Thanks bud for the link & info and the quick reply! :)

anyone got 3g internet blocked and only use wifi, but still got charged for data?

iphone 3G for the way , quality of the phone just amazing

third party application ...

how much money did u get charged?

I don't think the 3g has a software unlock yet (don't quote me on that though). Jailbreak is something totally different that shouldn't affect the phone function itself.

If you're going to take it back to Apple, I'd suggest making sure it's not jailbroken when you bring it in as the practice is generally frowned upon by the folks at Apple. You can do that by just restoring a factory firmware on the device (which it sounds like you've already done).

If it's not detecting a SIM and you know the SIM is good, just have them repair or replace it if it's under warranty. I'm pretty sure the guys at the Apple store will try to send it in if it's not repairable by the guys at the Genius Bar or whatever they call their tech guys at the store. (at least that was the procedure with my Nano when it failed)

When you go back to Apple, bring another GSM phone with you that you can interchange the SIM with to prove it's not your SIM card. That way, they can't blame your card. If they still don't believe you, then take one of their SIM cards and place it into your phone and test it. Don't let them give you the run around...

hey ch28, another n00b question for you before i attempt to do the upgrade to 2.1;
by using that method from that link you sent me, will the phone restore to it's current state right now? meaning, if i upgrade the thing, will i lose everything that's currently installed in the phone? or is there a way of restoring what i currently have? i have done a full backup of the phone one time via itunes which took about 12hrs. look forward to your answer & thanks in advance

I didn't, I was persuading last night whether to add the data plan, but end up getting it. Didn't wanna end up with an expensive bill.

what carrier are you on? the app is call spoofapp under toys i believe in cydia. i tried it out but it appears to only work when i call a landline with it. when i try calling mobiles phones the ids are all blocked. are you fido?

OK, I just got a brand new iPhone 3G 8GB from Fido today. No data plan.
So is there a way to turn it on for the first time now and check my firmware without getting data charges? When I turned it on, it said to plug into iTunes. so the iphone requires activation during the 1st time of use.

I would like this iPhone to work on Rogers. Would I have to unlock it?

If so, before I unlock it, would it matter if I should do the first time activation or not?

Any of you doing tethering on your iPhone 3G's?

12 hour backup?!?! :rofl:

If you sync your phone prior to doing it then you'll still have all your calendar, contacts, notes and programs on there when you're done. All you have to do is re-sync the phone and it'll all get put back on.

Your jailbroken apps (installer/cydia) will disappear but all you have to do is reinstall them.

keep in mind pre 2.1 even if you did a 12 hr backup, if sync your phone after you did the backup and if you cancel any sequential backup when you try to restore you will most likely get a corrupted backup

http://www.pornhub.com for iPhones baby wooooooooooooooo

portable tweakin at it's finest :D

LOL

I'm surprised it took them that long to come out with one. Now you gotta figure out how to save em on your phone

I am rogers,but I am not sure what my friend is on who used this trick on me.

Thanks, just updated a minute ago. Seems faster already.

My biggest peeve was the SMS lag. omgg shoot me.

QUICKGOLD is the best application.. sooo convenient. This is a must have for JB phones.

I had some trouble calling rogers to disable 3g for my phone.

Any recommendations for disabling 3g what works and what doesn't?

one more app to add to my best have jb apps:

Backgrounder:
-keep apps running in the background
-quite stable so far
-combine with insomnia you will get true push notification on IM apps

Backgrounder + insomnia + Beejives = the push solution that apple couldn't implement :)

App Store Apps..

TAP TAP has gotta be the funnest game lol.. addicted.

Hey everyone, just got my Rogers 8gig 3G iphone today, wondering if somone could help me out a bit

so what are some resources for this thing? what can i potentially do? jailbraking?

what are some good app's u guys recomend?

i'm looking to get the most out of my iphone and i'm very computer litterate and can do anything with basic instructions etc.

* Also where can i find a hard plastic case without the stupid leather texture? just plain black hard plastic

^ Read the last couple of pages. All of those questions have been answered damn it

Loving PDAnet...hopefully Fido can't tell.

Can a Fido or Roger rep confirm or deny that tethering is against the TOS?

Your friend probably pick "activate phone" when he did the custom software. When you do that to a provider locked iPhone, it will give you that message. Only way to fix it is to do another custom firmware and NOT pick "activate phone". Try that and it should work again
