Internet and Arabic on the iPhone with Qtel
I thought I’d answer some of the most common questions which are asked on ILQ related to the iPhone.
Can I read arabic messages?
The iPhone has arabic character support (the 3g version anyway) however it’s backwards and NOT connected. Update: Version 3.0 firmware fully supports arabic.
How can I read PROPER arabic?
The solution is to use Arabtaller It will have arabic displaying nicely on your iPhone AND install an arabic keyboard.
I also recommend installing SB Settings which is a useful app which you can find in the Cydia app.
What’s Cydia?
If you’re asking me that then you haven’t jailbroken your phone which you should have done a long time ago. I recommend searching and using a program called QUICKPWN which will do it all for you in one handy app.
What about internet? How can I access GPRS, Edge, Wap, 3G?
It’s actually very simple. You’re using a 3G iphone, so why are you asking about Edge or Wap? 3G Gprs is what you should be concerned about.
If you’re on Qtel, here are the settings.
Go to SETTINGS > GENERAL > NETWORK > CELLULAR DATA > APN > then input web.qtel
Thats it!! No username of password! You’re done! It’ll set up 3g gprs anda if you’re out of range for 3g then it automatically switches to edge.
For this to work you need both INTERNET and EMAIL activated on your phone. Just call your network. (In Qtel’s case, make sure you have Mobinet AND Email download access)
