Yeah, I should have been more clear, Fring does not work well with speak out data. I have no comment on how well Fring works on an E71 and a wifi connection. I would hope it works OK.

Don't bother with Fring on your Nokia E-series. The native voip app works perfect, once you get it configured. I use it with my voipcheap account over wifi connections (rogers data won't support it).

I'm travelling to Michigan next week for work. I know that I can't make calls in the US with my phone, but I'm wondering if I'll be able to use the unlimited browsing while there. Any one have any insight?

Thanks!

If your Speak out phone can reach a Canadian Rogers tower while in your area of Michigan, you are all good. But if you cannot make or receive calls, unlimited browsing won't work either.

Hello. If I take this unlimited internet and go to outside my local zone. Do I have to pay more or only 10$ a month?
Thanks

Nope. If your data is working, it is covered by your $10 per month.

Has anyone tried iOS4 and confirmed that unlimited browsing still works? Just making sure.

Should still work, the os should not have any effect on whether the phone is compatible. I did upgrade my 3g and data still didn't work. Phone and text still work fine though.

Yes, the browsing works perfectly on my unlocked iphone 4 (iOS 4.0.1).

I was considering purchase of the unlocked iphone 4 from apple for use on speakout, but was told that the iphone 4 used a mini sim card and the speakout sim cards are are a larger size. I use very few minutes talk time. I will sign up for the $10 unlimited browsing. I will likely use the phone most for browsing at wifi hotspots. Can you please clarify the sim card issue. Does the unlimited browsing work well enough to consider paying for it? Thanks

Yes, the iPhone 4 uses a smaller microsim, but you can cut your sim down to the proper size using one o the online guide or by purchasing a Sim cutting tool.

The speakout data plan is well worth the $10 a month. It works
great for me. My only issue is that the service gets pretty slow during weekdays in downtown Toronto. Probably caused by the massive ammount of smartphone traffic during that period.

Regarding Windows Mobile. I've been reading through the posts and I get the impression that with the data plan you can use IE in WM6.1 as long as it is not an SSL URL and you configure it with the settings posted in this thread (goam)? So in other words, no gmail?

And Bridonca, would you know if you could use the Freephoneline softphone application with this as well?

Hi, im about to buy an iphone 3gs. I was reading a few pages back and some members were saying the gps feature works while others are saying it doesn't work with the SO browsing plan. Can someone confirm whether it works or not?

TSellers: I only configured a WM6 device last month, but for the life of me, I do not remember using Gmail on it. I only remember everything I tested seemed to work. I sold that phone so I cannot test anymore. Here is the my settings https://www.speakoutwireless.ca/speak/phone-features/configuring-blackjack-for-data-plan/?value=blackjack&type=1&include=1&search=1&ret=all

As for VOIP, no. The Rogers proxy does a good job in putting a stop to that. I had some hilarious results with Skype, with one side being delayed for several seconds, and the other side of the conversation unintelligible.

Conceptz: I just wonder if the ssl settings were correctly configured. I do not own an apple product, so I cannot give you a definitive answer.

bytexpro: I believe the froyo 2.2 release fixed a bug where the APN and or proxy settings would not save. So it should work if you got the latest and greatest.

Download will max out at 25 kilobytes a second. There is a latency of about 1/2 a second. It is better than dialup, but you could never mistake it for high speed.

All you can do is read the forum and learn from other's experiences. I can tell you that people have had success with the 2G and 3GS iphones, but not the 3G model. I don't think anyone has had any luck with the Android phones either.


I posted on RedFlagDeals (I am sure I posted it here as well) a long time ago that I got it working on an iPhone 3G... (with detailed walkthrough)

I guess I am still the only one..

Still works too.

Thats interesting, but I'm wondering what carrier your 3G was originally locked to? My theory is that the majority og 3G models out there are Rogers units and have been blocked via the IMEI number from working on the GOAM network. My guess is that your phone may be a Bell phone and that Rogers has not blocked the IMEI number? Can you please confirm the original carrier please?
