I have an iPhone 4S, running ios 5.1 and on the Verizon Wireless (US) network. I recently bought a TruPhone international sim card for use overseas as Verizon's global roaming rates are criminal. I met all the requiremnts to have VZW unlock the phone and contacted them. They tried of course to scam me into activating their ripoff international sim but eventualy agreed to unlock the sim card as they are required by US to do. The problem is they told me that all they really do is send a request to Apple who then unlocks the phone through iTunes. I followed their directions and synced the phone through iTunes but it hasn't unlocked. I contacted VZW and they said there's nothing else they can do. They show my account as having been unlocked and blamed Apple. truPhone confirmed that they are having troube with VZW Apple products as far as getting them unlocked.
I'm currently on a Verizon contract with my 4S. If I'm willing to pay the early termination fee, can I take my 4S to AT&T and use it on their network? Upon ETF does Verizon unlock my 4S?
I have a Samsung Instinct flashed to Verizon wireless, I was wondering how i could get internet working on it? I see in other forums that people got metropcs internet on this phone so it shouldnt be too hard to put verizon on here right?
I recently bought a blackberry curve 8330 for Verizon wireless off eBay I am unable to makes or receive calls and when I try to take a picture on my phone it says the camera has been disabled by your system administrator. This is my first blackberry but I have messed around with it enough to be somewhat familiar with
The back replaces the (extended) battery cover and it a bit thicker and heavier but not bad at all. It fits well on the phone, no issues and the back of the phone remains flat (no uneven raised portions on the cover). The cover connects to the four charing pins on the back of the phone (under the cover) so you don't need any cables that use the usb port as on some of the third party wireless phone chargers.Setup was as simple as changing the back of the phone, powering the charging pad and laying the phone on the pad. I didn't time how long it too to charge but when my phone was down 50% it didn't seem longer than the usb charger. There is an indicator on the pad that lets you know when the phone is not charging (off or not properly placed on the pad), charging or fully charged and an audible that sounds when you place the phone correctly on the pad.
You can feel when the phone is correctly placed as if there's a magnet in the pad and phone back. The bottom of the phone overhands the pad by about 1/2 inch. I was planning to get a picture frame type holder to prop up the pad so the phone can be easily viewed on my desk. With the phone being longer than the pad, it might not work as well as I wanted but I can probably still do it in landscape mode.
Has anyone had issues using the verizonwireless app after the 4g upgrade? Also, when I log into the my account through the we browser it says that my sim is in an unsupported device.
As of 3/25/2011 you can no longer download ANY content from Verizon Wireless. The "Media Center" no longer is supported. The phone has been marked obsolete. If you have an active Krave on Verizon it will remain fully supported. New or certifitd preowned Verizon Kraves that have not been activated will NOT be supported.
I noticed on my Razr that when I receive a new email I see the LED flash Green. When I get a Facebook or Gmail notice the LED flashes Blue. I have looked on the phone to try and see these settings for the LED color and cannot find a setting.
Is there somewhere to view/change this setting or is this just standard with the phone ?
Wireless sync only works when I unlock phone. Is there a way to tell itunes my phones unlock code? Itunes tries to sync all night and posts 50 unknown errors. I unlock the phone and it syncs. I dont want my phone sitting around without a lock code but with wireless sync I cant find a place to tell itunes my code so it can sync? Any help is appreciated... Ray O
I just unlock the BB Storm 2 9550 and I can't see the MMS meaning that I can't send or receive picture messaging? Can anyone help me out please??? I have service with t-mobile by the way.
My wife's Droid 4 makes a point of telling everyone what network she's using when the phone rings and when reconnecting after being in a dead spot. It's pretty annoyingI've been through all of the set up menus and can't figure out how to turn this off
Ok so I bought an env2 off a guy on craigslist. I dropped my old one in a puddle but I really loved my env 2 so I bought a used one from someone on craigslist. When I went to activate it I discovered it was on revol's network, I dont live in the city hence I can get coverage on revol. Still says verizon all over it when you turn it on and off. I am not very savvy with cell phones but I am with a computer. I took it to the verizon store and they tried to put new firmware on it but it didnt work. I have a tough time beleiving that it can go from verizons network to revols but not back, if anyone has a way that I can flash the phone back to verizon.
This is for my father-in-law's phone. He has just basic service, so no text or data plan. Bitpim doesn't appear to support it and I cannot find a USB driver for it. The phone does not currently have Kies installed (I don't even know if it is supported on this phone). And he can't install new applications because he has no data plan. Is he pretty much out of luck or is there some alternate way of doing this that I haven't discovered yet?
I just picked up a MiFi 4G device and I carry it at all times. However since it has a cap on data per month I want it to be secondary to several other unlimited WiFi networks such as my office WiFi, home WiFi, free WiFi hotspots, etc. Is there any work around to make the MiFi wireless (or any permanent wireless network) 2nd to all other recognized networks? This is the ideal set-up for my iPhone 4 and iPad 2 WiFi. I don't want to have to turn the MiFi on and off constantly, I want it on in the background as a seamless secondary option. I appreciate any insight and find it odd that you cannot prioritize networks. Meaning if I "forgot this network" and start over will the 1st joined or most recent joined become primary when there are multiple networks available?
I have read a bunch of posts about how to unlock an active Storm on the Verizon network for use with any GSM carrier.What I haven't found is anyone who has asked or said anything about unlocking a Verizon phone which is no longer active on the Verizon network.I made the mistake of moving to ATT for some company "discounts" but have been greatly disappointed with their network and their so called "discounts".Is it possible to unlock a Verizon Storm even if it isn't active on the network?I had the number moved to ATT and everything.
I've recently moved from Orange to O2 and my iPhone 3GS doesn't recognise the new O2 SIM card. Orange told me that they would send me an unlock code from Apple a month ago. Talked to Orange today and they say I need to get it from O2 but O2 say that's not the case.
I have been getting calls from verizon the number is like 00 and today they called and said my service might be interupted for a little while.. and two other times they called too. It only started happening after i got my iphone 4.. what can i do ?
...I like the form factor of the Eris and I think it offers some functionality that the iphone (current version) doesn't. But then there's the apps available for the iphone and some other things.Based on what we know currently of the soon to be released Verizon iphone, what would you guys do?
I read about sending a code or dialing a number to send to Verizon that would help extend the battery life of the iPhone 4s. Not sure what that does, if it helps at all, but I cannot seem to find it
I have reset the phone and the internet will work but then will stop after a time period. I upgraded to 5.1 last week and the issues seemed to have started then.
I have mysteriously lost connectivity with verizon's 3G data network. Any apps that require internet connection won't load, emails aren't coming through, can't connect to itunes or app store, send texts, etc. If I connect to wifi everything works fine. Voice calls are fine. I did a hard re-boot on the phone. Everything is up to date. Running OS 5.1
