Really sorry for the late reply.

It seems a recent update to the iPhone OS means that this hack doesn’t work at all i’m afraid.

It looks like we need to pay for it :-(

Also there is no blackrain app on my phone, after running the app and restarting my phone.

Thanks,

I am an ‘oldie’ with just an Orange PAYG but recently got a Macbook Pro. Looking at my Utility Warehouse phone bills I now realise I am paying around £30 per month for mobile calls so this is pushing me in the direction of an IPhone contract with free minutes to use merely to make those mobile calls from the Iphone rather than landline.

Now that I have the Mac linked to large monitor instead of the noisy huge PC box I can just unplug on go.

I would, like you, occasionally (once a month) be able to use wi-fi without having to pay for a dongle service.

My question is – will your work-around apply for other service providers – e.g. Orange or Vodaphone.

Many thanks,
