How to Disable Edge/3G Data on Your iPhone
These are instructions on how to block and disable Edge and 3G data usage on your iPhone using the SBSettings Data toggle.
Anderson Vulczak and BigBoss constructed the toggle which sets a bogus IP address, (1.1.1.0) to your data adapter’s IP address. This seems to kill EDGE / 3G without any battery drain issues reported in using other methods such as entering a bad APN.
You may want to do this to ensure your iPhone does not rack up costly data usage chargers from your carrier.
Step One
Press to launch Cydia from your iPhone Springboard.
Step Two
Select Sections from the tabs at the bottom of the screen.
Step Three
Select SBSettings Addons from the list of Sections
Step Four
Choose Data Toggle from the list of Packages.
Step Five
Press the Install button at the top right of the screen.
Step Six
Press the Confirm button to begin installation.
Step Seven
Once installation has completed successfully press the large Restart Springboard button.
Step Eight
Swipe your finger across the status bar to pull up the SBSettings menu.
Step Nine
Press the Data toggle to deactivate data.
You will notice the icon goes red and your IP Address changes to 1.1.1.0.
Edge and 3G data access on your device is now blocked.
