AT&T Carrier Settings in Bluetooth Download?

Hi,

I have a 1.1.2 iPhone, localised for Australia. Everything works superbly, except that when I download the phonebook entries (contacts) into my TomTom GO 720, it includes the AT&T Carrier Settings:

Check Bill Balance *225#
Directory Assistance 411
Pay My Bill *729
View My Minutes *646#

Does anyone have a procedure to remove these from the iPhone so that that do not appear on my TomTom?

Thanks In Advance,
Rod

Those entries are contained in the at&t carrier plist. I'm not exactly sure why they'd appear in your address book, as you would most likely be using the Unknown Carrier plist. Editing the at&t carrier plist would be one solution, or you could try creating a proper symlink to your carrier, for which you'd need it's own plist.

Hi Edge,

Thanks for your reply. Funny thing is, they don't appear in my contacts list on the iPhone.

I think I'm symlinked to Unknown Carrier plist, as when I open /private/var/root/Library/Preferences/com.apple.carrier.plist I get the same contents as /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreTelephony.framework/Support/UnknownCarrier.plist.

I've edited ATT_US.plist, removed the following, and re-booted the phone. Seemed to make no difference.

<array>
<dict>
<key>ServiceCode</key>
<string>*225#</string>
<key>ServiceName</key>
<string>Check Bill Balance</string>
</dict>
<dict>
<key>ServiceCode</key>
<string>411</string>
<key>ServiceName</key>
<string>Directory Assistance</string>
</dict>
<dict>
<key>ServiceCode</key>
<string>*729</string>
<key>ServiceName</key>
<string>Pay My Bill</string>
</dict>
<dict>
<key>ServiceCode</key>
<string>*646#</string>
<key>ServiceName</key>
<string>View My Minutes</string>
</dict>
<dict>
<key>ServiceCode</key>
<string>*08</string>
<key>ServiceName</key>
<string>Voice Connect</string>
</dict>
</array>

I'm not sure how to create a Telstra.plist from UnknownCarrier.plist. I wonder if anyone has already done this?
