Quick Iphone q's please!

Hiya, I just got my iphone and I've put my O2 sim only contract in it.

I love it so far but I am having a couple of wee problems. My signal seems to very limited and although it's getting up to 3 bars at times it's quite often not available at all and stuff.

Also when I try to get onto safari, youtube etc. it's trying to make me connect to my router - but I just want to use the data plan I am paying for rather than my router?

Do I need to set up my internet settings or something?

I've also had a nosy about trying to sort that and seen something about Data Push but I'm a bit hasty activating that as I googled it and have see a lot about £5000 charges and stuff lol.


Just wondering if someone could clear some of it up for this apple newb please! :P

edit: It's letting me ring my house and receive texts... so I don't think my network in general is a problem! x

EDIT2: lol okay I tried connecting to safaria again there and I have a full signal now and when it asked me to connect to router I just cancelled so thats all fine :) Whats will the whole data push crap?

The signal strength may be just your area, or the iPhone may have a problem.

I think you can stop it using the WiFi when you are out of your WiFi coverage, try forgetting the network and try it, then readd it.

Datapush is something else.

Wouldnt you want to use your router as it faster then your data plan :S?

So just wanna check my data plan that I'm paying for all works fine and that

Its cool the data plan thing is working fine lol

Whats the data push about?

Its for pushing calendar, email etc...

"Push e-mail is used to describe e-mail systems that provide an "always-on" capability, in which new e-mail is instantly and actively transferred (pushed) as it arrives by the mail delivery agent (MDA) (commonly called mail server) to the mail user agent (MUA), also called the e-mail client. Most of today's clients are smartphones."

involves the Smart Cache being capable of receiving updates and modifications pro-actively sent to it from the remote server holding the source ...

Lightstreamer is a software product for delivering real-time textual data to any kind of application through the Internet. Banks and online-gaming companies typically use it to dispatch live updates to their Web pages or Flex applications, supporting high numbers of parallel connections. Recently, solutions have been released that use Lightstreamer to push live data to the iPhone. There are two active fronts: solutions that push the data to the iPhone browser and solutions that push the data to iPhone native applications.

That all i could find out, i think data push is to update the apps you got

I see. So would I need that on to get my email updates like? Will it cost me extra or is it covered in the data plan?

Should be with data plan tbh, not sure though
