Switched to Tesco - No Internet or MMS etc..

V4

Hi there

Ok so I input the settings from here

No internet, rebooted lots of times still nothing.
I'm on a 3G 3.1.2 Jailbroken.

By the way when I went in to check my details on the tesco website I found this

I tried that APN: tesco_mobile and still nothing.
Can anybody help?
Thanks

Okay I got this response from tesco customer care:

"Dear,

Thank You for contacting Tesco Mobile.

Find below the settings you may need in order to have WAP set up on your phone. Please note that these are general settings and may vary from handset to handset.

Settings -> Connectivity -> Data Comms -> Data Accounts -> Account " TESCO" with next setting: APN = tescomobile.liffeytelecom.com No other parameters need to be set up here.

Settings -> Connectivity -> Internet Settings - Internet Profile -> Profile " TESCO " with next setting:

Connect using = TESCO (acount defined in previous step)

Internet mode = HTTP (you can select between WAP and HTTP, HTTP is the one to be selected)

Use proxy = YES Proxy address = 10.1.11.19 Port number = 8080 No other parameters need to be set up here"


I still can't get this working on the iPhone.
Has anybody on here got a iPhone 3G Factory unlocked working on Tesco internet?
Thanks if anybody can help

Your on your own, thats like buying a ferrari and filling it with diesel. Get your self a sim from on of the bigger 3G networks, 3 or o2.
Tesco only offer GPRS or WAP tis crap. Your internet is probably working it's just crap.

Right you need to set up a proxy, it can be done on the iphone, but requires knowledge of ssh browsing and pac files. Send me a message if you want more details

Another email from Tesco Below:

Thank your for your reply.

With the Tesco Mobile Internet service on your mobile, you can
experience the internet through your mobile phone. All you need is a
?WAP? compatible phone ? check your phone?s user manual to see if yours
will work with the service

Our Mobile Internet service is provided through the WAP/GPRS network
service and is not a high speed broadband service (2G dial up)


The WAP settings - Settings -> Connectivity -> Data Comms -> Data
Accounts -> Account "TESCO" with next setting: APN =
tescomobile.liffeytelecom.com No other parameters need to be set up
here.



Settings -> Connectivity -> Internet Settings - Internet Profile ->
Profile "TESCO" with next setting: Connect using = TESCO (account
defined in previous step) Internet mode = HTTP (you can select between
WAP and HTTP, HTTP is the one to be selected) Use proxy = YES Proxy
address = 10.1.11.19 Port number = 8080 No other parameters need to be
set up here.

Right Tesco have giving you all the info you need,

Ok for this to work you need to be able to access the root of your phone and the only way to do this is by jailbreak.

If you are jailbroken download OpenSSH

next get a ssh client, and download this file to your pc
/private/var/preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist

next you will need to download a plist editor, you should be able to google one easily enough.

Replace the Proxies Key in total, to do this you need to delete from
"<key>Proxies</key>" to the next "</dict>" and replace it with the info below.

<key>Proxies</key>
<dict>
<key>HTTPEnable</key>
<integer>1</integer>
<key>HTTPPort</key>
<integer>8080</integer>
<key>HTTPProxy</key>
<string>10.1.11.19</string>
<key>HTTPSEnable</key>
<integer>1</integer>
<key>HTTPSPort</key>
<integer>8080</integer>
<key>HTTPSProxy</key>
<string>10.1.11.19</string>
</dict>

Save the plist, back up the original, then reupload it to the iphone replacing the original file.

now, on the phone goto
settings->general->Network->Cellular Data Network
Change
APN to tescomobile.liffeytelecom.com
Username and password blank

Restart phone and then goto safari and do a test search with the wifi switched off. Make sure 3g is no enabled if tesco don't have 3g

If you are not comfortable with ssh, I would be glad to do this for you, I run an IT constancy business and could fit you in this week if you like.

Hi kjl

You have been extremely helpful up to this point, thanks.
I have done everything you said but still no joy.
One thing that I did notice was that I had to paste
the code you gave me into 2 places in the plist.
I can PM you the plist if you could have a look for me please.
I could give you the orig and modified plist.

Thanks if you can help.

Tesco doesn't have a 3G network I'm pretty sure.

I doubt you'll have any luck with that.
