iPhone 4/3GS/3G

I am posting this as there still seems to be some confusion with regards to Apple iPhones and there ability to get data on PM. We are able to get data without much hassle when it comes to the i4S and newer models of iPhones because they can update to iOS 8.1.3 and above but when it comes to the older siblings it is a different method to get data to work and that is the reason for this post.

I have personally used this method and it has worked for me but i will make a disclaimer USE AT OWN RISK!!!

- you will need to use the iPhone you are trying to get to connect to data and connect it to wifi.

- go to the website www.unlockit.co.nz using the safari browser on the iPhone and you should see this page.

- then go to create apn.

- there you will select canada and public mobile and then create which will bring you to this page.

- install the apn and voila your data should connect.

You will also see a APN icon on one of your app pages as thats your apn settings so don't delete it until you are done using PM data.

The only CAVEAT is that your MMS (pic text) will not work with this method but at least your data will. If anybody has anything to add to this pls comment below as this method has worked for me in the past and as always with any software...

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!!!!

A few months ago there was a link to a program that you could download that would allow you to have data on your iPhone 4. Does anyone have that link to the program u download?!

It won't help U, that was PM config file, because Apple released a carrier bundle update 18.3, iphone 4 cannot be updated to to that level only iphones 4s and later will work with 18.3

On original post U reported iPHONE 4, solution: update your iPHONE 4s to IOS 8.1.3 after that you'll have access to create PM APN. trust me!

Hello @MrsBlondin,

To access DATA, you have to configure your APN setting in your iPhone.

Follow these instructions to change your APN settings:

1. Insert your Public Mobile SIM card into your unlocked iPhone.
2. Tap “Settings”
3. Tap “Cellular”
4. Tap “Cellular Data Network”
5. Change your APN values to match the table below:

*Only update the fields that are circled. Leave every other field empty

When you go under settings/general/about what is listed under version?

If it is 8.1.3 or higher follow the link benwarez listed.

I forgot to add that if you are using data you should be able to use third party apps such as whatsapp or Facebook messenger to send pics as long as the recipient is using the same app on the other end.

I have used this as well. Works very well and makes life easier. My only thing is no imessage. which is strange as mine did eventually register my number but than i had to take my sim out and now it wont do it again.

@hunnybunny,

iMessage requires international SMS.

Public Mobile does not offer SMS outside Canada.

hunnybunny — Tue, 26 May 2015 14:04:15 GMT

Lol yes I know @Cyber. That's one reason why I asked for them to add it, in the ideas section. 😀

Re: iPhone 4/3GS/3G

DK — Tue, 26 May 2015 16:15:15 GMT

Yes I agree with hunnybunny in that they should make an exception for iMsg with regards to the one number required for it to work as there are lots of apple users out there and that pretty much is a stumbling block.

@DK @hunnybunny @CyberI got iPhone 4s. First 2-3 days i was receiving the text that PM doesn't offer International messaging. It stopped after. iMessage works no problem ever since the first day.

I noticed that it works the best when you and your friend both have iMessage emails connected to the Contact. But even without email, mine works good. Knock on the wood. Three times.

Have an awesome weekend!

Glad it is working for you. I think iMsg is a big part of the apple experience for a lot of people so imho it's good to have it working.

@JohnVos,

For new customers, please note that Public Mobile is currently in BETA.

They are temporarily accepting new customers only by invitation.

To join the BETA phase, you must register here : http://publicmobile.ca/en/on/beta

You will be contacted by email within a few weeks. Once you receive your invitation code, you will be able to subscribe on Public Mobile and order a free of charge SIM card.

For now, there is no faster way to subscribe on Public Mobile. They are in BETA to make sure everything works perfectly before the official launch.

If I answered your question, please accept my post as the solution.
