How to turn off the EDGE for iphone 3G
by Brian Yam on Jul.24, 2008, under Tech blog
Macau is my current working location, and I DON’T get free GPRS for my Pay-as-you-go plan. I tried to put a empty value in the APN setting , it can still use the EDGE service with its own detection. And I have been riped off $50 (US$ 7) at the first day. And finally, i can stop it from request data by doing the following setting. I would like to share this method to the people has the same situation.
- go to -> Settings -> General -> Network -> Cellular Data Network
- In the APN field , enter a Dummy value , like “NOAPN”, and that’s it.
You can restore the EDGE if you wanna use the service later on. Hope it can help someone to save a beer.
