Woke up this morning to this message:

"Could not activate cellular data network. You are not subscribed to a cellular data service."

I am using a BlackBerry Data Plan. Has anyone been successful reactivating the network on iPhone 3G firmware 3.1? Could they be so kind to share the process? I found this link below that indicates APN changes, however I'm not sure if this work with iPhone 3.1 (or if I need to downgrade to 3.0).

Thank you.

Does the BlackBerry still get data?
 
Have not checked

I'd imagine so. I have not tried though because I lent a friend my blackberry. I'm on a corporate BlackBerry data plan.

Well... If you used to get data on the iPhone you can try to call up AT&T and ask why you got the message and ask what changed but not mention the iPhone at all. :D See if you can get them to tell you what got switched and then ask the person to switch it back by playing naiive. :D
 
Thanks. I'll try that. I was more thinking about how to hack around it with a jailbreak APN # change. Any ideas?
 
I have the AT&T MediaNet data plan and the same message comes up on the stock carrier file.

Go here:

Follow those instructions to install the carrier file. That SHOULD work unless the Blackberry plan uses different settings than all other AT&T devices (iPhones use the same settings, they just have disabled non-iPhone data plans on unaltered firmware with some wizardry).
