My friend just told me about this deal he saw at Tbooth promenade mall, free htc diamonds on any rogers one year contract. I didn't believe it until I called to confirm. Apparently it's only available through their location. Their number is 9057319157. Maybe they also will sell them on prepaid?
View 1 RepliesI'm looking for the iPhone sim free primarily for storing my audible collection and sms. I came across this website after a bit of googling and I'm not sure whether to sign up. It offers an iPhone for free, provided you complete a free trial offer and ask some friends to do the same. It seems pretty legit, it has a video from the BBC & CNN but I'm not sure.

Help me guys, I need this iPhone!
My friend has an Iphone on AT&T and wants to get it unlocked without doing a jailbreak (offical unlock from Apple) but is upset he can't. I hear people talking about not having to deal with a contract from a carrier here in America and being free to do whatever they want for service if they buy their phone outright with no contract. The problem that I have in understanding this theory is this
There are two major GSM networks in America (AT&T and T-Mobile) and two major CDMA networks in America (Verizon and Sprint)
If you buy a regular phone (non-3G) with AT&T or T-Mobile you can hop between the two carriers but if the phone is 3G then it will only work on AT&T or T-Mobile since they have different 3G frequencies.
If you buy a regular phone or a phone that is EVDO Rev A capable with Verizon or Sprint they only work on those carriers anyway because they don't allow you to switch their phones between carriers?
Having an unlocked phone is good if you travel overseas and no contract means you can cancel when you want but how many people really cancel service often enough and switch carriers for that to matter, especially if they have a family account?
So the question is this - what does free or not having a contract really mean and why does it matter when you can't really go anywhere and use all the features of the phone?
What do you think?
I am pondering to get iphone 4 contract-free (699-799) and wondering what are feature limitations?
I would love to,
1. use it with T-mobile pay-as-you-go plan
2. be able to use all iphone 4 features (facetime! over wi-fi)
3. use GPS for nav apps etc (not sure if this requires data plan - possibly depends on specific app)
Engadget says so, and you can kind of infer that on Apple's website. Is this true?
View 9 Replies View RelatedWith recent news of the iPad sim card hack and the low iPhone prices offered by Walmart, I have devised a plan to get an contract free iPhone 3Gs with data cheaper than buying an iPhone at retail.
1. Buy 16gb iPhone 3Gs at Walmart for $97 with contract.
2. Cancel contract within 3 days and pay the $175 ETF. ATT won't demand the iPhone back because it was purchased from a "reseller". Even if they ask for that month's service up front, the total cost would be $97 + $175 (ETF) + $70 (month of voice/data), which would equal $342 (retail for iphone is about $600).
3. Unlock/Jailbreak iPhone
4. Activate iPad sim card and adapt it to iPhone as per these instructions.
http://hijinksinc.com/2010/05/14/usi...-an-iphone-3g/
And congrats, in theory, you have a contract free iPhone with data only for cheap.
Below is what it would cost if you had an iPhone for 2 years in contract in comparison with this hack and similar options with two years of service.
iPhone Hack (Device, Data, ETF): $1062
iPhone 3Gs in Contract (Voice, Data, Messaging): $2257
iPad with Data (Device, Data): $1349
iPod Touch with Verizon Mifi (Device, Verizon Device, Data): $1790
Clearly, the iPhone hack is the cheapest method, coming in at a close second with the iPad. It might be a tough decision between an iPad and an iPhone, but the iPhone has a camera and can fit in your pocket, so it's more of a heavily featured iPod than a large tablet. And, naturally, there is a lot you can do with an unlocked iPhone, even hack it to make phone calls through skip or google voice and have messaging applications. You don't even have to pay for data if you think you won't need it for a month, and you can downgrade to the $15 a month program anytime.
Possible drawbacks, however, is that the iPhone 4G is coming out soon, and looks a lot cooler. You're breaking a contract on a soon-to-be-outdated device and ATT won't let you be a customer for 6 moths afterward. Also, you risk bricking an iPhone, and if ATT catches onto the iPad sim card hack, you're left with an expensive iPod touch.
To everyone on this forum, can you see any additional drawbacks that I might be missing?
I've had four Blackberry including my current 9780 which I'm pre happy about. Only complaint is even with minimal apps I still get the clock quite a few times during the day and its just slow even after wiping and restoring data. Don't get me wrong I love my blackberry keyboard, and the messages folder has nothing like it.
I want others opinion though. What would make you want to sign a 3 year contract with a Blackberry of today. Either current, or upcoming.
I need help, I talk to an AT&T store rep and they were useless. I also plan on upgrading tomorrow, but if I can't upgrade then gonna have to find an extra 200$.

I've made sure I removed the SIM and Memory Card but still nothing appears and it's been hours now but the Bold just won't switch on.

I appreciate it might need a small amount of charge before kicking into life but it has been connected to the charger for 1.5 hours now?
Could the battery be so depleted that it is useless now, despite it being a brand new unit?

I changed my contract from an iPhone 3GS to an iPhone 4 in may 2011. Since then my USB does not work properly and the earphones, well one ear works and the other doesn't. I then went online to check if I could get a replacement for both which I am still not sure that accessories are covered under tha warranty. Then I put my serial number and it said that my phone was out of coverage which doesn't make sense as I got the phone in may 2011 and it's only April 2012.Not a year yet.

View 1 Replies View RelatedMy wife and I are moving to Dublin in a little less than a month so that my wife can earn a Masters from Trinity College. We will live there for 12 to 13 months.We've been AT&T users for five years and upgraded to iPhones last summer. As you might expect, we've become pretty attached to our phones and would like to use the Wi-Fi feature overseas (as well as Skype for international calls, of course). However, we do not want to stay with AT&T the next 12 months (prolonged international AT&T usage = bad idea), and therefore plan on getting some cheap phones in Dublin from a local provider so that my wife and I can communicate when we're apart.
This is where you come in. What can we do to cut ties with AT&T but continue Wi-Fi usage of our iPhones? I did some research this morning and read several accounts of individuals canceling AT&T service, removing the SIM card and using their iPhone like an iTouch without issue. However, other accounts mentioned that AT&T can disconnect Wi-Fi when customers cancel service--not sure how that's possible, but there you have it.On another note, do you know of a way to suspend AT&T service for one year so that we don't need to pay monthly bills but also don't need to pay the account cancellation fee? Probably a long shot, but it would be the most convenient option.I thought I would ask around here before making the call to AT&T and showing some CSR all of my cards. Any help on the matter would be greatly appreciated.

View 4 Replies View RelatedCan anyone tell me what is covered under the Apple 1 year warranty/ repairs and service coverage? I have coverage until Nov this year. (I do not have my purchase docs with me to look at.) I have cracked my screen completely and wandered how much it would cost for Apple to fix it. I do have insurance with my Orange contract the excess is £50 but as I only recently purchased the insurance it will take a week to process, alternatively a local company replaces the glass and screen for £45.

my daughter and I have just got our new iPhones but I can´t create and Apple ID för her so she can´t use the ICloud service. So I tried using the one I created for myself resulting in that all my contacts apeared in her phone. What should we do?
Apple how about letting parents confirm the Apple ID for their kid but it should be created with the kids name and birthday how difficult can it be? am I the first mum who bought and Iphone for my kid?
And by the way how do we get access to all the old contacts stored on the SIM card from our preIPhone time? I thought that everything just work with Apple but I am beginning to think that I should have choosen and Android... I mean changing brand of phone doesn´t exactly mean that you want to cut contact with all your old friends..
