serv. Address: 10.23.8.3
Proxy Port number: 8080

Thanks a million

Alright, trying to get all of this figured out here. Not exactly dumb with computers but seem to have a problem figuring out this iphone stuff. Running T-Mobile on a pwned 2g 8.0GB running 2.0.2(5C1).

I have the 5.99 Tzone package and nothing else as far as internet packages with T-Mobile. Played around with it some and was able to check my email but thats it. So after coming across these forums and seeing all the success stories I gave it all a shot, uninstalled all of the bigboss tzone hacks and anything associated with setting my APN information. Also, I don't have a Edge settings in my General -> Network. I feel like I followed your steps correctly and still can't get it to work, now it says I'm not connected to a ceullar network. Here is my copy of preferences.plist - Please tell me where I messed up at

Interesting, just decided to start working, connects kinda slow but I guess this will work for now, but if you see anything wrong there or could help out with anything else in regards to it connecting/dling data faster I would greatly appreciate it!

[freshster]

ericldtx,
Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner, but looks like you already got it working.

While my method in this thread should still work perfectly fine, I have decided to start using the epc.tmobile.com APN method. It's just easier because it requires no modification of the preferences.plist file.

[hometownmn]

I have a 2g phone with the 5.99 plan, it seems to work fine, most internet apps work fine, some don't. I am using bigboss tzone hacks, will this method make my iphone internet speed faster?

[vileone]

I have a 2g with the 5.99 plan aswell,,i just cant seem to get this hack to work,,im pretty savy with code and html,,ive jailbroke the phone for tmobile,,ive done the wap. and the epc. trick and nothing at all,,any ideas

Freshster you're a GOD! I can't believe it was that easy! It's been like 2 months since I've had this working and I was lost without the internet and directions on the go. Thanks for the help!

And You Tube works too!

[infamous12550]

Hey freshster I keep having to shut down & reboot to get my connection fired up. Do you think if I went into my plist file & changed the string from wap.voicestream.com to epc.tmobile.com it would work better? In other words changing the plist file to incorporate the new apn setting. Thanks ahead of time.

[omarrufo]

Ive been trying every method online and cant get the edge to work. It comes up if i turn on the data roaming but i dont want to get extra charges. I have the 5.99 tzones and currently i have your method for the 2.0 running. I change the plist and added the required text. i have a 8gb 3g iphone and nothing seems to work. any help greatly appreciated.

Dont worry about any hack.. remove the tzones hack.. Reboot your phone. When it boots back up enter epc.tmobile.com as the APN. Reboot your phone. Everything will work perfect from there on. I have push turned to on,seems to stay connected better.

[omarrufo]

does the tzones plan cover data roaming?

[bluefire13]

After changing the preferences.plist, I have been unable to save my APN. I will enter in wap.voicestream.com go back to settings and go back in to cellular network and my APN isn't there. Any suggestions on what to do? I have iphone 3g jailbroken running 2.1 firmware.

Exactly.
I also recommend this method now.

I am using T-Zones and have never been charged for roaming, even when browsing overseas.

I would recommend resetting your Network Settings.
Then just use the epc.tmobile.com as the APN.

[omarrufo]

so i get the edge symbol but nothing works still?
