Hi I am a newbie can someone let me know which model of apple i-phones work with the seven eleven speakout sim card. I am think of getting a apple i-phone. Someone told me that the older models work with speakout

Thanks

An iPhone 3GS locked to Rogers or an unlocked iPhone 3GS(bought directly from the Apple Online Store) will definitely work with a SpeakOut Wireless SIM card.
An iPhone 3GS locked to Fido might work, but I'm not 100% sure.

All iPhones will work on speakout. Non Rogers branded phones will require a jailbreak, but they will work.

Hi, I got my Speakout card yesterday, it is working very well so far. I signed up for the $10.00 data plan too.
I have a jailbroken unlocked iPhone 3GS.

I followed the instructions on the web and at http://www.binarysearchtree.co.....kout.shtml to get the data / browsing working, so far all the apps are working, the phone indicates 3G.

Many thanks to this forum for the info!

I followed the instructions exactly with my iPhone 3G (Rogers), and while the 3G symbol comes up, I am unable load any web pages, emails, or web enabled apps. It just times out when I try. What am I missing? Is there some phone setting I need to change? I have done a couple of shut down / restart cycles, removed and re-installed the SIM card. What else should I be doing?

Try doing a hard reset. Hold the power button and the home button together. Continue holding past the shutdown screen, until you see the white apple on the screen. It'll restart and you should hopefully be able to access data.

I tried the hard reset (holding power and home until apple shows up) and it still does the same thing. I get the 3G signal, but Safari times out when I try to open a web page. Any other suggestions?

Try going to settings/general/network and disabling the 3G access. Lets see if it will work on 2G. Where are you located btw?

I tried disabling 3G access. I get the "E" symbol at the top of the screen, but the same thing happens when I try browsing Safari - it just times out.

I'm in Winnipeg. A previous poster (kenair) was able to make it work here.

HI kjf, I forgot my iphone at home, I'll look at the settings tonight.

I'm assuming that you subscribed to the $10.00 data plan.

Did you load the configuration profile via your pc and the apple iphone configuration utility?

Is the card working for phoning and texting.

cheers -ken

Yes, I subscribed to the $10 plan and got the text from Speakout that it is activated. I loaded the configuration profile via the apple configuration utility exactly per the instruction (I believe, although I may try doing it all again). The phone works perfectly for phoning and texting.

What puzzles me is that I get the "3G" symbol on the phone, but nothing works via 3G (or 2G). Wi-Fi is working fine.

Success!! I realized there's an extra step in the process - after hitting "install" on the configuration tool, you also have to hit "install" on the screen that pops up on the iphone too. I missed that the first time. I had thought that screen was just confirming that the configuration had been installed.

E-mail doesn't seem to work, though. I saw some older threads saying it doesn't work on the 3G phone (except for maybe gmail). Is that still the case? I'll do some more looking myself, but if you know of a good thread on this, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Super, great to hear you got it working.
I'm on gmail and find gmail is working for me on speakout using "exchange" http://www.google.com/support/.....wer=138740

Note that the gmail sync will not allow you to add custom labels in your contacts.
