You must change your data settings in the iPhone to the following, or it won't work with SFR

Operator: - SFR
GPRS APN: - websfr
Username: - {blank}
Password: - {blank}
DNS: - 172.20.2.10, 194.6.128.4

AT&T iPhones phones restricts you from changing it manually. You cam go to unlockit.co.nz for instructions.

I have an AT&T phone so the settings are hidden, anyone know where I can get the file for websfr?

Thanks in advance.

PS: unlockit.co.nz only has the sl2sfr

Go to unlockit.co.nz on your iPhone Safari, Custom APN, and enter what I listed above. You can manually edit the APN, just tap on it.

spdickey, thanks a million! I didn't even realize that it was editable...

Man, this really addresses my last remaining concern about using my iPhone over there (I leave in two weeks).

Your reply is VERY MUCH appreciated!

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

So, are you in France?

Did the data work at that SIM card?

Is your iphone unlocked?

Thanks!

I got here on Friday and have been trying to get this thing working for internet since then...no such luck.

Checked and changed all the settings; sync'ed with iTunes and it detected updated carrier settings, rebooted, hard rebooted, removed and reinserted SIM....nothing.

There's something else in here that is different. Oh and I also have an app that allowed it to show me the APN settings and they are all correct.

Dunno how to proceed next other than to keep researching.

If anyone gets an idea or gets it worked out, post it please!

Thanks in advance to anyone who licks this.

Oh and yes, my iPhone is jailbroken and unlocked. Phone and text work fine, just no internet.

...and today I found that my GPS also works.

bukzin · 29-03-2010, 17:00

How about wifi at a cafe? (French say 'wee fee')

Any luck with that?

MustBNuts · 30-03-2010, 07:00

oh I have wifi (I have wireless in my apt) and I also have GPS out on the street (which is GREAT), but no luck on the websfr.

Insterestingly, I do somehow get connected without error when I use wapsfr, but only to the extent that I do not get the "no active data connection"...looks like the connection is just way too slow to do anything.

....but I'm still looking.
