Simple solution to use Fring/TruPhone over 3G

If you want to use VoIP over 3G and the previously posted Patched Fring did not work for you, then heres the simplest solution to make calls over GPRS/EDGE/3G. It works for both Fring and TruPhone. But this is for Jailbroken iPhones only.

This trick makes the iPhone think that its connected to a WiFi network even though its on GPRS/EDGE/3G. Besides making calls, you can also download Apps larger than 10 MB from AppStore without WiFi and will be able to access iTunes Store.

To get this trick working, follow these steps:
1. Open Cydia
2. Goto Sections --> System
3. Select VoIPover3G package
4. Download it...
5. You're done !!

Now just open Fring/TruPhone and make calls over your data connection (GPRS/EDGE/3G).

Hi. I have tested it on Fring, AppStore and iTunes. All work fine. Can't say about TruPhone as I use Fring.

I would suggest a Reinstall of the package and a Reboot.

Well, I have all basic System components installed from Cydia. But I am not aware of any pre-requests for the app. However check if you have BSD Subsystem installed.
