Following Andrew's and Prag's notes, I successfully have data and mail on an iPad 2. Thank you!

It was great to read how everybody finally got connected with their iphone 4. I thought I have the same problems, but doing all of these advises didn't help.I bought the $10 browser feature. I did install the profile mentioned here, and I have it on my phone, I tried all 3 different addresses, one after another. 3 G is turned off. I did reset it several times, nothing happened. No connection. At the end of my knowledge.
Phone is locked to Rogers, also said to be jailbroken. That is how I bought it.
Also, it is the first time I have an iphone at all, is there something very obvious, I might not know, that I have to do on the phone itself?
Thanks to everybody who can come up with an idea

Have you tried it with the 3G turned on? Speakout uses 3G in most areas now. Also, try a reset on your phone after installing the profile by pressing the Sleep and home buttons together until you see the apple logo on your screen.

Thanks for coming up with ideas, but none of them were successful.
I was at friends house and we tried different SIM cards, so I know the phone itself is working and it had a 3G connection with a Rogers SIM. The other way around, I had no connection on the friends phone with my SIM, as expected. Out of ideas..

I'd double check that you installed the profile properly. Your friends phone obviously wouldn't work as he doesn't have the speakout profile installed. Where did you get your sim card from? I have heard of problems with older sims working with data. May be worth the $10 to pick up a new sim if the one you have isn't new.

As chimpanzee asks, did you call SO to activate/reset your UMB data plan?
As in this thread, post #8, that may be your problem.
Also did you use the Iphone configuration utility to install the APN settings?

Thanks for the info andreww.

Seems like it only handles 1 exchange account.

If one has multiple GMail accounts, how would you recommend them to be setup in that case?

eek! would check with my iPhone4 tonight.

You can always use imap/pop as gmail supports that as well(has to be enabled though). The advantage of gmail as exchange is you get sync and push for free(including calendar and contact). imap/pop is restricted to email.

Does that mean that Gmail works on iPhone using its native mail app assuming imap settings are enabled without going via the exchange settings route?

I was under the impression GMail only works using exchange route on iPhone via speakout. Please confirm this. Thanks

gmail support imap, I can use that in my outlook. iPhone should support imap AFAIK. So unless there is some oddball reason, iPhone should be able to access gmail via imap(you need to enable imap on gmail as that is not the default).

But activesync is better. As I said, I don't have my phone with me so can't test it out.

I know it works using imap etc normally. That is understood. but my question is specifically using GMAIL using native app with Speakout. Not otherwise.

do you mean iPhone cannot have multiple exchange to the same server(i.e. one server multiple login id) or multiple exchange accounts ? i have no problem adding both my hotmail and gmail as exchange.

Yes, I would like to add multiple account using exchange method for example:

123@gmail.com
xyz@gmail.com
987@gmail.com
abc@gmail.com

Would this work with Speakout data plan configuring them using exchange method?

Also, is hotmail also configurable using exchange method as well? Any instructions or link please?

I would like to have multiple accounts with hotmail and gmail using exchange method on speakout data plan. Thanks

Edit: This works fine on iPhone 4. I have tested it already

do you have iPhone ? you can try yourself.

if you can make it work for wifi, there is no reason it can't work for SO as people said they can have that work for gmail in the past. I don't have an iPhone that takes SO.

use your full email address as the login id when doing the setup, use m.google.com/m.hotmail.com as the server address. leave domain blank

sounds good. will report back soon.

Edit: It all works fine with multiple exchange accounts setup whether its hotmail or gmail. Here are the Hotmail settings:

Email: mailto:yourmail@live.com

that was what I meant. there should be no problem having multiple exchange account on iPhone. Whether you can have different user id to the same server(i.e. user1@gmail.com and user2@gmail.com), I don't know as I didn't test this setup.

iPhone 4S is no different than any other iPhone. Same software, so it will work the same as any of them.
