Apple Stuck Apologizing For AT&T Yet Again With A $30 iTunes Credit
MG Siegler on June 21, 2009
We’ve received a few tips of people saying they’ve gotten an email from Apple offering them a $30 iTunes Store credit due to the problems activating the new iPhone 3G S. Apple claims it is still working with AT&T to resolve the issue that has caused some new iPhones to still not be activated 2 days after the launch of the device. And it warns that it may be another 48 hours before it’s resolved. For those affected, check your inbox Monday for the $30 credit.
To me, this is yet another indication of why Apple n

is VZW prepared to lauch this phone with EVERY available feature also ? i mean 7.2 mbps... that is fast but these morons writing this garbage also fail to note that overseas is in like 4G and 5G status right now .... they are light years ahead of us when it comes to a network that supports those features ........ and i am NOT saying ATT is the best but as far as it goes ..... they are the ONLY GSM carrier here in the states that can support MOST of the apple features at the moment ....
i seriously can't stand UNeducated Media ....

I don't think they are that far advanced.
That isn't exactly true. 4G is not out overseas except maybe in Japan.

Its not even out there. Its only out in one country I think. When Verizon gets it out at the end of the year, it will be a big step for the US to have the latest and best tech in the world.
Do you honestly think Verizon is going to launch LTE anytime in 2009?
Im thinking Las Vegas or Seattle for West and New York City, Boston, or DC for the East. We will find out soon.
Then in 2010 (jan) we will have a Nationwide expansion with anywhere from 20-30 markets with LTE by the end of 2010.
Didn't Verizon say the initial speeds will be 8-12mbps?
end-user gets.
You a id10t no netowrk overseas with the exception of NTT DoCoMo in Japan is even remotely 4G and well 5G ha ha ha.
I work for Vodafone UK the best UK network. We have been 3G for a while and they are working on LTE right now.
I dont much like ATT when im in the states, but atleast they are doing something for people haveing activation issues.
Before posting get EDUCATED instead of bashing others.
And I sell a whole lot of sim cards every day.
Did they not have delays?
Did they not pre-sell to anticipate demand?
Have they not had the SAME delays with each launch thereby preparing them for the potential demand?
Were there not boos at the conference mentioned?
Has it not been published by credible news agencies such as the WSJ and Business Week that Apple is courting Verizon?
What exactly was so "hack" about this article?
Why is stupid Itunes involved in 'activating' iphones then, Apple is the phone maker not the carrier. I didn't have to activate my Nokia N95 through Nokia.
There is no "best" phone because every customer wants/needs something different.

No, it's the most popular. This does not make it the best.

Well lets put it this way BY FAR the MOST POPULAR which usually says something as to how good it is... 😉
Just pointing out the facts!
Now it is not a fair comparison but that is not what we are talking about. Blackberry did not create the playing field, they are just dominating the field.

It is not inaccurate. The Curve is the best selling smartphone, period.

So basically your trying to make a point on an unfair comparison? Yeah that makes a lot of sense.... 🙄 🙄

So what I said before was right. Nice try on the grammar lesson to make up for your idiotic post based on an unfair comparison. You're still a joke 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 How's that for my use of you're vs your... 🤣 🤣
Blackberry counts units active (which excludes many on AT&T because they are active as PPU medianet) for their numbers and what was used by the independent survey a couple of weeks ago. Add in all the Curves sold by AT&T to texting teens, etc. and you have a much larger number.
So... iPhone boy, the iPhone is NOT the most popular. Your blanket statement was not accurate. If you want to put "conditions

What you said before is not right. The Blackberry Curve is a more popular phone than the iPhone. The iPhone is sold across multiple carriers across the globe and they count phones sold, not activated, as their metric of choice.

THAT statement is not accurate. Period. If you want to start qualifying your statement with whether or not something is "fair" that is your own problem.
How about this statement. 50 MILLION Blackberries have been sold. That is BY FAR the most popular.
Apple is small potatoes in the smartphone world. Yes they are making waves and headlines but they are NOT the MOST popular. The only FAIR guage of popularity is how many have been sold. Blackberry Curve beats them out, period. Across all countries. Across the USA. Across those who are 18-34 who own AT&T and who w...

Shouldnt you be patronizing the Verizon forums? Lol!

I could have kept on with AT&T but would have to be stuck in West Texas. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed working with my team (most of them anyways haha) and developed some great friendships but blood is more important...
East coast, West coast, crips, bloods, La Eme, MS-13, Arian Nation, Latin Kings.....
What is going to happen with Chad from Alltel? Will he be kidnapped at gun point? Blown up a Verizon IED?

The Motorola Razer was the most popular phone of its time. It was also a piece of crap.
For me, signal strength is paramount. Even positive reviews mention that you'll get better signal with another phone with ATT.
As I said, there are different phones for different people. I have the enV2 and I love it. But it's not the best phone for everyone.
Batteries almost always died 1 year into the contract, screens fried to white, etc.

Why does an iPhone 3GS sometimes switch from 3G to EDGE even when the listed 3G signal strength is high (4 or 5 bars)? For this, Apple Support claimed that the cause is an increase in network traffic. As more users connect to a 3G network in a given location, the bandwidth and network speed declines, similar to what when traffic goes up on a cable modem node. This too can cause the iPhone to switch to EDGE.
Apple also contended, although I cannot confirm, that the network gives priority to those who joined most recently. The result is, as network speed slows down in a given location, those who have been connected to 3G the longest will be the first to be switched to EDGE. If this is true, th

Then AT&T makes a release that they are opening 850 Mhz to 3G to expand capacity.
Denial man.
I think I'm just going to have to stop coming to this forum, or phonescoop altogether. It's always the same story over and over with different title threads. In here, it's all about AT&T sucks, and their 3G sucks, dropped calls. In the Verizon forum is always about how their phones suck, don't have WIFI, or their BT is crippled, and let's not forget the UI.

MythBuster Adam Savage Leads Twitter Revolt Against AT&T
by Jason Kincaid on June 26, 2009
For the last few weeks it hasn’t been unusual to see AT&T among Twitter’s trending topics — following its disappointing performance at WWDC and the activation issues with the iPhone last week, the carrier hasn’t exactly been garnering positive reactions from its legions of Twitter-using members. Today, it’s reached the top spot on Twitter once again, and, once again, AT&T is the target of waves of contempt.
The source of the recent flurry of AT&T tweets is Adam Savage of MythBusters fame, who tweets that for “a few hours of web surfing in Canada†he was charged a whopping $11,000. AT&T is appare

Are you serious? is your life really this boring and sad? You spend your days looking up articles that critique AT&T?
Dude I totally agree with you it totally seems that way. But it's not my fault, Google News makes it so easy. Seems like every time I hit their SCI/TECH news page there's an article bashing ATT.
Maybe VZW is funding them. 👀

seriously tho, you dont have anything better to do, do you 🤨 ?
Not at work I don't. Plus Sprint...I mean ATT make it so easy. 🤣
Apparently this problem isn't endemic to at&t.

If you don't like AT&T, here's a clue: go to another company. You'd be surprised to know how many people actually don't care what company you're with.
But I'm sure the whining will always be here.

why do we care how well landlines are doing? We are talking wireless. And for wireless, Verizon has the lowest churn, highest profit margins, and most net adds for several quarters running.
ATT is still strong, but listing how much money they make with landlines doesn't make up for the issues that people are posting here. Yes, it is "trolling" but responding with some out-of-context numbers is like a verizon troll responding with "It's the network" when you are talking about customer service issues.
From what I’ve witnessed regular phones say 3G until they initiate a call then they drop down to EDGE. ☹️
This of course could be due to a low 3G reception area.
I’ve read specifically the iPhone and Bold called out as not being affected by the N-SET, what about the other smart phones ATT offers?
