Does anyone know if custom tethering / mms profiles (benm.at and unlockit.co.nz, etc) are stored on the phone, sim card, or computer synced to the phone? (Im sure its phone, but I need clarification).

These may seem like stupid questions but ill explain why. I was having MMS problems after the 25th. I got a new phone, still had the problem. Got a new sim card, still had the problem. Was running 3.0 / 3.0.1 / 3.1 and had the problem. When I got my new phone I had restored multiple times and set up as new phone every time.

Then just today I realized I had a profile installed from unlockit.co.nz (which ONLY changed the APN of network settings). Im confused because I got my new phone last week, and since it was on 3.0.1 I had no need to install a profile (with tethering) since I would have just used help.benm.at.

Now, yes, it is possible that I could have installed a profile in the last week but I seriously dont remember doing that. I have removed the profile, however tethering is still installed.

I dont understand how after a new phone, new sim card, multiple restores, multiple network resets, and multiple firmware versions, a profile would be installed that was installed on 3.1.
