APN Changer

Just to let people know that www.unlockit.co.nz works with the to be released iOS 6 perfectly well the same as it worked on previous iOS versions.

I’ve had reports that the “Sim Swap” method that a number of people use for changing the MMS Settings no longer works so getting MMS Settings won’t be possible – unless a Jailbreak comes out .

The iPhone 5? well Yes It should work fine (as its running iOS6), but if anyone wants to buy me one I wouldn’t say no :-). There is no unlockit team of people, just me 🙂

I have started to Localise the language in the Beta Version which is shown when your iPhone is set to a non english Language.

I have started to translate it to French and to Spanish so if you are looking at the App with your Phone set to these languages see how they look. If people have better translations for the stuff please let me know.

I have put a link to the Beta Version of the iPhone Unlockit Application. You can access it at the moment by clicking on the “Try our Beta Version” on the 1st page when you go to the website from your iPhone.

Please let me know what you think and if you have any ideas/suggestions/bugs

A lot of my emails I get sent ask me why MMS does not work.

Apple don’t give any way to set MMS Settings via any automated process at the moment so it is not possible to set these settings automaticlly when I set the data settings via the method I use.

Maybe in the future Apple give give a way but at the moment there isn’t much people can do unless they jailbreak their iPhone or use a SIM Swap Method as described at http://www.unlockit.co.nz/unlockit/?p=631 for Straighttalk.

As I’ve said in the past I don’t like naming and shaming Carriers but I have take exception with my latest endeavor to get information will help customers of a Certain Carrier.

I have been rethinking about doing this more often now as Carriers have to be more proactive in getting customers onto their service and actually helping them.

Ok.. So this time I got a few emails regarding the Carrier they call LIME – “the Caribbean’s leading communications company” (http://www.time4lime.com)

I emailed them to their customer service email address regarding MMS Settings for their service. After a few emails they said all their settings there on their website and there where no more settings..

Go to :-Settings – General – Network – cellular Data Network
Cellular Data
· APN – ppinternet / internet
MMS
· APN – ppmms / multimedia"


I emailed them back and asked them for the other settings such as MMS Proxy/MMSC/MNC/MCC etc and they said they couldn’t help me and their was no more settings. (REALLY??) and for me to call 100 to talk to the help desk.. (As I’m not using their service (and not even in their country)) this was impossible to do and I found it strange that someone had to call LIME and the email support couldn’t help me.

So.. If anyone has the full settings for LIME and maybe if someone from LIME wants to comment on this issue with your service representatives not being/unable/not knowing this information it would be great.

I’ve contacted 100’s of Carriers in there past and LIME support seems very lacking on actually helping people use their service.

Update: The NZNOG Conference has finished now so live stream taken down.

Not iPhone related as such but this is the live stream of NZNOG 2012 Conference which I am attending at the moment.

“NZNOG is the New Zealand Network Operators’ Group – an online community of network operators, predominantly in the Internet and Online Services area.

NZNOG has no king, president, or formal membership. It consists of the subscribers to the NZNOG mailing list. The group is intended to facilitate discussion among operators of networks in New Zealand on matters relevant to network operators.

Conference
Our annual conference provides both an opportunity to exchange technical information, and a high-value opportunity for NZ’s networking staff to ‘network’ amongst themselves. This is New Zealand’s only technical networking conference.”
