For those who don't have unlimited data plan, you might have to think twice to pay for the data connection when you're out of Wifi coverage area. Sure you don't want to be in shock to see your bill later on... huhuhu. .
I'm a new user for this Mac product and was lucky to notice this problem :-p
okeh... instead of calling the local network provider to cancel the Edge/data plan you can just install this little software to block or disable iPhone from downloading or uploading data. In other words data connection can only be downloaded or uploaded using Wifi connection only.
Here is how you disable it:
1. Launch Safari on your iPhone
2. Go to http://iphonenodata.com
3. Tap the disable Edge/3G button
4. Tap Install
5. Tap Install Now to Confirm.
wasn't that easy??

wow, this actually works! finally someone with a simple solutions, thanks!
ReplyDeletehow do you turn it back on?
ReplyDeleteHi Jason, Am glad that this simple method did help you mate.
ReplyDeleteHi ℓmay... If you like to turn it back on the data connection then you need to uninstall the software. How to do that? it's very simple
1) Setting
2) General
3) At the bottom before Reset you'll notice an option called Profile (disable-Edge-3G). Click on that
4) Press on Remove button then the software will be uninstalled
By the way am using Iphone 2G ver 2.2
but the E on status bar is not removed
Deleteplz help me bro waaiting
and thanks in advance
u must b pakistani :p
DeleteI noticed this method utilizes a passcode. Does this mean I must create a passcode prior to disabling Edge, or will not having a passcode bypass this step? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteNaaa you don't have to create a passcode if you install this software.. alternatively you can try the other methods on the my 2nd post on disable the data/edge connection which is much easier i would say :-)
ReplyDeleteRemoved software and can't get Edge to work now, any thoughts?
ReplyDeleteUsing 3.0 software.
ReplyDeleteNever mind, reset network settings and a reboot, re enabled edge and resolved the problem. FYI it works on 3.0 and uninstalls on 3.0. Thanks much.
ReplyDeleteWhen I turn the Wireless off, I get the 'E' for Edge. Is that always there? I can I be sure Edge is not working?
ReplyDeleteThanks
I am on GoPhone plan with AT&T. I can not have data plan since it's no longer available starting on June 11th for pre-paid customers. I've been able to connect to my home wi-fi and surf the net.
ReplyDeleteShould I worry about anything? Like any charge from AT&T?
I got original 2G Iphone by the way.
Thank you
yeah the symbol "E" will appear if the wireless is off. It's shows your are covered under Edge. However there will be no data/edge connection since you've disable it. try open safari it should say "Could not activate cellular data network: You are not subscribed to a cellular data service"
ReplyDeleteGoPhone plan:
If your network provider had no longer provide you the data plan.. then you will be only able to access into internet via wi-fi then :-)
you are da man! so simple n easy!
ReplyDeleteits been costing me more than a contract recently... hope this works for me.. thanks
ReplyDeleteI can confirm that this works for the 3.0 software. I had another fake APN installed to block data and it stopped working with the 3.0 upgrade.
ReplyDeleteThank you, your solution is simple and solves a very big problem. Congratulations and Thanks again. I had been braking my head trying to find a solution, I know this guy who got a 3500 usd bill for voice/data roaming on his Iphone while traveling to Europe.
ReplyDeletePerfect!!!! :D
ReplyDeleteit works... but my battery drains like crazy... anybody else with this problem?
ReplyDeleteGlorious! Thanks a bunch. You just made my day!

Hi,
ReplyDeleteWhen I am using my Gophone sim card with my Iphone 2G charging is getting over in 8 hours with out using the phone. When there was no SIM in the phone I am able to use the phone for 3 days.
Is there any charging problem with Edge??
Dear All,
ReplyDeleteMy I-phone is Classic 8Gb with 2.1.1 Version.
I tried to disable my Data but it wont works, i already download Fake APN and disable edge profile, but both of them will not works 2.
Does anybody has an idea to help me?
Just download BossPrefs and toggle it off. Works with 3.0 as well
ReplyDeleteThis solution is very very simle and effective.
ReplyDeleteThanks to iphonenodata.com
I have a 1st gen iphone with freshly installed 3.0, JBken.
ReplyDeleteAfter installing this, my battery dropped about 30-40%.
I reinstalled 3.0, and tried installing this again. This time I kept the iphone next to a normal radio. Once it installed, I hear constant gsm interference, whereas without this file, i only get this interference when turning on the fone, or making a call. which leads me to beleive that when this file is installed, the iphone constantly tries to search for a data network which drains the batt rapidly. This method is not ideal dor me. any other ideas?
so great! my prepaid plan was going down because of edge
ReplyDeleteawesome! works perfect, super easy solution.
ReplyDeletehi there, i got 3gs with celcom prepaid. for the setting u stated doesnt work with celcom. do u knw how to disable the gprs?? tks

ReplyDeletepls. help me with this?
keith
Thank you! You're saving me lots of money that I was charged every month for data connections I never intended to use. I have an iPhone 1st gen with Swisscom and it was connecting to the data network randomly without my consent.
ReplyDeleteI turned my Edge off on using SBSettings on a 2G iphone (Vodphone UK) and after a few weeks use I started to get the same symptoms (quick battery discharge, constantly trying to access interment from Edge denoted by a constant crackling when near a speaker, phone unreachable by other people.
ReplyDeleteThey way I solved it was to restore, but the problem kept reoccurring after a few weeks. Eventually resolved the issue by buying a 3GS.
The phone was JB'd with Redsn0w running 3.0.1. havent tried tried 3.1.2 or Blackra1n JB but it might worth a try.

Stupid SBSettings doesn't work well for me since it still receives data.

ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeletewhen I turn off WIFI (original iPhone), to test and see if this worked, I still see the "E" in its place. So I go to a webpage and then the rather generic page pops up saying that I will be charged $1.99 per MB. (I'm on T-mobile in NY).
This tells me that the patch/software did not work...am I right?
Thank you in advance.
thanks so much. it works perfectly :) Now I can insert the sim card into my iphone and use it as a phone without worrying about it using up all my money T.T
