Plugged in my iPhone just today, and got prompted that new carrier settings are available. Downloaded it, and checked my Settings. The APN editing functionality is now available!

Settings->General->Network->Cellular Data Network->

Just checked. Yes dagger is right! You can now edit your APN!

so does this mean we can now turn off EDGE by changing the APN, with the the iPhone-Globe's default software? No more downloads to install? =)

did anybody notice an error message sa itunes?...pagkatpos update?...something about cannot be updated dahil sa network settings...?

yes i got the same error this am, i realized that it may have been because i have the apn disabler. so when i get home later i will remove the apn disabler and then try again..

using your iphone type this in safari

HTH

^ isn't that only for prepaid? i checked it out and it says prepaid.

worked for me,

once you install it, edit the apn to internet.globe.com.ph when you want to use 3g/edge, and then when you want to turn off 3g/edge just edit apn again by erasing h from ph

i guess they had hard time inputting the prepaid apn, thats why they asked apple to open it up.

worked for me after i have removed the apn mod.

i can't find this in mine. i updated mine already and its not there. i wonder what's the problem with my phone.. :(

i did not have the apn disabler but when i updated through itunes there was an error message... then disconnected and reconnected again... but no new prompt for an update ever came :(

ah i see... so it did :) i was not able to check i thought the initial update failed. thanks :)

So, simply put...In layman's terms, we can now turn OFF both 3G and EDGE in the iPhone (turning it essentially into an iPod Touch with a phone)? Am I right?

IMO its just a way to avoid unwanted data charges when outside local wifi range...:cool:

That's correct.

when i checked updates earlier this morning.. i didn't update cause u thought it would mess up something... now i know what is it.. might as well download it...

doers it works with iPhone Classic?

doers it works with iPhone Classic?


yes, it works

thanks for the info. =)

I really confused na kasi, sorry for so makulit.

delete the APN disabler profile then update with the Carrier setting from iTune will let us have the network APN editor, is it right?

for Postpaid, no need to do anything but just use the default, or use which APN?
for PrePaid, download the profile for PrePaid? or jus edit & use which APN?

kindly list the right & working APN for Postpaid & Prepaid if anyone knows it, thanks.

to disable the EDGE/3G connection and avoid any charges, just edit the APN with a wrong one or make it blank,

pls correct me if I am wrong, thanks

yes or simply go to https://iphone.globe.com.ph/config and install it.

for Postpaid, no need to do anything but just use the default, or use which APN?
you can download the profile for postpaid to or update settings from itunes

for PrePaid, download the profile for PrePaid? or jus edit & use which APN?
you can download the profile for both postpaid and prepaid.

kindly list the right & working APN for Postpaid & Prepaid if anyone knows it, thanks.
postpaid: internet.globe.com.ph
prepaid: http.globe.com.ph

yes

pls correct me if I am wrong, thanks
hehehe you are correct

this is the best update ever! :)

sorry for being ignorant.....i'm on post-paid plan....i was able to see the apn already and took out the the "h" in "ph" but the edge sign is still there after this...tried deleting the whole "internet...ph" but the edge sign is still there also....what am i doing wrong? do i have to enter a username and password? thanks for the help:D

nope, that is ok. you can't take those out, as they indicate what network the phone is utilizing.

Yay it works! I got an error on iTunes too but the iPhone got updated anyways.

do I need to install:

https://iphone.globe.com.ph/config

bec I have update my carrier setting via iTune (7.7), no edit option for Cellular Network on my setting,

anything I did wrong?

hi don, are you using postpaid or prepaid? i think either will work, though i prefer the carrier update from iTunes. i got an error when i updated but it got installed

Just updated mine

This is great :)

same here, i thought something went wrong with my iphone... it was an update pala.... currently studying how to jailbreak my iphone 3g. lol

I thought this is just gonna be easy. But i cannot find that 'Cellular Data Network' on this path 'Settings/General/Network'.

I plugged in my iPhone 3G, then i got prompted for the update. There was an error. I just ignored it. How do i know that it got updated? :(

FOUND IT! I have to restart. Hmmm.... Hehehe.

IronMan, i got the error too, but i was surprised when it was updated after a day

i'm so happy i've installed it successfully by following all ur instructions.. now i hope i wont get any extra charges anymore even when i'm using my own wifi at home.

This is weird. Why is it that when i view my Globe Telecom Prepaid profile and i click 'More Details', i still see the old value of the APN? I have already restarted the phone.

Grrrr. I think i'm going back to that APN disabler. :(

There's another bug that i encountered. I'm not sure if it's related to this update. It's the passcode lock. I'm prompted TWICE after a restart of the phone. Very inconvenient.

If you use WiFi, you won't get charged at all whether you edit your APN or not. ;)

IronMan, i got the error too, but i was surprised when it was updated after a day
After a day? Hmmm. In my case, i didn't see it until i restarted the phone.

Same here. Here's me: bought prepaid unit, using postpaid line. Updated my carrier settings yesterday as discussed here. Initially downloaded prepaid apn, changed cellular data to postpaid one (internet.globe.com.ph), promptly removed the 'h'. But like sir Ironman, my apn under profile is still the original prepaid one (http.globe.com.ph). Is this how it should be? Shouldn't my profile reflect the one i typed in (postpaid)? Or is it irrevelant? Because I tried surfing without the 'h' and it didn't work but when I corrected it, it did. Unlike sir Ironman though, I haven't encountered any bugs like that password prompt he got.

Not sure if I'm understanding you correctly, but you should remove the profile installed by globe on your handset. Go to settings->general->profile and click on remove. Then you can use the edit apn menu that globe opened yesterday.

Tried that just now sir dagger. I see that even after I removed the profile, the CELLULAR DATA NETWORK which you can edit, ex. to misspell for strict internet use over wifi, remains. Thanks! (Though it did exactly the same thing a while ago even without removing the APN from Globe.)

You should remove the globe prepaid profile already, and just use the apn setting under network.

question... im always being prompt by my itunes on the carrier update and i never allowed it. Should i allow it? im using an iphone 1stgen. What does it mean if i allow it? what will happen?

Just an observation. Mobile me won't push data when I'm on wifi if my APN settings are not correct. (e.g. Using elbert method or removing the "h" on the APN settings) I already turned my iphone on/off but still the same. However, when my APN settings are correct, mobile me syncs on wifi without problems. Do any of you guys encounter the same?

BTW. This just happened after the carrier settings from itunes were updated allowing us to edit the APN.

i've been charged by globe for 1.6k this month and i dont even know it! i never setup my edge on my iphone only my wifi and this is what i get :(

MobileMe still uses cellular network data, unfortunately. It will sync over WiFi though if you turn off push and enable manual fetching.

Hmmm, then how come my iPod touch syncs / push via wifi without problems? :( as I posted earlier, mobile me can push before to my iPhone even if I use the APN disabler.

I think i understand why the one in the globe prepaid profile does not change even if you edit the one in cellular data network settings.

The editable APN is the actual setting being used by the phone. The one we see in the profile itself is the setting for that profile. I had this conclusion when i applied the APN disabler again. The editable APN changed to NULL but the globe profile is still the same. :)

And as for the bug. I stand corrected. It was not a bug but a feature. I enabled BOTH passcode lock and SIM lock. So naturally, upon startup i'll be prompted twice. ;) I realized it at the same i installed the APN disabler. :) Sorry for the misinformation.

and internet tethering is gone.

Hello dagger,
I had to change the APN to "http".
The SIM I've had for almost 4 years will not connect.
Went to Globe. They couldn't get it to connect either. Had to buy a new SIM. Now it's good.

1. Make sure FETCH is off in MAIL so that your phone doesn't auto connect to the web and download your mail.

2. Make sure you're on TIME BASED i.e., 5 p for 15 mins.

1. SETTINGS >>> Mail >>> Fetch New Data>>> PUSH OFF

2. Text TIME to 1111

Using a Smart SIM:

Connected automatically and disconnected automatically. Got charged 10p.

What a waste of $$

question: after edit my apn I can't my wifi anymore? Does this affect the wifi after i edit my apn?

Please help

Thanks in advance

No it has no connection to your WiFi settings. Your WiFi should work with or without your APN.

I can't use my wifi? I don't know the problem. I'm doing this because i don't want globe to charge me on internet connection.

Are you asking me or are you telling me you can't use your WiFi?

asking and telling that I can't use my wifi.

Sorry for the confusion:)

Even without proper APN Settings, your WiFi will still work.

and internet tethering is gone.

Just reset the cellular data network settings then restart it, that should do it.

Help! my sister gave me her iphone 1st Gen (FW 3.0). It was locked to AT&T but I managed to unlock it on my own. Transferred my postpaid sim on the iphone so i can finally use it. When I edited the APN, i can't receive calls/sms anymore. Signal's fine naman. I tried using a prepaid sim, edited the APN, and the phone works just fine. Wonder what's wrong? My postpaid line's subscribed to Globe's Mobile Internet Plan (yung P149 for 10 hours) - does it have anything to do with the problem kaya?

^^ if i'm not mistaken theres a different APN for postpaid and that for the prepaid.

as per http://site.globe.com.ph/web/guest/iphone3g/get_started?sid=597mdomfeqr5m1254312969517#anchor5

You are half mistaken. ;)

Prepaid APN : http.globe.com.ph (yes exactly like that, not http://)

ok sir, i just got it from the link of globe :)

by editing the VPN, this would cause the "Could not activate cellular data network" right? I usually get that message even though im not using my phone. Is there a way for me to check what program is actually trying to connect?

Please help, I've already set the correct APN for Prepaid and yet still can't connect to the Internet. What should I do?

i cant surf the internet using 3G signal of my iphone 3GS, a message saying "Could not activate cellular data network". i was able to isolate the problem bec when i borrowed my sisters prepaid sim i was able to SURF. i think the problem is i have the Older sim card. i already tried the apn: http.globe.com.ph but it still wont work. i dont want to change my number anymore and buy a new sim. hope somebody can help. TIA

@acnugteel & @glennp00
i think i experienced both of your situations - here's what happened...

Situation 1: i had a prepaid sim was that has served me for least 5years
Globe's Solution: they asked me to pay 50 pesos for renewal with it i also surrendered the sim + sim bed.

Situation 2: i bought a prepaid sim with a special number combination, it was a starter sim pack.
Globe's Solution: same solution to the first situation plus the globe tech girl activated something (she mentioned that the feature she activated doesn't come activated by default for starter sims) and told me i had to wait 24-48hrs before i can try going online via the iPhone.

these situations may or may not be in order of your situations nor are they exactly the same...
both solutions worked for me and i do hope what i shared helps both of you! :)

tnx rycua, im going to globe tom. i already gave up on changing the APN settings.i tried evrything but still no connection. tnx again

not sure but i'm considering Globe 3G really sucks.. sorry to other globe user.. compared it to Sun and Smart , Globe even in Mandaluyong has no signal even if it's full bar the connection is sh*t

What is happening to Globe's 3G? Kahit na 3G walang internet connection! Sucks bigtime I can't use my free internet!

can't find the apn setting/option on my iphone.. help please!! =(
