Dear N4 users,
I'm writing here to ask a (maybe silly) question. I live in Italy, and my carrier (TIM - Telecom Italia Mobile) has implemented a certain number of VoIP filters on our data connection to limit tethering and skype calsl on certain monthly data profiles.
Due to this reason, according to the different APN availables (two APNs are available: the first is a wap profile with proxy, and the other one is only for iphone users with no proxy), we have some problem sending and receiving whatsapp images/video or we have delayed notifications.
Essentially, whatsapp is mis-identified as a VoIP program and is filtered by the network. The odd thing is that this problem is present only on android phones: iphone users have no problem with whatsapp, no delayed notifications and no delay in sending/receiving images. If we try to connect to the wap APN we have fast sending/receiving of images, but delayed notifications. If we connect to the iphone-specific APN we have fast notifications, but delayed sending/receiving of images. Thus we think that the carrier activate or not the VoIP filters according to the telephone ID connected to the network.
My question is the following: is it possibile to change the ID of the nexus 4 in some configuration files to fake the iphone ID? If I connect to the online service of my carrier, inside my account details is shown the code of my telephone (LG E960), so this information is somehow sent to the carrier. Essentially I'm searching some kind of "user-agent", not for the browser but for the network.
Thank you in advance and I hope that my a little bit-too-much-articulated-question can be answered.
Cheers
Alessandro

I mean by service messages the ones send from service providers like was push or web link or the ones telecoms send as a message to send you wap setting or gprs settings
if you can send those types of sms from any phone it's pretty odd that the world is not filled with virus's that delete mms settings and gprs settings and then resend them to something else
so my guess is no

actually, there were a lot of cases of this happening, with people being sent csd settings that go through premium rate numbers, this is why an alternate type of setting was created, which requires the user to enter a pin into their phone. Although most phones have always required user intervention, but most users are click-happy muppets.
sending wap/mms settings is a relatively straight-forward process, the best place to look is www.nowsms.com, who produce an application to do just this, through either a gsm modem/phone or a bulk operator like clickatell
Dear All,
I have Vodafone Email Plus (which is basically a push email thing for Windows Mobile) and it connects to an APN called "Business Email"
I cant access internet through this APN, so I have to connect to "Contract Internet" APN - This disconnects the Business Email APN, but then 2mins later the Business Email connects and disconnects the internet
So I have to disable the email before going on the internet. And then I forget to turn it off.
So I posted something in the Vodafone UK forum here: http://forum.vodafone.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=20651
And he said that the windows mobile software is single-APN.
Is there any way that the phone can be hacked or something done to it so it has multiple APNs??
Have a look at this thread and the also the links in one of my replies

Search "GPRSContextNumber" & "OperatorContexts" You need to change the value of this in the registry for your particular service provider. I am with Vodafone UK and have changed the following and now I can have two simultaneous HSDPA/3G/GPRS connections active at the same time:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\RIL\OperatorContexts\23415] ;Vodafone UK
"GPRSContextNumber"=dword:3
"UMTSContextNumber"=dword:3

I can only send email from my isp account when I am connected to the road runner network via wifi or from my computer. Is there anyway around this, different smtp address or anything.
Thanks!
It is common for ISP's to only allow sending using their email servers when you are directly connected to their network.
This was introduced around 10 years ago to help in the fight against relaying of spam emails.
You will find that you can receive over any network, but only send when directly connected.
My work around is to use my cell operators smtp server instead, (if you have a mobilie phone number, chances are you have a mobile email account too).
Mobile networks tend to allow you to connect from any network.
So as long as you set the reply name/address to your isp one, no one will ever know the difference. You will receive from your isp inbox, and when you send to someone, the reply address they see will be your ISP address, no one will see the mobile network was involved at all.
incoming - pop.your-isp.net
outgoing - smtp.your-cellprovider.com
reply address - [email protected]
Hi all.
Just a question about configuring APN and mobile network settings to allow MMS but not data transfer.
Currently I have a 3 APNs. 1 for WAP, 1 for internet and 1 for MMS, these are automatically configured. The ones for WAP and internet are selectable, thus I can set either one to default. The MMS one is not. In order to prevent applications from constantly accessing the mobile network, I have disabled "Data enabled" in mobile network settings. Unfortunately, this also prevents me from sending and receiving MMSs. When I enable it, I see traffic on the mobile network even when there's no incomming or outgoing MMSs. My question is this: Is there any way of having MMS functionality while having data access disabled?
Running Cyanogenmod 6, 2nd nightly build for HTC Legend. Don't know if this makes a difference.
Cheers.
Hello,
I'm from belgium and my wife has a samsung i5500 using proximus as gsm operator.
Yesterday, she got a message about a MMS sent to here, which she couldn't receive.
I started to search how i have to configure the phone to be able to receive MMS.
I found i have to set 2 APN's, one for internet and one for MMS.
Because my wife doesn't have a special data agreement, it is very expensive when she is using internet on her phone.
Because of this, i didn't want to set the internet-settings, just the mms-settings.
When i want to send a mms, it fails.
Do i really need to set these internet apn-settings if i only want to send and receive MMS?
If yes, is it really using a data-connection over internet for sending or receiving a mms?
Greetings from someone who is afraid the GSM operator will become richer on his back.
