Anyone know what the deal is on the "unlimited web browsing" that petro canada offers?:
http://mobility.petro-canada.c.....s/136.aspx
Is this real web browsing or some limited form?
According to the web site only 3 models of nokia phones are supported. Any idea if other ohones would work? ie iphone 2g?

Works for 7-11 speakout, so it should work for Petro Canada. They are the same company after all...
Directions are here:

With the info at binarysearchtree I was able to get this working on my now-petro-formerly-speakout-sim in my 2G iphone. It definitely didn't "just work" the first try and I'm not really sure what fiddling made it work. For example:
- i enabled Edge using the SBSettings + Edge plugin ( not sure if i really needed to do this or not)
- the settings I finally used in the iphone configuartion tool are below.
Name: petro canada

descrption: profile description
Security: always
APN: goam.com
username: wapuser1
password:
proxy server and port: 172.25.0.107:80
The thing is, I initially tried a slight variation on the above and it didn't work. The other thing I was doing while fiddling was powering down and up. Maybe this was needed after the settings/Edge change?
Anyhow, hope this helps someone.

I'd be very curious to know what this status of this is. Does iPhone messaging apps like Whatsapp and Ping! and Skype work once an iPhone is configured? or is it really only Port 80 mobile web browsing?

It is port 80 mobile web browsing through a proxy. And not particularly fast, or responsive, so VOIP would be walkie talkie like at best. It works fine with mibbit IRC, I have had no problems with meebo either. I do not have an iphone or any other handheld crap, I use a netbook, a real computer! 🙂
