FIdo billed me $574.75 for 11.495 KB, funny thing is I only use my iphone with WIFI, and as far as I remember I blocked the data service a couple of years a go, also I've had my iphone since Dec, so why charge me now? does anyone know anything about this?

Thanks

I was charged 120 dollars of data and I only used WIFI BUT I remember I install swirlymms app and set up my edge for Fido but the app never worked and I forgot to disable the EDGE settings and play 1 song with IRadio untill I realized It was using edge(2 mb).
Make sure you go to your edge settins and disable edge or just to be
100 % ,delete the last 1 or 2 letters of your APN under settins/general/network/edge.

Hey thanks first of all, my EDGE its not even set up, I went there and is all blank there is nothing on it, so I dont think it was that..my swirlymms is working but I only used it a couple of times, so dont think that would cost me that much money..

that is a crapload for data charges. i feel bad for you guys since in the US our data in unlimited

Make sure you tell them that you had disable your edge for this very same reason.

Ok man thank you, I will

Ok, guys, I just spoke to a FIDO supervisor,, they argue that the data usage was legit and after 20 minutes talking to the guy he agreed to give me only %25 off the original charge, Im so freaging mad, anyways for all of you out there, just call fido and ask them to put a block on your account for the fido network connection, for some reason one of the apps I installed its connection trough fido, I think is swirlyshit.

Dude,

$574.75 for 11.495 KB

That works out to $50 per megabyte !!!!

THAT IS HUGE !!!!!

In South Africa we get charged R2 (ZAR) / MB, which works out to be about 26c (US) / MB which is quite steep for us!

So $50 per megabyte !!!!!

THAT IS HUGE !!!!!

It would cost me about R23 ($3.05) to download the same amount of data as you did!


P.S. Why is with all of those $25 for unlimited data plans? Why don't you get one of those? ****, after only 500 KB of data you would break even!!! ;-)

listen it is your edge even though it is blank in your settings when ever you lose wifi for even just a second your iphone automatically tries edge but in most countries you have gprs so it will not have to have anything under edge settings because gprs does not require these settings. rather what you need to do is go into installer and find bossprefs and download it. next find it on your springoard open it and switch off edge and let that be it never touch boss prefs again once its set and you will have nothing to worry about.

(by the way im on vodafone in italy and i had the same problem but this fixed it and now i dont lose all my minutes in just a couple of hours.)

Thank you,

Use MIM (Make it Mine) its very simple you just write whatever you want, right now i have it saying AT&T because im on Rogers and rogers never fitted so i thought i'd be classy and keep it as at&t :P
and MIM should be in the installer under utilities

[rpankows]

Thank you gpost2. It worked like magic. I just have one more question please, can I actually put an image there instead of the writing?

Thanks,
