This is more of a curiosity on my part thing, but the Blue side of the Old Cingular is still around? And they are still supporting service plans and such? I would have thought they would have migrated you over a long time ago. If not made you, made you want to by discontinuing support and such. Also, don't flame me, I am honestly curious, why not migrate to the Orange side... which I guess has turned blue. Lol.

Let me see if I can answer this.
Yes, The blue network is still around. The coverage is good. They use their own towers and T-mobile towers. They would love to force us off of our plans because they are cheap with a lot of minutes. As far as AT&T discounting anything to get us over to orange, are you kidding me they treat us like second class citizens! They just want us to go away! That is why this community is so important to us "Blue Customers".

Here are the reasons I stay blue:

1) More minutes for less money.
2) Don't have to sign new two year agreement.
3) Keep my corporate discount.
4) And after the poor treatment they have given me as a blue account it feels good to keep getting the best phones at the best rates!

There is still no EDGE setting but it saved the proxy. Strange but worked. Customer had mMode $24.99 plan. I thought it was to good to be true, so I turned phone off and on and settings stuck.

Good Luck to the rest of the Blue Team!

Strangely, this works for me too. So no need to mess around with iphone files! Wifi, Youtube, and everything else works just like normal! I'm pleasantly surprised how easy it is to set up iphone to use mmode. But right after that, I installed BossPrefs so I can turn on, turn off Edge whenever I want (I read somewhere that somebody was not aware of this that he unknowningly left Edge on and even though he didn't use the internet, at the end of the month his bill jacked up to $4,200!! So, I don't want this happen to me.)

I am a blue customer and I just bought a 1st gen iPhone w/updated firmware version 2.0

Is there anyway to use my AT&T Blue SIM chip in this device or must I upgrade?

What about cloning blue SIM to a newer SIM? Do I need to unlock.


Thanks,
dan

you should be able to use it. may need to unlock it though.

[yoonix]

how will this effect syncing in itunes?

[phattbam]

I dont know if the 2.0 has anything new to it. but the previous FW's did not have any issues with iTunes after unlocking.

Have you tried putting your old blue SIM in it?

[yoonix]

my old blue sim yes and itunes says its incompatible...of note, this is a 1st gen iphone that has a de-activated 3g sim in it and so it has been activated at one point it functions just like an ipod touch...i have wifi and full access to the device but of course without the phone aspect.

[teamrev]

I would just wait until the new Pwange tool comes out. Then unlock jailbreak and you should be able to use your old blue sim in the phone.

I'm an old AT&T wireless guy (is that what you all mean by "Blue customers"?) Anyhow, why would you want to use mMode over EDGE? I'm new to the iPhone data plans (but do have a touch ), so please be gentile...

FWIW, I am wanting to pick up a couple of old iPhones and use my blue sims in them (2 line, family plan).

[phattbam]

^^ I have 'Blue'. my rate plan is better than what they offer to me now. yeah EDGE is slower than 3g but with the rates they are charging, I'll stick with EDGE. If I needed to surf that fast on a phone, I would invest in a laptop wireless card and use a laptop.

[adonisxtreme]

I am thinking one should be able to get 3g speeds with the 3g iphone with a blue sim because it is using the same network. I know using a Samsung blackjack and blue sim allows 3g.

To anyone who gets the 3g iphone working with their blue plan, let me know the details and if it is the same process as the edge iphone.

[DanielNTX]

This still works with the 2.0 firmware. The carrier bundles are now under: /System/Library/Carrier Bundles/ You can move the unknown bundle to the ATT bundle and then use the APN proxy.

Here are the steps:

You basically need to modify one file and add a new file.

*** Before you do anything, turn your WIFI OFF on your iphone *****

The only way I know to connect to my iPhone is through wifi SSH using Fugu. If I'm supposed to turn WIFI off, how am I supposed to access these files?

While I can't speak to the iPhone, despite what numerous ATT folks have told me when I put my old blue sim (which has an unlimited $45 data plan on it -- they don't make that anymore ) into a data card, I get 3G speeds.
