You cannot download apps over Speakout wireless, you have to do that on wifi.

I used this method for an unlocked iphone 4S. Really simple. Once installed. I shut off my phone. Turned it on again and it worked perfectly. I see other posts which indicate that right now siri, email, etc. works great. The only glitch is imessage. Any new solutions to that one? Thanks Andrew!!!

Never hurts to post them here…

Obtain the iPhone Configuration Utility from Apple, via their website. It's a free download. A windows and Mac OS/X version exists.
Start the application.
Click on "Configuration Profiles" in the left column.
Click the "New" button in the top left corner.
Under the "General" section fill in the "Name" and "Identifier" fields with whatever you like, I used:
Name: "Speakout Wireless"
Identifier: "com.speakout.wireless"
In the "Advanced" section, enter the following:
APN: "goam.com"
User Name: "wapuser1"
Password: "wap"
Proxy Server: "10.128.1.69"
Port: "80"
Then attach your iPhone to the computer, it will show up in the left column under Devices. When you see it, click on it to select it.
In the right screen, click the "Configuration Profiles" tab. You should see the "Speakout Wireless" configuration you just created.
Click the "Install" button next to it.

Hi guys, I'm new here.
Planning to switch from fido to SO for my iphone 4 soon. (im in vancouver area)

Can somebody sums up what's the catch on using data on SO compare to fido/rogers?

everything works? (google maps, fb, watsapp, safari, email, etc, etc)

thanks.

basically, no VOIP, no IM(so no iMessage as well).

I would leave the all data working to others as that is something which can change without notice.

iphone matches perfectly with the UMB, even in its most restricted form.

whatsapp would work if other IM like gtalk/yahoo work. That as I mentioned is not something the UMB was initially designed for. There are lots of people talking about this lately so you can draw your conclusion there.

I just want to say thanks for this post, it should be sticky ed. I bought an iPhone 4 on craigslist, cut down my sim and followed the instructions here and everything is working great. I used to only get an E on my Nokia C3 but now I always get 3G. People were saying voip doesn't work but mt Magic Jack app seems to work ok.

Hi there, just a quick question for you Speak-out types with iPhones; I know SOM and Petro Can Mobility (PCM) use the same proxies for 3G data and was wondering if any of you have been experiencing difficulties with certain apps that don't use Port 80 since February 1 when PCM/Rogers changed the Proxy IP address for their services.

This note is posted on Howard Forums elsewhere, but I thought I'd bring a snipped version to you to see if you guys were experiencing the same shortfalls since Feb 1 2012.

I have just hit a snag that some of my friends who also switched to PC Mobile are also experiencing, and was wondering if you had the same problems on SOM? It seems that PCM has switched the Proxy Server IP address details for their service as of February 1 2012 and that the old settings in the APN provided by unlockit.co.nz no longer work. This change disabled all data services for all the iPhones (mine and my friends') that I have heard about.

I created a new APN using the new server settings via Apple's iPhone Configuration Utility, and deployed it myself to my iPhone 4 to test; data is working again, but it seems that PCM is now blocking most ports other than port 80; my mail app doesn't connect to send or receive e-mail over 3G, Apple's iMessage won't activate or send messages, and Skype won't log in over 3G as well. All these features used to work via 3G on PCM before the Feb 1 switchover, so I'm wondering:

1) Did I do something wrong in setting up the new APN on my device? PCM isn't being too helpful with this one. Or,
2) Did Rogers/SOM/PCM start blocking ports for their 3G data again to keep us from using the services (like IMAP/SMTP, iMessage, etc.) that we were using before?

Any help you might have would be greatly appreciated in sorting this out; I'm still struggling my way up the customer service ladder to understand what's going on – the service used to be great with e-mail access on the go, and I was getting friends to move over to it in droves, but with only web browsing it's making it attractive to switch back to terrible Rogers/Bell just to have access to full 3G.

Please let me know if you're experiencing the same issue, and what you find out. I'll updated my discoveries here as well.

Cheers!
