Developer Crash-X has created a clever app that tricks your iPhone into thinking it’s on WiFi when it’s really on 3G. This app has two really great uses:
1) You can install appstore apps larger than 10mb over the 3g
2) You can use Voice over IP apps such as Fring on 3G! (Think free phone calls, no minutes, everywhere you have 3G).
By default, his app only activates itself when you load Fring or Appstore.
From the developer:
This MobileSubstrate library can trick any application into thinking that it is on Wifi even though it is on a cellular data connection. There are a lot of possible uses for that, but for me the main use is being able to use VoIP programs like Fring over 3G. You can configure what apps get tricked by adding the app’s bundle identifier to “/Library/MobileSubstrate/DynamicLibraries/VoIPover3G.plist”. Currently, the default is to trick only appstore and fring. If you remove or rename the VoIPover3G.plist ALL applications will be tricked. This is not recommended though, because for a lot of apps its makes sense to know whether they are on wifi or 3G.
If you use it for VoIP, it might be that your internet provider blocks the ports that are needed for the application to work. This cannot be circumvented by this library.
Note: If your provider forbids VoIP and catches you and you have to pay for it, I am not responsible!
This is cool enough that I am adding it to the ongoing “reasons to jailbreak” list.
Update (10/25/2008): Just released an update that adds iTunes store and Truphone by default. Truphone is another VoIP client so if Fring doesn’t work for you, you can try this one.

I’ve had fringe downloaded for awhile now, and this program now makes it a hell of alot more useable.
Although, I am on 3G just testing it out, and Fring is fooled thinking im on a WIFI connection.
When I go to the dialer though, it only allows me to dial out through the “cellular” option, and not the SIP or Skype options, is this correct? It brings up my regular cell phone application when I dial…? Not sure if this is correct..

I am able to use skype out with this over 3G, but so far I have not been able to get it to work with the music store. is that possible? com.apple.MobileSotre.plist or com.apple.itunesstored.plist? I added both, but nothing.. maybe there’s a different hack for the music store?

look! you have to create an voip acount, the one that i am using is voipBusterpro; once you do open your fring app and go to MORE; then selct Add-ons; then selcet SIP; then select voipbusterpro; once you have done that it will apear the SIP on your fring dialer; if you want to make a call dial 1 before the phone number.
it is almos de same for skype.
goodlook!

I am sorry but AppStore and iTunes Store do not work. When I wrote the description I just assumed it would work because it should work system wide, but it doesnt. Sorry for the confusion.
Maybe they will be supported in a future version. I have to look into it.
If it doesnt work for you, please check the following:
Do you have the most recent version of VoIPover3G installed?
Do you have MobileSubstrate installed? (If you have Winterboard and it is working, then you have it installed)
And yes it also works with edge and GRPS.

I am running iPhone 3G w JB 2.1 code.
WinterBoard seems to be a requirement for VoIPover3G to work correctly.
Oddly, the WinterBoard installed MobileSubstrate, even though I had manually installed it before.
It would be great of the developers of these apps could post some instructions to troubleshoot via SSH to make sure the linkages are working properly — or not!
In any case, Fring, TruPhone and PennyTel now all work on 3G, when previously they did not.
I hope this helps!

installed winterboard and my problems disspeared.
can now use truphone on 3g and edge (which is far superior than fring which routes all sip traffif through its own servers in Italy - what is purpose of this??? causes horrid delays…)

TruPhone does not support SIP. Truphone uses your own phone number over WiFi/3G data network. Your phone number is emulated on TruPhone and uses the Internet to call local or overseas, hence, the savings.

To everyone who is having problems getting voipover3g working. I installed it and noticed it wasn’t working too. So I decided to copy the MobileSubstrate directory from /Library and pasted it in to /private/var/mobile/Library. Since then, it has been flawless. Hope that helped someone out.

DO NOT try what Julian did.
I moved my MobileSubstrate directory and my iphone hung on boot.
To resolve this luckily the hang only appeared to be Springboard not starting.
So I could connect to it with iPhoneBrowser and copy the mobileSubstrate directory to my computer then delete it and re-copy it BACK to the Library folder.
You MUST put it back to get things to work!

I love this library. Works well for me on fring - has not tried it with like Siax, but I have a few questions using fring.
1. On 3G (fooled like wifi), obviously I believe it will be using the data portion of the 3G (correct me please if I am wrong). Wll this incur extra ATT charges considering I am using ATT in the U.S. with monthly data subscripiton.
2. Calling using SIP to international countries over3G, am I going to be charged by ATT or is this a FREE call all over.
Please clarify - thank you.

To all who have troubles getting VoIPover3G to work with FW2.2: remember to (re-)install MobileSubstrate. VoIPover3G needs it! If you’ve installed Winterboard and/or Five Icon Dock, MobileSubstrate gets automatically installed with it. In that case you needn’t bother. In all other cases, install it separately via Cydia. Then you’ll see VoIPover3G WILL work with FW2.2.

Yeah I tried to add “com.joost.Joost” and it didn’t work for me either. I was going to try “com.Joost.Joost” incase it is case sensitive.
If anyone knows what else needs to be done to get it to work, post it. I only edited the VoIPover3G.plist file… is there something else u gotta do?
[Reply]
December 3rd, 2008 at 9:25 pm
I tried all combinations of com.joost.joost, changing the capitalization of the two J’s (I put all 4 combos in). It works - I’m not sure which one did it, but it’s a simple process of elimination or you can just leave them all. I get the lists of popular shows, shows, etc, but it won’t actually play all of the shows because the 3G network connection isn’t fast enough - it might work in an area with better coverage though. It’s definitely not giving me the “need to be on wifi” message though.

Hmmm… i did exactly what you said but it still says it requires wifi. I’m thinking it may be saying this because, in order to test and see if it works I have turned off my wifi on my phone. Maybe it doesn’t allow videos to play if the wifi itself is actually turned off. Anyone know for sure?
Either way, I will test it again when I am out of range of wifi…

Hi,
I have the same questions. I have jailbroken 2.2 and Fring does not work over 3g. If this is not sorted out before there is a great risk that many users will switch to the new version of Truphone that is releaead on the 12th Jan.
Any suggestions how to get Fring over 3g to work on the latest firmware?

I am with a Canadian provider and am concerned about what this means for when I travel to the US. I have network roam switched to off, but if it tricks the phone into thinking I am connected to WiFi will it still disable network roam when I go to the US?
I fear racking up large roaming charges.

Works for me, on iPhone 3G and on old iPhone (2G).
Here is a steps that i did:
VoIPover3G
1. Open Cydia
2. Goto Sections –> System
3. Select VoIPover3G package
4. Download & Install it
5. Search for MobileSubstrate package and install it
6. From AppleStore Install Fring
7. Done!
NOTE: For Jailbroken Devices only. When trying to make a Skype 2 Skype call, try few times, until 3G connection initiates.

You can get the bundle identifier for any of the apps by finding its Info.Plist file and using the “plutil” utility. For example, for the UstreamPlayer.app (UStream TV):
iPhone:~ root# plutil -l /private/var/mobile/Applications/3BE64920-8AEC-44FA-BDFA-FDD44ED44B34/UStreamPlayer.app/Info.plist
2009-01-20 14:47:40.310 plutil[317:10b] {
CFBundleDevelopmentRegion = en;
CFBundleDisplayName = Ustream;
CFBundleDocumentTypes = (
{
CFBundleTypeName = “”;
LSHandlerRank = Default;
}
);
CFBundleExecutable = UStreamPlayer;
CFBundleIdentifier = “tv.ustream.player”;
CFBundleInfoDictionaryVersion = “6.0″;
CFBundleName = player;
CFBundlePackageType = APPL;
CFBundleResourceSpecification = “ResourceRules.plist”;
CFBundleSignature = “????”;
CFBundleURLTypes = (
{
CFBundleURLName = “”;
}
);
CFBundleVersion = “1.0.2″;
DTPlatformName = iphoneos;
DTSDKName = “iphoneos2.0″;
LSRequiresIPhoneOS = 1;
MinimumOSVersion = “2.0″;

You don’t need VoIPover3G for Siphon to work. Go to Settings - Siphon and select ON to Siphon over EDGE/3G.
As of the last version you had to launch Safari to initialize the connection to 3G before launching Siphon or it wouldn’t be able to connect to your SIP.
A new version was released recently I don’t know if this has been resolved.
Siphon user community, code, versioning, etc. is stored on the GoogleCode site. Somewhere above there is a link to that site that addresses the issue I just described.

Hello all,
First, I would like to say thank you to all of you that have left messages and helped me FINALLY get these programs to work on my iPhone, as I am a complete beginner with all of this stuff and much of the above conversations/language went over my head.
I tried some of the other step-by-step methods listed here, and they didn’t work for me, so perhaps there are other variables in play. Therefore, I am going to list what finally worked for me.
I used pwnage (PwnageTool_2.2.1.dmg) to jailbreak my Softbank iPhone (3G) and am now on version 2.2. For the custom restore, I used iPhone1,2_2.2_5G77_Custom_Restore.ipsw. NOTE: To use the ipsw file, you have to hold down the option button on your keyboard while clicking the restore button on iTunes.
I had already tried to install Fring, WhiteBoard, Mobilesubstrate and voIPover3g, so these programs were already installed on my phone. What finally worked for me was using Cydia (installed on my phone by Pwnage) to completely remove all of these programs. Then I used my iphone (WiFi Off) to install 1. Whiteboard 2. voIPover3g and 3. Fring in this order (Using Cydia for the first two, and the App Store for Fring). When I tried Fring again, it worked perfectly! I still did not see the circle icon that I have heard about, but the calls worked, so I don’t care.
Thanks again for all of your help!
PS. For other idiots like me out there, when using the skype dialer, all numbers must be preceded by a +, which can be achieved by holding down the 0 button. (ie. +18001234567)
GOOD LUCK!

is anybody else having issues with other apps after they installed Voipover3G? I noticed that apps such as Weatherbug, AOL Radio, SHOUTradio, among others can never find an internet connection anymore. I can get them to connect by restarting my iPHone, but then it only works once or twice, then goes back to not connecting. I do not want to have to keep restarting my phone. THis only started happening after I installed Voipover3G. Any ideas??? This is a very annoying side effect.

sipphone stopped working over 3g for me.
It was working at first, all of sudden it doesnt work over 3g anymore, I double checked VOIPover3G.plist all is ok.
Filter = {Bundles = (”com.Fringland.Fring”, “com.apple.AppStore”, “com.audiofile.Interstate”, “com.apple.MobileStore”, “com.skype.skype”, “com.vnetcorp.sipphone”);};
I had upgraded sipphone i thought maybe the identifier changed, i check with plutil and it hasnt. I deleted the app re downloaded it. no luck
I upgraded mandrate, no luck

Thanks to Pelekan’s posting #78 of 10th January I can answer my own question as to how to get Truphone to work with this. It turns out that VoIPover3G has a dependedncy on the MobileSubstrate package. I found this on Cydia, installed it & now can use Truphone over 3G,
The developer should indicate this dependency or install the MobileSubstrate package if its not found as I am sure that there must be many other erstwhile iPhone Truphone users who cannot get VoIPover3G to work for them.

Skype not working with VOIPOVER3G. All apps running most current versions. As well, if I am wifi connected, Skype still says “no network connection”. How can I verify that VOIPOVER3G is in fact working because for a large app the App Store still tells me it needs wifi to download the large app. Is there a good VOIPOVER3G test?

I am probably going to sound like a retard trying to push the envelope, but…
Installing voipover3g on iphone 3.0 beta 3 ontop of quickpwn beta 3 causes ibrick. First all of the apps stop responding, after reboot you lock on apple.
Has anyone seen this? Will there be an update for this?
voipover3g is the most important game changer in the jailbreaking world, as far as I am concerned.

Hi,
After installing VoIPover3G app, fring starts to works as expected on my phone, but after this installation, update of repository database for both biggboss and saurik are failing with error “POSIX: connection refused” in Cydia. Even app installation using existing repository database were failing from these two repositories. Other repositories like iClarified, Hackulous etc. seems to work fine. After un-installation of VoIPover3G and reboot make Cydia starts working again as expected, but fring is failing eventually. I suspect there are some bugs (or conflicts with any other library) in current version of VoIPover3G.
FYI, I’m using EDGE connection to access internet on a jailbroken iPhone A1203 8GB with 2.2.1 firmware with 04.05.04_G modem firmware. Cydia reports my phone as iPhone 2G but i’m not sure as i purchased this set from another person who purchased this as is.
Cydia version : 1.0.2797-47,
Installer Version: 4.1.2
Mobile Subtrate: 0.9.2805-1
Plz suggest me how can I fix this issue to keep both Cydia and fring working simultaneously.
Regards,
Shihan

Shihan Reply:
April 22nd, 2009 at 12:03 am
In my quest to solve this issue, I’ve find following two RipDev packages in my Installed app list through Installer app that seems to relate with Mobile Subtrate API from saurik which is required by VoIPover3G.
1. Mobile Enhancer: 3.0.3
2. Pseudo Subtrate: 1.0
As Pseudo Subtrate is stating that its a complete replacement of Mobile Subtrate API, I suspect this might cause the issue and I uniinstall this application after installing VoIPover3G, though I’m not sure which other application requires this Pseudo Subtrate library. Anyway, the problem still persists with Cydia.
Next, i’ve uninstalled Mobile Enhancer as well and yes, both Cydia and fring is working.
As I’ve no RivDev application installed currently, so I think there won’t be any problem with other application, but soon I’ll check my other apps installed through installer to find any dependency on the above mentioned libraries.
Anyway, still now my observation is that my iPhone seems to work much slower after uninstalling the Mobile Enhancer library than it was installed. Also as I should not be the only one using both Installer and Cydia to install third party apps, I think this case needs to be resolved. As everything was OK with both Mobile Subtrate and the Mobile Enhancer packages, prior to installation of VoIPover3G, I’m now pretty sure that this is bug and should be fixed in later release of VoIPover3G.
I can surely live with this temporary solution of not installing Mobile Enhancer until the bug has been fixed.
Thanks,
Shihan

The problem is that i dont know how to even download the Appstore icon out of fear that it might relock. I dont even have any “locking” features. Could you please explain to me how I would go on doing this?? Also i hear that with this program i could use it to see movies, i know what the 3G network is, but when my phone tries to connect it doesnt let me. Is it because im using tmobile service plan or what? Thanks again and sorry. Also my email address is rcrdespn88@yahoo.com.

I do the same all the time in Brazil and US. Be careful. You will be charged International roaming charges for data which, depending on the Country, and your specific plan, can be extremely high. In Brazil the charge is about $25 usd/MB!! The best solution is to buy a local prepaid SIM card that allows GRPS/EDGE/3G data connectivity. Be careful, not all do. You then have a local phone number also.

wifi connections are free (as long as the hot-spot is free) if i use wifi on my iphone in any country its free.
I want to use my skype on my 3g connection using voipover3g meaning even though the phone thinks it has a wifi connection it will use the 3g. but because i will be abroad will the phone see the skype calls as wifi meaning free or will they see them as 3g calls meaning roaming charges?
again thanks

You will be charged by the service provider as if you are using roaming data. The tracking of data usage for charging purposes is not done on the phone itself, but by the carrier.

Also as an extra any chance of making a voipover3g icon at the top of the phone to show we are using voipover3g, in the place where the wifi bars or edge 3g icons go?
big up the boss
thank you

Does it bypass only those apps which check for the wifi using only a specific method.. ?
I have been trying to develop a VOIP app and using the Reachability API from the iPhone SDK to check for the WiFi. The app works fine with the Wifi, but doesnt work on 3G/Edge with voipover3G.
I have updated the voipover3G.plist as well..
any pointers on what can be done to make this app hackable.. ?
crash-x u listening.. ? any one else ?

Trying to get FStream working…. tried editing the plist file with the Source Identifier com.SourceMac.FStream…with no luck… I am assuming my phone provider blocks mms:// streams (as mentioned in the above authors documentation) as I renamed the plist file and still did not work. FStream only works on Wifi. this would be cool to use on 3G. seems like an awesome little app with heaps of potential (voipover3g)

Bit of a follow up…. all working now… NFI why… maybe the plist, or the fact in FStream, click on “… more” and enable cellular network ;)

I dunno whether I did something wrong, but neither Fring nor Skype works over wifi after installing iPhone 3.0 firmware and jailbreaking with redsn0w.
Fring enables the SIP button on the dialpad, but calls fail with the message “fring calls only available on wifi.” It may be that Apple has enabled some lower-level check that nullifies the voipover3g patch. I hope it will be possible to make it work on iPhone 3.0 firmware since it is such an awesome patch!

Same here!
Voipover3g doesn’t work with Fring under OS 3.0.
My config hereafter:
Factory unlocked 3G iphone. Upgraded to OS 3.0, then jailbroken using Redsnow.
Installed CYDIA, Cycorder, APT BackUp and AppSync for OS3.0.
All work without problem.
With “Voip over 3g” installed, Fring returns a message saying ” Fring calls only available on wifi”.
Anyone has a fix ? It is a shame as this patch is a life (and money) saver for me when I travel. I hope this is corrected very soon !
Cheers

I too am having problems with this great application on iPhone OS 3 (it was the number 1 reason to jailbreak my iPhone 3G). In my case I am using Truphone.
If I delete or rename VoIPover3G.plist in /Library/MobileSubstrate/DynamicLibraries it works OK but as I understand it this will force all traffic for every application over 3G.
So it looks like this only needs a little work to get it working with OS 3.0 but it needs someone with access to the sources to fix it.
