Im on a family plan with At&t and i just got a new data plan put on my line. how can i start using it. i tried ultrasn0w with the source repo666.ultrasn0w.com and i installed it ultrasn0w but it still gave me could not connect to the cellular data network box. how can i start using my data plan.
 
really!? no one knows how? this is the legendary MacRumors forums and they our letting me down
 
Are your APN settings correct?
I think iPhones can only use T-Mobiles edge service in the US.
 
You don't need to unlock to use an AT&T data plan on an AT&T iphone

its not a iphone line. my friend gave me his old iphone 3g and i am able to use the phone,messaging,mms, and wifi but i just jailbroke it and went to att and added a data plan. its giving me that i could not connect to cellular data network

If its a problem with your data package shouldn't AT&T fix it? Don't know why you would need to unlock.

Well add an iPhone data plan then. Sooner or later, AT&T will do it for you

im on a family plan and right now my plan only costs 10$ a month and i just went in and added a data plan for 15$ a month. i want to save money 25$ is a lot better than 104$. i just want to be able to use that data plan. will 3g unrestrictor work?
 
AT&T will know what phone you are using by the imei so they will switch you to the correct plan

OMG. You need to get in contact with AT&T and have them fix it for you. Call 611. The problem is on their end, not with your phone or jailbreak.
 
are you ****ing with me?

NO?! If my cellular data wasn't working they would be the first person I questioned about it. You only need the unlock, aka ultrasn0w, if you plan on using it on a carrier other then AT&T. Being as how your on AT&T you don't need it.
 
So you can make phone calls, correct?

And connect to wifi? Just no data?

Definitely sounds like you need to call AT&T and get them to fix something on their end.

And for those saying they'll switch him to the right data plan - don't forget AT&T switched their data up. $15 is the entry-level data plan.

ok ill call in but when i got the data plan two days ago i just said im on just a regular phone i didnt know if you need something special.
 
u dont need to b on an iphone data plan!!!

all u have to do is edit ur apn by going to unlockit.co.nz from ur Iphone's browser(on WiFi to connect) and install the Att carrier profile:cool:
