Anyone know why the iphone app 3G unrestrictor would not not work for Skype or Talkatone. I assume its working because it allows me to watch unlimited time length YouTube videos..which were previously blocked to 2 min. JB iphone 3Gs Thanks

The problem is that with 3G Unrestrictor you are still running through the Rogers proxy. With YouTube, the network checks that you are on a phone, then limits the usage. 3G unrestrictor simply fools that "check" and the restriction is not applied. Remember, YouTube already works with SO, its just limited. VOIP however doesn't work, its just blocked. Likely the problem is that these apps require various ports other than 80 to be opened and the Rogers proxy has them all locked down. Good to know that there is a way to unrestrict YouTube though, may be worth buying just for that!

Thanks flel35! I just downloaded the trial for My3G last night. Fixes youtube and appstore, no change on VOIP. Definitely worth a purchase of My3G or 3G Unrestrictor.

Thanks andreww, thats what I suspected as learned from your previous posts. Appreciate the feedback. Would be nice to know when this port blocking is resolved, in the meantime I will plug a rogers sim into my Jb iPhone & remove the profile & see if that works to confirm. Will let you know, if it does..

Well it obviously doesnt.
To the previous poster, it will likely work on a Rogers sim, but that doesn't mean it will work with speakout. Rogers uses a proxy on the speakout network but there own network is proxy free.
