How to use GPRS in your iphone

Hey yo so if you tired of paying higher charges for your Iphone data plan and you are not able to use any normal GPRS Service in your iphone than her is the trickjust simply follow the instruction...

Have tried for Vodafone India – GPRS for iPhone without Data Plan

I have just configured GPRS (Vodafone Live) on my jail broken iPhone which is running 3.0 firmware.

Using OpenSSH (If you are not familiar with Open SSH than just google it), edit preferences.plist located in /private/var/preferences/SystemConfiguration.
Important: Make sure you take a backup of the original preferences.plist.

Around line number 89 (this is appox line number, contents of the file may change based on your phone settings) replace the with below

Update: The below configuration is working on 3.1.2 as well, but the line numbers are little different.



To activate Vodafone Live (GPRS) see Vodafone (Websitehttp://www.vodafone.in/existingusers/vodafonelive/pages/subscribe_n_settings.aspx)


Many guys have complained that the changes that were made in preferences.plist are lost after restarting the iPhone (for versions 3.1.2 and 3.1.3). So today i decided to take a look at it. And what you guys said is absolutely right, today i upgraded my iPhone OS to 3.1.3 and i see that the settings are lost after restarting the phone. And you guys dont worry, i have found a way to fix this. Below are the step by step instructions.

1. Download and Install iPhone Configuration Utility from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL926
2. Open the application, Select Configuration Profiles on the left hand side menu and click New in the toolbar; Enter the name, identifier, organization and description; see the image below for more details




3. Now go to Advanced option and set the apnname = portalnmms, proxy server =10.10.1.100 and port = 9401



4. Connect your iPhone to computer via USB cable and you should see your iPhone in the devices menu on Left hand side. Select your device
5. Select Configuration Profiles tab and you should see the Vodafone Profile; Click on Install



6. You will see a pop on your iPhone asking your permission to install the configuration, Click Install button in your iPhone



7 And you are done with the configuration. You should be able to use internet on your iPhone now. If its not working just reboot your phone.
