The iPhone 4 and unlockit.co.nz

I need a few people to test unlockit.co.nz from their iPhone 4. I have heard that it doesn’t work properly at all (maybe a bug in the OS for the iPhone 4).

If you have either a Carrier unlocked iPhone (say from the UK) or a Carrier locked iPhone (from the USA) can you please try my website.

What I need is the syslog when you are installing it. Download the iPhone Configuration Utility from http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/enterprise/

Run and with your iPhone connected try and install the file from unlockit. There will be an option in the program to see the syslog/log.
I need a copy of this log from the program (and screenshots/videos of it not working if you really want to)

  1. I don’t have the utility you mentioned but I did try it from my iPhone 4. The profile installed and shows up in the settings. When I goto the Carrier settings page the tethering option is totally missing now. Before there was a link to setup tethering. I am on AT&T in the US. I will try the syslog thing when I get home.

  2. I get my iPhone 4 on Monday, if nobody helps you out by then I’d be happy to. I already have the iphone config utility installed and ready to go.

  3. I tried to install the APN for MX – Telcel on a jailbroken & unlocked Iphone 3G and got the following message.

    Cannot Install Profile
    Safari could not install a profile due to an unknown error.

  4. I have the iPhone 4 32gb and used this, did the custom APN, selected US-AT&T, installed it and all is working. Thanks much!

  5. Worked fine for me. (iPhone 3G- USA- Working fine on T-Mobile with internet2.voicesream.com APN

    I restored my iPone with the At&t sim card in the phone.

    Jail breaked it with redsn0w, took the sim out

    Set my gmail account up

    Emailed/installed the profile

    Unlocked with ultrasn0w

    reset the phone

    turned phone on, put sim in,turned wifi off and reset the phone again

    Works 100%

    THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

  6. hi, i have iphone 3gs and perilously had custom APN for the at&t network. after the update to 4.0 it stopped working. when i tried to get new apn from this site i got the error saying “only one apn is allowed”. so i went into the profile and deleted the old apn proflie. but still same error. my internet wasnt working at this time. after i reset the network setting and tried to create apn profile and same result with same error. but after the reset my internet is working but no tethering option now under the network setting. i believe before the reset there was tethering option.

    so currently my internet is working but i am not sure if i get charge by at&t. since i dont have iphone data plan

  7. UPDATE: I have the APN hack working on my iphone 4 for AT&T. I am paying the $15 unlimited plan and its working like a charm. I installed it the same exact way I installed it on my 3g a year ago. As someone stated, the tethering button is gone, but I won’t use that so I don’t mind. However that is something that may cause an issue for someone who does use it. Thanks again!

  8. @Matt

    how did you get it to work. I have my iphone 4 16GB and I did the same thing you did but my internet just won’t work on the computer. anything i’m not doing?

  9. Mate, Just installed your new APN – it it worked beautifully !!! 🙂

    After speaking with both Apple and Optus – who supplied no solution, your fixed worked !!!

    Great to see there are still some common sense and working solutions out there as the onsellers have no clue…

    Thanks a million 🙂

  10. PS – Phone was a 3GS with iOS4.0 installed – was receiving no internet from carrier – even after trying every restore and reset option.

  11. Hi Matt, I have 16gb 3g with 4.0 on it. I am with optus and couldn’t get it to work. What did you use to jailbreak your phone?
    Any help, please.
    I can install the profile, but the ‘setup tether’ is still active.
    What should the APN settings be? I had a look at the one e-mailed from the website and it had country US, carrier something else.

    Alex.

  12. I have a UK 3g Iphone, loaded up the weblink and bingo, emailed and installed the setting – works a treat!!! Thanks v.much!

  13. With my iPhone 4.0, jailbrooken and unlocked, I did the following steps and it works fine:
    Remove the sim card.
    Send the apn settings by email.
    Install the apn from the email.
    Restart the iPhone.
    Place the sim card.
    Cheers.

  14. Matt,
    I just wanted to confirm your phone 4 was not jailbroken and you were able to change APN settings so the ipad microsim works in your iphone, data only?
    Thanks!

    @Matt

  15. One more question, are the Canadian wireless company’s APN settings available? What do I use for Bell? or Rogers? Likely not the word “Broadband” I assume.
    Thanks.

  16. This is great! Works like a sharm!
    THANK YOUUUUUU
    I have now a 3G on iOS 4 unlocked, jailbroken and with GPRS 😉

  17. Does anybody have an AT&T locked iPhone (USA) with a changed APN?

    If so how was this achieved?

    Thanks in advance.

  18. Thanks Charlie! Sounds like, for this thread, no news is fantastic news. In Canada the iphone 4’s will be unlocked because we have 4 providers (Bell, Telus, Rogers & Fido) Telus & Bell share towers. Rogers owns Fido. One big happy Canadian market place that collude price structures and keeps pricing high, except for ipad contracts. $35 for 5GB. I’ll post APN settings.

    @Charlie

  19. After talking to Bell, I don’t know if this will work in Canada unless there is a way to copy the IMEI number of the device. Bell takes your IMEI and the sim is assigned to that IMEI or something like that.
    Have you ever dealt with that issue?

  20. In Canada, I want to use a data only plan in the iphone 4…no cell service. Data only 1pad plans are much less. Data only plans for iphone do not exist. My carrier is not AT&T its Bell, Rogers or Telus.

  21. @admin
    The reason I use is is because I have a BlackBerry plan through work but want to use it on my own iPhone. This site makes it possible (even though I don’t have MMS, visual voicemail, or tethering).

  22. I have an iPhone 3GS – Modem Firmware 05.14.08 I believe. I upgraded to 4.0 but I had the spirit jailbreak previously so I couldn’t jailbreak in 4.0. I downgraded back to 3.1.3. I’m using t-mobile and i’ve tried everything but edge won’t work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

  23. Thanks!
    APN settings are as follows:

    Bell
    APN: pda2.bell.ca

    Rogers
    APN: rogers-core-appl1.apn

    TELUS
    APN: isp.telus.com
    Proxy server: 74.49.0.18
    c. Port: 80

    Does unlockit affect the mms or sms settings? can those settings be disabled from your site?
    Thanks!

    @admin

  24. I’m using Apn Changer from email solution because I have to switch from original APN to a private APN that allows me to acces the exchange settings of my enterprise.
    So i have only to go to my mail and install to connect to exchange.
    When I want to switch, I delete from preferences/profile/APN Carrier settings.

    But is it possible to create a toogle on my board to install the APN instead of going to my email, open the Iphone settings from unlockit…….

    Thanks alot

  25. I would like to try. I have a 3GS iPhone running 4.o os and firmware 05.13.04 I try to unlock with pwntool, redsnow,blackrain with no success errors 21,1600′ 1604,illegible … Please help me

    1. Its most likely a 3GS with a new bootrom which means you will not be able to jailbreak the iPhone yet. You will have to use it on AT&T at the moment until someone comes out with a jailbreak/carrier unlock for your iPhone?

  26. I put the profile on my IPhone 4 and running iOS 4 at the moment. The profile deleted my “Internet tethering” option. Don’t know if I can use the $10 internet anymore. Any suggestions?

  27. Works great on my iPhone 4 with att gophone prepaid service, but i noticed some kind of bug or a “lucky” bug for me lol

    I have 0.0 usd balance in my account and i can get the 3g internet( i have wifi off) running like a charm, even on my car when im driving i get the maps for google, and watch videos, etc etc…
    but im very amazed about this, i dont know whats going on maybe im lucky or something lol… or what it could be???
    Its a prepaid account

  28. APN and iOS4 was working on my iPhone 3G, but not 100% on my iPhone 4. When I try to open some web in safari getting erro Cannot Open Page (Safari cannot open the page because teh server cannot be found).

  29. I have an Original Rogers Canada iphone 3G(OS 4.0). I now have a Bell jailbroken unlocked. The voice runs fine but can’t get data, can’t get to network APN settings … . When I run your e-mail attachment I get this error settings.mobileconfig could not be copied into the Configuration Profiles Library other box: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. I had also tried SSH and edited the carrier.plist this morning did not work either.

    I must be missing a step or something, Because it seems to work for most other people.

    Do I need to put my old Rogers sim card in the phone before running your e-mail attachment?

  30. Just got my iPhone 4 yesterday. I have ANR account (dealer line) as I work for a indirect agent of AT&T. The iPhone requires the custom apn to work on the ANR as iPhones are prohibited. I have used unlockit on my 3G , 3GS and now my 4. It has worked perfectly on all three versions and all fw I have ever used custom and stock.

  31. Hi matt,
    I have a iphone 3g which was locked to AT and T in the states, but I moved to the Isle of Man, British isles, I have unlocked using IOS4 unlock, but cannot access internet, when not using wiFi, I have tried to use the custom APN install, but the local carrier which is Sure ( cable and Wireless is not listed ), any advice? , many thanks

  32. I have an iPhone 4 under a company AT&T plan. Using APN to unlock it so I can use data over 3G. I can’t use APP store and iTunes when I’m on 3G. Safari sometimes does not open pages as well. Some apps like NY Times is not able to get data.

  33. Charlie :just got my iPhone 4 today, AT&T locked 32GB, it worked perfectly with my phone, no issues.

    Charlie I have the same phone on ATT. I can install the profile but once I do under Settings -> Network -> I have no options for ‘Tethering’ any longer. This used to work fine on my 3GS. How do you get the option to use tethering again?

    Admins – Any help on this? I’ve seen multiple people mention that the tethering option disappears once installing the profile on IOS4 or iphone4’s in general. Any advice would be much appreciated.

    Trying the email install now…..

    Email install produces the same results I mentioned in the post above. If you remove the profile you get the ATT tethering options back, which we want to avoid obviously…

    Help please. Thanks in advance.

  35. Hey ! Iused your site and works absolutely gorgeous . You just have to keep in mind that you must install your APN settings via MAIL .
    I have At&T phone working on Romania Orange (Data , MMs everything)

  36. Dear admin,
    Does your web app have the possibility to configure also a proxy on the APN?
    Thanks

    Best regards

  37. Dear Admin,
    If your web app is os 4 compatible, is it possible to configure also proxy settings for my corporate APN?
    thanks for tour cooperation

    Best regards

  38. Dear Admin,
    After reading this forum, it is still unclear for me if the Iphone 4 will work with APN settings from your website.. I plan to purchase a locked ATT Iphone 4 but use my company’s ATT sim with a non-iphone data plan then use the APN settings from your website. I will cancel the ATT iphone data plan after purchasing the phone and I plan to cut down my company’s minisim to microsim size to fit into the Iphone 4. Pls. advise my chances on making this work or should I wait a while until there is a better solution.

    Thanks.

  39. @admin
    Admin, This is my problem, I can access internet and e-mail via APN only through a proxy server, but since I upgraded to OS4 it is no loger working.
    OS 4.0.1 and ICU 3 were supposed to solve the problem, but when I try to connect to my corporate APN I no longer receive POP UP asking for password….
    I don’t know wether it is OS 4.0.1 not to read correctly the profile or ICU 3 not compatible with OS 4.0.1
    SO I wonder if your web app is better that ICU 3 and capable of setting also proxy server.
    I wish I never upgraded to OS4…..
    Thanks

    Best regards

  40. HI
    I am unable to access your software via cydia and safari.. I recieve error messages with both. I have also tried the email. I have an old blue sim card from AT&T. My voice plan works but not my edge data plan. For some reason I cant get to the APN settings to change them. I have a 3g on OS4.0. Please help. I had a 3gs that was jailbroken and unlocked as well and I was able to access your software on that phone. I purchased it from someone and it worked. I deleted some files that corrupted the phone so I had to get another one…this one. And I can access the apn files. Please help!!!!

  41. Hi, I recently purchased iphone4, on which I restored the backup of a 3G with a fake APN. Now I can not remove the fake apn, even doing all the tests listed above, can i edit or delete the package via SSH? Thanks for answer

  42. profile failed to install only one APN configuration can be installed at a time:
    Upgrade to IOS4 using Pwnage and working fine. I don’t see Profile under Settings->General and when I try to replace profile, it says ” profile failed to install only one APN configuration can be installed at a time” ?
    Any idea ? I tried using “Iphone Configuration Utility” and created new profile and when tried to install , it gave same issue. I still dont see Profile tab under Settings->General.

  43. Tried on my iPhone4 32G running 4.0.2 and cannot install it.
    Keep getting only one profile can be active or something like that but under setting it shows no profile installed?

    on missus iPhone4 4.0.1 it installed without an issue.

    both our phones are factory unlocked.

  44. Forgot to mention that I did factory reset and then install all Apps as well as transfer backup for contact/sms/ etc.
    Still no go~

  45. Hey, listen i’ve a doubt, i had an iphone 3g where i used the unlock and worked flawlessly, now, i’ve upgraded to iphone4 but this time i bought the data plan, however, it seems not to work since i am using the backup files from the 3g, is there a way to revert this process?
    thank you!

    AO

  46. I CANNot seem to get my sms running on my iphone 4g its unlocked by apple simply baught without a contract but not jailbroken or n e tin like that!!! i changed apn settings so i dont get ridiculous charges but facetime doesnt work bc i cant seem to sent out sms so the dahm thing cant connect to somewhere… anyone any ideas?

    thank u

  47. Hi, Got IPhone4 AT&T locked, I with my friend help, unlocked it using GEVEY sim card, I am having data plan with Fido, which give message “Could not activate cellular data network: You are not subscribed to cellular data service”, now I cannot go back to my 3gs as my sim is trim :), I am no able to synchronise it as ITunes is not recognising IPhone4 itself, got headache explaining the prob with Fido Customer Services, Please help me as I am lost. Thanks a million in advance

  48. I have an iPhone 3GS. I had an old Gophone that I purchased last year. I called AT&T and told them I wanted to cancel my iPhone account and transfer the number to the Gophone 10 cent a minute plan and the $15/100MB data plan.

    They did it for me (after trying to talk me into some more expensive Gophone plans). I took the SIM from the iPhone and put it in the Gophone. It worked for voice and data.

    Then I put the SIM back into the iPhone and it worked for voice but not data. I went to http://www.unlockit.co.nz/ on my iPhone and followed the instructions. I was presented with two choices, create a fake APN and something else, i can’t remember exactly what it was called, but I chose that one.

    Suddenly I had 3G data. So far, so good.

    I have been closely monitoring my data usage at AT&T Pay As You Go Online to make sure I don’t exceed my 100MB (I never used to use that much with my old iPhone account).

    So is everything hunky dory? Did I dot all the i’s and cross the t’s? Is there anything else I need to do?

    Also can I still create a fake APN on this phone, in case I decide to drop the data plan?
