NOTES:
You can also manually set a specific app to run in simulated Wi-Fi mode. To do this you must SSH into the iPhone and add the desired app's bundle identifier to “/Library/MobileSubstrate/DynamicLibraries/VoIPover3G.plist”.

You can find instructions on how to SSH into your iPhone here.

You will need to locate the VoIPover3G.plist and transfer it to your computer.
