Where to set GPRS/EDGE settings?

[maximus06]

A dumb question, but I can't find where to set the GPRS or EDGE settings to use mobile internet (server, user, password etc. provided by your wireless provider).

I looked under setting -> general -> network, but that only had wi-fi and VPN. Uhm am I missing something here?

Thanks.

EDIT: this is the original iphone, os 2.0.1

If you're using a SIM card from an approved carrier these settings are hidden.

My carrier is not "approved" I don't think. I'm using the original iphone, unlocked, in Canada (it wasn't even sold here).

So...?

No replies? How is anyone using their wireless internet on unlocked phones, without setting the GPRS settings?

So the phone is jailbroken? What provider are you using?

It is jailbroken & unlocked. Using Rogers Wireless (Canada).

Settings -> General -> Network -> Cellular Data Network

Settings -> General -> Network -> Cellular Data Network

Which doesn't appear if you're using what is now an approved carrier.

You can edit the plist in your carrier's preference bundle if you SSH into the phone. The correct path is

/System/Library/Carrier Bundles/

Find your carrier, go into the bundle and download the Carrier.plist file. Edit it so that it reads

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>AllowEDGEEditing</key>
<true/>
<key>BookmarkURLs</key>
<array>
<dict>

At the beginning. The bold part is what you need to add in.

Hopefully this works.

Thanks for the reply! I did what you said, but the carrier.plist file contains a bunch of gibberish (as well as readable text). So I don't think pasting that in would work.

Found a great tutorial on how to enable EDGE settings here: http://news.metaparadigma.de/?p=29

Thanks a lot for bringing me onto the right track
