Dear ALL,

i'm currently using iPhone 3gs on celcom network and intending to upgrade to iPhone 4. Is is true that celcom 3g cannot support iPhone 4 because of the micro SIM required on iPhone 4?

It does support, just that you have to cut your sim card in to the micro-sim size.

Bolded part, incorrect.
If it's not working for your phone, just go to the customer service counter and ask them to reset your sim card settings will do, if they know you're using iphone 4, and telling you that celcom still don't have support iphone 4, you don't have time listen to them, just laugh at them will do. smile.gif

well since its already there try restoring your previous setting and so on...sometimes..it is because OS updated is incomplete with disturbance or lag..

Common problem for iPhone prepaid user, your phone will try and fetch data even when the phone is on standby. Alternatively, go download data toggle ( SBSettings ) from Cydia and turn it off that way, and turn it back on when needed. BUT, there are still chances it will still fetch some data, and will deduct your prepaid. The only way to get rid of it is to subscribe to an actual data plan, I uses Maxis Mobile Internet prepaid bi-weekly with 100mb for only 18 bucks. I'd rather spend that 18 bucks than losing them all together laugh.gif

I have the methods, but there are still high chances it will still fetch data. I have tried using this method a few months ago, and it worked. No credit deduction are made but lately it seems to not work anymore. My last option is to just apply for data plan. Try googling or youtube search to solve it, I did mine last time. I know that in iOS4 already included a toggle to disable data connection. But for those who cant upgrade to iOS stuck at 3.12/3 you need to jailbreak your iPhone. Then go to Cydia/Rock. Search for "SBSettings" this will add a toggle integrated with your Springboard to toggle anything on and off. Then go search for "DATA TOGGLE" for SBSettings. This will add a Data toggle for you to turn it off. I'm using this method right now and it will still deduct my prepaid randomly, turn off Notifications and Locations.

Alternatively there are method of changing the data IP to a fake one, you have to visit some site on your iPhone. I forgot the url. But there are still people saying it doesnt work, but work for others.

I'm sure if you have to money to own an iPhone, why not you just apply for those prepaid internet. Save the hassles, you'll can use internet anywhere you go and still keep your credit safe smile.gif

^ does your 'everything' includes disabling cellular data?

when asking for help, better dun say stuff like "i turn everything off" or "i did everything"...it's not helpful at all. better specify what u did
