For those who dislike the name of the carrier on their iPhone the following tutorial will provide an easy trick to change that offending name.

How to change iPhone carrier name:

  1. Start the Cydia application on your jailbroken iPhone
  2. Search in Cydia to find the app “Fakecarrier”
  3. Select the app by tapping on the name and click on ‘Install’. Follow the instructions to install the app. Finally, click on ‘Return to Cydia’ to finish installation.
  4. Once the installation is completed, you will be able to find a ‘Carrier’ icon on the iPhone Home Screen. Tap on the ‘Carrier’ icon to launch the FakeCarrier application.
  5. Choose one of the three options – ‘Fake Carrier’, ‘Fake Time’ and ‘Show BatteryLevel’. Tap on the ‘Fake Carrier’ option to change the carrier name.
  6. You are now prompted to enter your Carrier text. Enter the text of your choice and tap on ‘Set’.

After following the above instructions, the carrier name on your iPhone should change. If you would at any point like to get back to the default Carrier and Time text, you may follow the same steps and at the final text input, tap on ‘Reset’ to get the text back to default.
