Using my iPhone 3G with unlimited data plan, but I cannot get email push to work. I am using a Rogers locked phone. Email push works fine if I disable the cell network (airplane mode), and have wi-fi on, but as soon as it connect to SO, push no longer works.
I assume this is the "way it is" with SO's data plan?
What's the alternative, just turn off push and use fetch and set it to every 15min?

Same here, using 15 minute fetch interval...
I think I read somewhere that push doesn't work for any apps on Speakout 3g.

If you do a search of the forums, you will see this has already been discussed.

Push mail over Speakout will only work with a Gmail account set up as an exchange account.

Since you're the only person to EVER get push notifications working on the Speakout network can you please share your secret with the rest of us.

Love to tell you but other than setting up my gmail account as an exchange account, I really haven't done anything that special.
Just to be clear, you are not getting "Push Mail" and "Push Notifications" confused are you? Push Mail simply pushes your mail from the server to your phone as soon as an email arrives. Push notifications is a system for apps to issue alerts in the form of sounds, messages or badges. Although they have the same names they are completely unrelated.

I believe I receive push notifications on my Roger's locked Iphone 3GS on the Speakout network. What I am referring to is (as an example) WhatsApp push notifications that pop up on my screen when I'm connected to WiFi (I do not subscribe to unlimited browsing). I similarly receive push notifications from the Todo app when I am connected to WiFi.
Are these the push notifications that I've read others haven't been able to receive on Iphones using Speakout?

With my wife's iphone 3G we do not subscribe to the web plan with SO, just the voice/phone service. When she is at home and on our home wifi network, she gets instant email notifications of new emails. My 3G has the web plan and when I'm home and using the wifi, I do not get instant email notifications, only every 15min or so.

Yes those are push notifications. All iPhones will get them over wifi, but when you are connected to speakout data, you will not.

In the past if I updated my Iphone to a new version of the OS and activated the phone with the Speakout sim I no longer received push notifications - in my case when connected to a wifi zone. The only was I was able to resolve the issue was to reset the phone and activate it with a Roger's active sim card - if I then flipped to a Speakout sim I began to receive push notifications. Anyone else have this experience? As such I haven't bothered to update my phone to the newest OS because I afraid of losing push notifications.

If your iPhone is a Rogers phone you should not have an issue receiving push notifications over wifi, even after an update. Your phone should successfully go through the "Waiting for Activation" process, and if that succeeds as it should, you will then get your notifications. My old AT&T 2G iPhone never received notifications, simply because it could never successfully activate without an AT&T Sim. It was "Hacktivated", jailbroken then unlocked, but without that initial activation from Apple you cant get Push Notifications.
