Just came across a solution for how to enable mMode with legacy ATT Wireless SIM on an unlocked 2.0 iPhone ...

APN Changer

This bypasses any need to edit config files on the device. It sends a service message to the phone using standard APIs.

No affiliation. Just tried it, and it worked! I also paid the author $10NZ for the help :-)

I don't know what forum I first read this fix on, but it's slightly changed for the latest firmware update (it seems the file directories are rearranged a bit). This got my mMode unlimited working, but not with text messages. If anyone can get text messages please still post that.

This fix is incredibly simple and doesn't require any file editing, just one copy/move.

Go to /System/Library/Carrier Bundles

At the bottom is a list of all the different carriers. By default, the iPhone is using the carrier.plist file from "ATT US" or something like that. So you have to replace it to match an unknown carrier. Fortunately, in the "Carrier Bundles" directory, there's a folder called "unknown carrier"! Just copy the carrier.plist file from this folder and use it to replace the one in the AT&T folder. You can make a backup of the old AT&T one if you want, but I have yet to find any use for it.

Hope this works for you as easily as it did for me.

If you tried installing the APN changer from APN Changer, you'll have to deactivate it in Settings->General->Network first.

THanks !!!!!
I have installed this, but not tested it yet (still busy on WIFI.) Im hoping this is good !

Any way to get MMS working?

SMS/text messaging did not work when I tried.

[WhateversClever]

no cobra, I did in fact mean sms was not working.

[phattbam]

SMS just worked after a day of constant testing

This is not working out for me.
I am a blue ATT and I was using Edge just fine until upgraded to 2.0.2

MMODE SETINGS ON 2.0.2

Hello everyone.
I tried the old fashion way and it worked just fine.

Apply preferences.plist to this directory Library/Preferences/SystemConfigurations

Apply the Proxy.pac file still on the same folder Private/var/root

[phattbam]

thanks for posting, I'm sure a few of the old Blue users would like that

Excuse me for being a little slow, but your way sounds exciting and I don't completely get it:

Where do I get the preferences.plist and Proxy.pac to put in the directories you describe? I need to know where from AND where to, to understand a motion. Thanks a lot for posting though, us Blue users need to stick together

You will need to go back to the first page of this post. It starts by telling you how to make the proxy.pac file etc. Read thru all of the post and you should have it by the time you are done. There a a couple programs you need when you start moving files around.

Hello, I have the old Iphone with version 2.0.2. I am an old ATT Blue customer with unlimited MMODE. I used winpwn to upgrade to 2.0.2.
I am happy to see that we old Blue customers can still use 2G service but I have a problem and I need help. After updating to 2.0.2 it appears that no text editors are available for windows users. I followed the steps using winscp but the files I edit keep reverting back. Mobile Finder and and Mobile Text editor do not work anymore. Does anyone have any ideas on how to edit these files using a Windows PC or a program I can install on my Iphone that works on 2.0.2?

Thanks.

Why don't u use TEXTPAD and SSH it to your iPhone?

I have an iPhone which i unlocked with pwnage and upgraded to 2.2. My old ATT sim card works fine for calls and texts, but no data service - says i don't have a data plan (i do have mmode plan).. I have read these post but am still a newbie and want to know what the newest method is for getting the data plan to work on this OS.
Also, I'm on a Mac, so the details of how to use for windows don't help me.

My installer on my iphone doesn't seem to find the files mentioned in the previous posts. I'm assuming a lot of this material is old. But I'm not finding the programs mentioned in Installer. I don't know how to modify files on the phone (all newbie admissions)

Any guidance kindly appreciated.

It is not the iphone, it is your SIM,(try your sim on a Nokia phone, you might find no data service either). I had the same issue. You just need to tell AT&T to replace your SIM card. The new sim you get should work.
