yeah, I wanted to make sure that I wasn't missing something or there is a way around it but as you said; its basically my only option.

1) Is there a separate fix for the mms issue?

2) How do I enable carrier settings on Itunes 10.6? I've googled and found nothing but old ways that dont work9 (for me at least)

3) Will facetime always state that it is awaiting activation?

I saw this post and was wondering if this would work in my situation but i cant seem to get the ipcc file loaded onto the iphone


here is the mms fix

go to cydia add the source
v.backspace.jp/repo (thanks to rich for this)
install comm center patch
wait until it installs
enable carrier testing in itunes (google enable carrier settings itunes windows)
download this ipcc I made
