Next, call 888-892-9760. Its a higher tier rep that can usually help better. You might need an excuse but I told them I use my SIM card in a old Cingular phone and want to be able to send pictures from that phone when they asked. They might not even care.
What they need to do is they need to re-enable WAP push. There is two places in their Snooper software they need to make this change.
Second, have them switch your messaging plan to a non-iphone plan. Same price, just different features to their system.
After this, you need to have them resend the over the air activation and reset your vlr’s.
After they are done, reset your phone and you should be set. You might need to wait a few minutes but after that it should be working.
If its unlocked, you just pop your SIM card into it and it should work. Make sure you have a data plan or you are going to get a pretty hefty bill. Lots of people get screwed with this little aspect of it.
Ya, you can get email and everything on the phone and sync with it.
Its all user preference. I have big hands and still text ok. The auto correct is pretty good too so if you let it change the words as your type, you can type pretty fast.
other than that, they’re pretty much the same thing. If you’re in the market for one and 3g/GPS isn’t a big deal to you, I’d honestly go for the 1st generation phone. They feel like their built better/stronger than the new ones. The call quality, so far, seems superior on the old ones too.
also not a big fan of the plastic, the metal case felt much more durable.
yeah, kind of. It has the ability to do turn by turn but don’t think it truely exists yet. I know a few companies (tomtom) were working on GPS apps for the phone but nothing is really out yet.
You can use it to track yourself via google maps, but due to streaming the data, it’s kind of slow. They really need the map data to be stored locally to take more advantage of it.
btw, just to clear it up, the 2g (second generation phone) has this ability, not the 2g (wireless speed) phone
The new one has GPS so it can show you where you are on Google Maps and give you directions but no turn by turn. Its a rumored feature that is in future firmware but I dont see it anytime soon.
I did it for my friend when he got his and they just told him he needed to have the MMS block lifted from his account and it was explained that this “block” just prevented messages from going to his phone and instead, to viewmymessage.com and stuff.
When they lifted this, before he even hung up he was able to send me picture messages.
When I called, the guy was cool and helped me but he was telling me all the stuff he had to do about push over the air settings and stuff.
Sorry to burst your bubble too but sometimes ATT makes sweeps of iPhones and disables MMS so you need to go through this again.
ok well the guy said he did it but im resetting my iphone because it didnt work at the moment, he did say he lifted MMS Block and enabled the WAP push in both sections of The snooper so lets hope.
