Isn't that a bit of PR?? .) Why was the post in the discussion deleted? Did it not match the orientation of the "news"? O2 undoubtedly has the best mobile data network in our country, but when it is the only operator in our country that has blocked tethering on the iPhone for more than a year and a half (obviously to support its CDMA modems), I find it seriously annoying. nestIt's strange to present yourself like this!
Good day. Why all Czech websites about apple they keep writing about how O2 is blocking some services and won't check how it really is? When was the last time someone tried to contact an O2 spokesperson about this? The reality is a bit different...
O2 has no reason to block it, customers who use the internet would pay for it. iPhone It's definitely not the best-selling phone, and any Nokia that costs CZK 4000 offers internet sharing, and no one blocks it...
And what do other discussants mean by the term: in the interest of supporting CDMA modems? When you walk into any O2 store, CDMA will certainly not be the first choice they offer you…
Really please measure more and cut less…
I like the article, it was just a sigh of how Apple the community doesn't like O2 and it's not O2's fault... :-)
Maybe it would be worth asking about it again in O2, it flashes to better times, you'll see...
jack bauer: good afternoon, I currently represent 4 companies with more than 1000 mobile phones at O2 in the corporate sector and many jobsancfor these clients iPhone 3G/S/4G and I can confirm that currently not even in my personal iPhone4 s iOS4.2 without JB, the "internet sharing" option with the O2 sim card is not available!! From iOS3.1 digitally unsigned script cannot be installed and O2 has not issued any, I have signed countless petitions, complaints, etc. but everything is useless and the only thing that O2 has done for users this year iPhone introduced strict adherence to the FUP limit for their data tariffs, which drive was only on paper. As a result, for example, users who bought iPhone 3G with "unlimited" internet like I had in 2008 when the iPhone 3G was released in the Czech Republic, they got 125MB per week and then it was throttled to 64kb/s (I also got this as an official answer from corporate support btw). I'd be happy to pay O2 a larger amount per month than any other operator, but I don't want to be limited like that.
jack Bauer: I can't help but add that if you're noting this in practice, you're right. iOS3.1+ with O2 sim card did you get tethering working without JB? According to what you write, you are just theorizing... I can give you concrete info from practice and believe me, I still actually support O2, but I simply cannot forgive them for this, because in the end it is a terrible milking of customers who pay for mobile internet on their iPhone and then the operator forces them to pay the same amount again so that they can sometimes connect with their laptop. That is simply wrong :(
Luke: But I didn't write that tethering works, just that the fault may not be on O2's side. Internet sharing at iPhone This is not common with all global operators, even with AT&T the customer had to pay extra for tethering (or maybe they still have to?). O2 software iPhone cannot modify it in any way, it sells iPhones as it buys them. Do you think that a big company like Apple would you have O2 order you: "yeah, block the internet there for us"? :-)
There is only one thing that can be said about the FUP: I also purchased a tariff where the FUP was not applied, but from the beginning I knew, like everyone else, what I was getting into, it was written in the terms and conditions, and I took the fact that the FUP was not for a long time as a bonus...
Good day, yesterday I was in DatartI bought an iPad 32GB 3G in Zlicin and I didn't receive a micro sim, they said I don't have one, i.e. employedancand they stole them.
Well, I'll do it.oneI solved it by taking a tariff from Voda.one and "cut" the card to the size of a microsim (and also made a reduction "back" to the original size) according to the instructions here:
http://leather-leather-leather.googlegroups.com/web/How%20to%20make%20MicroSIM%20-%20EN.pdf?gda=EK_t62QAAAD2EBixC12OAco_qsi9bRRDtj0xzuH_ws-qRC74Ze17C-wvodPy1344vXz2LSO9pYTeo43GKTYRaB9yJbzn7VkXCFd3Z28Z3QIwZJpay8eK81Xq71KIRN2DRDZ98DIdT53NzgFmQudIVZfn2evkHEao
Although they lure me for free for those three months, but then it's covered in fog. The customer chooses a suitable tariff, for me PR is smearing honey around the mouth. I wonder what happens if I don't choose another tariff, and also when does the three-month period start?
Vodafone I used the card because it was just lying on my desk and I pay for it anyway, so at least it has some use.
Petr: "O2 cards for iPad will be available at retailers from December 3.12," the operator said in a press release.ancThey didn't steal anything either, just the first batch of iPads that went into stores were without SIM cards... When they sell out the first batch (the goods they sold from November 30.11th), iPads with O2 cards will appear :-)
Jack Bauer: try reading my last two posts again, based on what you write you know very little about the issue. From version 3.1 and up, a digitally signed script is required to enable teething, which must be issued by the OPERATOR, not Apple. So O2 is the only domestic operator that has not issued this certificate and thus defacto blocks this function and even states on its website that the phone does not support it - which is a complete lie!! S iPhonem 3G or 3GS and iOS 3.0 or 3.01 and an installed script, for example from http://www.benm.at/category/tutorials/tethering-tutorials/ with O2 sim this function is normally available even without JB, with a higher version iOS JB and instructions, for example, local production, are already required http://www.letemsvetemapplem.eu/2010/08/18/jak-zprovoznit-tethering-u-vsech-operatoru/ I hope you don't mind.drive Read something before you write things like "Do you think a big company like Apple would you have O2 order you: "yeah, block the internet there for us"? " Because it's total nonsense and you're just showing that you don't know anything about it !!
Luke: I dare to disagree with you, I think I know enough about the issue: the script you are referring to is not an official solution from Applu. If it were, this script would certainly be installable (available) on newer versions of the OS...
And O2 says on its website that the iPhone doesn't support it just so that customers don't expect a feature from the phone that the operator can't provide. That seems fair to me.
But wait a few weeks, it will be different, you'll see :-)
Just for peace of mind, I recommend Googling and calculating in how many countries it is also complicated with Tetehring (extra fees or inability to use it)
That's it Jack Bauer: you really have to be from O2, otherwise you can rest easy... well, I can't explain the inability to understand these clear facts. If you have iPhone? Try looking in Settings/Network/Mobile Data Network and think about where the data filled in there probably came from..) Or better yet, put a SIM card, say from Vodafone, into your iPhone and you won't be able to stop wondering... why magicky discovered the internet sharing option when why? Apple a iPhone does not support :))
Luke: if I put it in my iPhone purchased from O2 SIM of another operator, of course the tethering menu pops up. This is because Apple set this item not to appear in sim O2. It didn't set O2, but Apple. :-)
Please read the O2 spokesperson's statement on these pages. I hold no grudge against you and I understand your indignation, but I have to stand up for O2 on this one, because they are the ones to blame here Apple.
I must repeat again that unlike phones from other manufacturers, no operator has iPhone the ability to modify the software of the devices sold in any way. iPhones will come from AppThe original is wrapped, sealed in foil, and the warranty card is also stuck on the outside...
