in qatar, 3G setting for iphone 3G is not given automatically, you need to edit the proxy.pac file in your iphone first.. (you need to access your file in the iphone by ssh-ing or using iphone file browser)

or you can wait for vodafone because they will be the official carrier of iphone when they open in doha..(well hopefully this year..)

wow congratulation! happy for u.

try this it might work.

1.install yellowsn0w 0.94 again using cydia.

2. Reboot with your sun sim inside

3. go to setting and activate airplane mode.

4. put another sim (qtel) then turn off airplane mode.

4. if there is signal, turn on airplane mode again. put your qtel sim and turn off the airplane mode.

some tips:

1. its more better that if you dont succeed in the first time, restore it again to original firmware, then re-run again yellowsnow. :P

2.try turning ON airplane mode.

As Omar, I do not get any signal and no connection. Also there are no Carrier Menu in Settings - General Any suggestions what is wrong ?

It seems to be a common problem for a lot of people, when checking on various websites- but cannot find any solutions to it
