Change Carrier Name on iPhone or iPod

Tweet

Earlier, we discussed how to change the carrier logo on your iPhone or on your iPod. Well, that wasn't enough for a few people! I received about five emails asking how can we change the text similar to the Carrier Logo? And then, I just thought I would share it with everyone! Well, if that wasn't enough for you too, you can change the Carrier Name on your iPhone or change the default "iPod" to something like "Aneesh" or something that you might want to display there.

Well, this is also a simple Cydia Tweak that we are going to discuss. It is again really simple to install and use! Nothing new in that, but still I would like to guide you through the process! Follow the instructions below to learn how you can do that! The Final outcome is shown in the picture below!

 

How to Change Carrier Name on iPhone or iPod:

1. Open Cydia on your Device.


2. Make sure the default BigBoss Repo is already in your sources. If it is not, then add it manually. The URL for the same is :
   

   http://apt.thebiggboss.org/repofiles/cydia/

   
   


3. Go to search within Cydia and search for FakeCarrier.


4. You will get a few results. Choose the one that just says "FakeCarrier" and download it.
   


5. After it has been downloaded, you will find it on your SpringBoard. Just Open it.


6. When you open it, you will be given various Options. Choose Fake Carrier.
   


7. Enter the carrier name on the text box there and then click Set. This will set your Carrier as the desired text.
   


8. That is all!

Now, if you ever want to reset it to the default one, just click Reset on the Fake Carrier Screen you opened in Step 6. It will be done easily!

Well, this is a fun trick to play with your friends. When you are using, say "ABC" company's cellular network, you can show that you are using "XYZ" company's to your friend! This will definitely trick them! Stay tuned for more Cydia Hacks and tweaks for your iPhone or iPod Touch.
