Hi Guys

I have an unlocked iphone with a simplicty contract, how do i go about enabling edge settings on the 1.1.4 firmware?

Also what settings should i be using, Im finding drabs of info on the net and such but nothing concrete.

The sticky guide only has info for the 1.1.4 firmware and pay as you go users.


Im on a pc btw cheers
 
I don't think you need to do anything. Your iphone will detect that you are using an O2 sim, hence it will hide the "EDGE" menu and use the default contract settings. These should be okay for you. The reason pay&go users have a problem is that the settings are different for them and EDGE is not available.

Cheers
 
Safari appears to be working, so does email.

Also when i use bossprefs it shows an ip address next to edge, so i guess it is working.

Anyway to test the speeds im getting :D

Cheers
 
have just done a speed tested on bandwidthplace.com and got

195.89kilobits per sec.
23.9kilbytes per sec.

does the sound right?
 
Your speeds seem okay to me. The problem then is not with EDGE but with utube. What method did you use to unlock your phone, as I thought all the latest ones included the utube fix? Give google a bash, but search for "utube iphone fix", you should get something. I have a link at home to the fix I used, I'll post it up once I leave work.
 
Do you loose any features using simplicity compared to a locked iPhone on the £35/month contract?

That sounds like a very good deal then if you don't mind unlocking & jailbreaking the phone. So you can get O2 Simplicity Online 25 with the Unlimited Web Bolt On which will give you 1000 texts, 600 minutes, unlimited browsing and no contract period (30 days), is that correct?

Exactly what i have signed up for :D

But if you havent got one of the cheap £169 phones already, good luck finding one :( their out of stock all over the place now. Got the last one for my better half the other day.
 
On the topic of O2's Simplicity contract, is their Online 25 tariff changed to web bolt on, the cheapest "unlimited" Internet access tariff with EDGE available to purchase? :o

There's the Online 15 tariff if you include the web bolt on which is £2.50 cheaper compared to the Online 25 tariff. However you loose more than double minutes and texts which isn't worth it paying £2.50 less :(

I've been looking at O2's PAYG SIM cards but they don't offer EDGE :(
 
ahh well have given up with it for now, hope they resolve it with 2.0, just depends on how long it takes for that to be made sim free i guess lol
