help me out! here
i got a iphone 3g with the latest update 2.2.1 n its jail broken, i want to put my tmobile sim card from my sidekick the only problem is that the internet doesnt work n the mms using swirlymms. i changed my sidekick plan to a unlimited web n messages for 34.99, would it work with that plan on my iphone, n what settings do i need to change to make it work???
i could receive/send texts n make/receive calls only.
oh yea iam using a ismartphone sim unlock card.
have they been able to unlock 2.2.1 version yet without using a sim unlock card??

You have to change the APN.
With that internet plan, use internet2.voicestream.com.
If you wanted to use the sidekick plan, use hiptop.t-mobile.com

Are you able to get voice? I ask only because you may have updated the modem firmware too high. (I dont know off the top of my head what you should have, but if you DO get voice we can eliminate the possibility of a too far upgraded firm.

yes iam able to call n receive calls, sms only no mms using swirly mms, no internet,i have 2.2.1 n 02.30.03 modem, the only way i found to make this work is by turning roaming on, i havent found no other better way to fix this.
yes, but the only way i found to making this work on a 2.2.1 02.30.03 modem is by turning on data roaming, but i want to know if by doing this would i get charge extra for roaming.Last edited by wesk1; 02-23-2009 at 04:50 AM. Reason: Automerged Doublepost

You have to turn data roaming on or it wont work. You dont get charged for roaming unless you roam in another country. I decided to go with the prepaid sidekick plan this weekend since it will cost me about the same if not less and ill have unlimited SMS/MMS.
APN: hiptop.t-mobile.com
User: dummy
Pass: dummy
Now I just need to figure out how to get MMS working and ill be set.Last edited by MikesTooLz; 02-23-2009 at 05:22 PM.
