iphone data settings for trinidad!!

[iphonejunkie08]

Hey does anybody know the correct configurations to get a data plan to work on the iphone in trinidad???? For bmobile or digicel

[confucious]

Aren't they both part of LIME now? I believe the APN is just 'internet' (no quotes) with no username or password.

ok thanks!!! ill surely try it in a few weeks wen i get to trini!!! But one more question i must use a data sim right?? in order to use the internet via safari??

[confucious]

It uses data but any GSM SIM is a data SIM - I'm not quite sure what you mean?

[iphonejunkie08]

I mean must i have a post paid plan with data for the internet to work on the iphone???

[confucious]

I have no idea in Trinidad - it's certainly not the case here in the UK

Ok cool thanks!!!

I am actually in Trinidad and the answer is yes a data sim is necessary.
For tstt bmobile the apn in indeed 'internet' and the apn for digicel is 'web.digiceltt.com' no username or password in both cases. A pre paid blackberry plan would give you data that would work on the iphone, so post paid in not absolutely necessary.

I am also on lime/bmobile u will have to get internet package as the blackberry plan is only for BB but will check bro in law who works for them to see wha he says

Blackberry plan carries data. It also carries information specific for bb services such as bb messenger. However it is the only data available for pre paid in Trinidad. It WILL work on the iphone, i use it all the time. It may not be cost effective since you'll be paying for bb services that will not work on the iphone. It makes sense only if its short term since the bb pre paid can be done weekly.

ok here we have internet packag $4 for 5megs and the packages goes up but havent check wha the current prices are.

Cause BB internet package is $40us. For here it depend on how much u download to be cost effective
