Fido with 2.0

[rdwalsh]

their main concern was that it is only available on 3 year contract. I just simply said it didn't note that on the fido website. Guy put me on hold, came back and said I've only been on for 5 mths of my current agreement, and if they change the start date to today, then they can do it, just can't cancel yet. So I said okay, and they did it.

So another fido question. Supposedly you can get a 3 year contract for voice only and no data. Is there any way to turn the iPhone's EDGE and 3G off completely so you don't get charged for pay as you go internet.

Just get fido to deactivate edge on your account. But I believe you can on the phone as well, I'm restoring to 1.1.4 so I cannot check right now.

If you use Big Boss prefs it can totally disable edge settings, or you can just amke sure not to enter any edge network settings in the preferences.

New Note, FIDO WILL NOT replace SIM CARD if you upgrade please WAIT PWNAGE TOOL for 2.0. AS well, after most recent post last night, my phone no longer recieves fido service on the iPhone plan. I called in, they said I cannot have the associated data plan "6GB" on the first gen phone, and it will cause the phone to not work if I keep it. I am testing this theory tonight, to see if I can run the fix for no service. If that doesn't work. I will let you all know.

BTW trying to reach FIDO during normal business hours is almost pointless. Around 1-2 PM MST on average takes 5-7 minutes.

Alright just PWNED my iPhone 1st Gen, and the service is back. woot woot. Now just waiting for first bill after switching to 6GB plan to see if it still does work. Will keep posted. Now lets get iPWNAGE for 2.0 out!
