So, its impossible to access wap.fido.ca on an iPhone and benefit from this unlimited package is it? Fido and Rogers deemed it impossible to access wap.fido.ca and goam.com from an iPhone because there is no room to enter a proxy IP. It is possible with a bit of clever modding.



WARNING: This will allow you to access wap.fido.ca and goam.com from your iPhone. This is not to say that you will not be charged if (and we don't think there is) there is IMEI cross referencing going on.

Enjoy.

FIDO:
Make a file called proxy.pac with the following text and save it to /private/var/root on your iPhone (SSH will help here):

Code:
function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
{
if (isInNet(myIpAddress(), "10.0.0.0", "255.0.0.0"))
return "PROXY 205.151.11.11:8080";
else
return "DIRECT";
}
Next, open up /private/var/root/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist
and edit where you see ip1 to read:

Code:
<dict>
<key>Interface</key>
<dict>
<key>DeviceName</key>
<string>ip1</string>
<key>Hardware</key>
<string>com.apple.CommCenter</string>
<key>Type</key>
