3G with ATT verses Verizon...
I've read that the IP4 S is faster downloading in 3G with ATT verses Verizon under ideal conditions. Is the same thing true with the iPad 2 with ATT verses Verizon?
Network speed is network speed, so they would be the same. But verizon vs att is really dependant on exactly where you plan to use the device. Each of the carriers has places where they do good, and places where they do not. If you can, run your own test in a place where you will be using the network, doing the kind of things you would plan to do. In theory, att network is slightly faster. But that does not always play out in real life.

If one doesn't care about surfing while conversing, is there any consensus about which service is better for a new iPhone subscriber? I guess better means better phone reception in more places, effective speed, and reliability.
Do you have cell phone service now? If so, I guess it is safe to assume it is not with ATT or Verizon.
You can check the coverage maps for each carrier where you live and make some new friends by asking someone you see with an iPhone which carrier they are with and if they are happy with it.
You can return an iPhone for payment credit within 30 days of the purchase date less a 10% restocking fee and cancel the ATT contract within the same 30 day period or at the same time the iPhone is returned for payment credit.
I assume the same is available with Verizon. -
Not sure if I can ask this question here...
In your opinion/experience, which carrier offers the best over all LTE? Verizon or ATT.
I currently have Verizon for my current iPad, and I'm generally happy with it. But I've been hearing good things about ATT. I'm going to get a new iPad and am trying to decide if I should stick to Verizon or get the new iPad with ATT.

Can an Ipad 2 3G bought in US be used in Spain with a local phone company contract or is it locked to ATT or Verizon? I am buying it here in the US but will be using it primarily in Spain. Thanks
ATT should be okay, but not Verizon. Look at the right panel, under "More like this", other users have asked similar questions.

Very slow download speeds with ATT U-Verse
Hello,
Experiencing very slow download speeds with Macbook Pro 2011, on Lion, and ATT UVerse Max, which should allow for an avg. 11-12 MBPS speed. Instead, I get a fluctuating 60-370 kbps speed. I am not experiencing this problem on my Windows machines (Laptop running Windows 7 and Desktop on XP), it is only affecting the Macbook pro. I wonder if this issue is a known problem with ATT U-Verse and Macs, I spent hours yesterday with their support online and they couldn't help me, stating that from their side all settings were OK; the first representative from ATT re-booted the router remotely and that seemed to work for about 10 minutes, and then it went back to a crawling speed...
Any suggestions welcome!
ThanksDo you have QOS enabled in your router? Did you try plugging the win7 laptop directly and check the speed?

I have a iphone 4 with att my 2 sons just got 4s from verizon I set them up on my itunes account I was getting there emails I made them thier own I tunes accounts and this is still happening. How can I fix it?
Welcome to the Apple community.
You need to use the Apple IDs that you created for them for iCloud as well as iTunes. You will also find that you need to use them for messages and face time. -
Major advice needed with ATT / IPHONE / MICROCELL misleading/doesn't work
I'm sorry if this is a little off topic, but I need some advice.
I've been battling ATT since thanksgiving week. I moved into a house (checked the coverage map before moving, and saw I was in the clear)
I have no service here. NOTHING. I had to use a verizon phone to call them, since Verizon actually works. They tell me they're working on it... weeks go by. A month, and another month of calling them and wondering what they could actually be doing to rectify my problem. Well about 2 weeks ago, ATT's RF engineer was hanging around my house for a couple of days. He told me they didn't even notify him about my problem until days before he arrived! So they were lying to me the whole time about trying to fix my lack of service. I kept asking them, "Can't you lend me a microcell until you fix what's wrong here?" They just said "No, you have to buy that and pay for it's service."
So it's now Feb 25th, and it's day II with my microcell. It shows 5 bars, but most of my calls are dropped, or I'm talking to someone that can't hear me. I emailed them last night asking if I could just be let go from this contract so I can move on and get back to business. They will waive my fee if I give them my Iphone 4 which I've owned for 11 months. Doesn't this seem a little strange??
I mentioned how I've lost many clients and a lot of money due to the fact that they think I'm ducking their calls because I don't receive them unless I drive 2 miles from where I live.
Again, today I talked with the service rep and they will not budge. Is there something in the contract that would help me out? Even the RF engineer/tech told me there is nothing they can do (other than putting up more towers!)
So I'm stuck in this nightmare with a phone that doesn't work, and paying for it. I still have a year on my contract and I just want out. The iphone was fun and all but I'm done with att and their ransom fees.
Can someone help me?
Again...sorry if this isn't specifically an apple related post, but I don't know of another reputable place to ask adviceAs you know, this is a user-ro-user iPhone tech support site. Neither Apple or AT&T participate here. The only way you can resolve your reception and service issues is through AT&T - no one here could possibly fix this. AT&T does provide free MicroCell service in some known poor coverage areas.
You can try some basic troubleshooting steps as described in the User Guide - Restart, Reset, Restore - but I doubt there is a problem in the phone itself.
IF you're not getting anywhere with AT&T, file a complaint with the FCC. Did the AT&T coverage map showed coverage in your area before you purchased the phone? You might want to get a lawyer to help.

What's going on with U-Verse in South Miami
For the past two months, we have been getting dropped signals (bundled U-Verse and including landline, mobile phone, television and internet) sometimes three times a day. I have had phone calls drop while speaking to my boss, (I work from home) favourite shows will all of a sudden give us that no service screen, which means we lose portions of the dialogue, and the internet stops working. I have not dared to call ATT as frankly the only solution that Customer Service seems to know is "Oh it must be your RG that needs changing." Well that's a load of rubbish since if it's the RG then ATT have some serious problems as I have spoken to at least six people that I know that also have U-Verse and they are all having the same problem, but kept thinking it was just them.
The internet signal has also got painfully slow and since we pay a juicy bill of $315 dollars a month and subscribe to the best package that U-Verse has to offer, I do not expect to have these constant problems. Nobody is perfect, and a little issue once in a while is acceptable, but not two to three times day! In addition... we receive an electronic bill and this has been a very hectic month for me, so realising that today was the 12th and I know that the bill is usually due sometime around this time of the month, and not having received a bill, I went online to investigate. Sure enough - on login to the payment page, it said "past due!" Well send me a bill and I will pay it. I just don't know what is going on with U-Verse but it is very distressing. I believe the saying is that they have, "Gone to ** in a handbasket." On a positive note - we can now apparently fast forward and rewind On-Demand TV shows, and which made no sense before that this feature was unavailable. However... this does not make up for the recent poor service and non-arrival of my electronic monthly bill, ( will have to go back to paper - not cool) and then having the nerve to tell me "past due."
[Per Guidelines: Keep it Relevant and Appropriate].Chris, As explained, and to be honest I am usually very long-winded and detailed in my explanations because readers miss things, as you might have done in this case. It is not my problem alone. Whenever we have a problem with any utility or especially in the case of ATT services, I always check with anyone that I know that uses the service and over a broad area, not just in my street but anyone I know in an approximate 8 - 10 mile area, to see if our issues are isolated just to us. If they are, then I know that it is most likely a piece of equipment we are using. In this situation, as there have been in others, every single person that I spoke to is experiencing the same situation. And again - this is why I said that I have thrown up my hands in exasperation and usually get another family member to call customer service if there is a problem, as I know exactly what they are going to tell me. "Let us check your line - (you then spend 45 minutes on the phone with them) No... everything seems fine, it must be your RG, you need to buy a new one." Mea culpa - I have no patience or time for scripted c.s. reps. Two years ago, we had a lightening strike that literally struck the ATT box next door. The wires in all the boxes on the street (including the ones in our yard) were fused and black when the box was opened. And yet... when one of my neighbours (who apparently did not connect the lightening strike with the loss of service - sigh... what can I say...) called ATT, they got the same response. "No, we don't see any problems here, it must be your RG." Com'n! It was a lightening strike! And on an aside - the new cable is now still hanging from my backyard fence as they were supposed to come back to bury it. Two years ago... So the dear space-cadet neighbours, paid for a new RG, hooked it up to find there was no reception (ya think?) and to then find out that theirs was just fine, and now there was the hassle of having to package the new one and take it to the UPS store to ship it back, and which is another frustration, because it is not possible to return it to a local store or office. Unlike yours truly, they apparently did not do their research with other users, even though we had no service for over a week. So - by a process of survey and elimination, it cannot be the RG, unless everyone I spoke with is using the same RG. But there have been quite a few changes that we have noticed recently, ranging from new look menus, to those very beautiful images when first turning on the TV. So is it not entirely possible that in all the changes and tweaking, something else has been affected? Look it happens - but I can never understand why they can't just say,"Sorry, we are working on "upgrades" so we apologise but you might experience these little set-backs for a while until we are through." Why always blame it on the RG? Another way to make more money?

Unlocked Tour Internet Problems with ATT
I purchased an Unlocked phone recently, and It makes, and receives text messages and calls perfectly, Im having trouble getting emails and/or browsing the web.
The phones carrier is Verizon Wireless and I am using ATT.
At the top right hand of the phone it shows Edge.
I have no entries in the Host Routing Table.
Ive contacted ATT and they do not help with unlocked phones. The internet works fine in any other phone.ThaJayred wrote:

It either show "EDGE" or "edge", but never "Edge". Which does yours?
Anyway, you need to read this: http://www.blackberryforums.com/general-9500-series-discussion-storm/180267-unlocked-storm-t-t-mobil...
Although my post there deals with getting the Verizon Storm on ATT and Tmobile, the process for the Tour works exactly the same and I know many who have successfully completed this.

Help Needed with my inactive Verizon 8830 World Edition...
Hello all, new to the site and am looking forward to both the information offered and whatever way I can contribute...
I have a Verizon (not active) 8830 World Edition that have been unused now for 2+ years as we had moved to Scotland, UK for educational reasons and have since used Orange and the Blackberry's they offer.
My wife is going back to the states and we'd like to use this Blackberry with a Simm card bought to use for both local calls whilst she is there and calls back to me in the UK. We previously bought a card to put in the phone but it did not work and when going through the cards support they informed us we needed to call Verizon.
As before mentioned the 8830 World Edition is NOT registered with a carrier/Verizon anymore. Called Verizon at 888 844 0395 and they told me that I HAVE TO HAVE my phone connected with a Verizon Plan and that is the only way it will work (proprietary).
The phone IS unlocked as we initially used it once we moved to the UK but now we want to use it back in the US to call home here in the UK with a US Simm card...
Seems a shame if we can't and I'm sure there is a solution out there if anyone with the know how is reading... any help out way is greatly appreciated...TINEEHINEE wrote: they told me that I HAVE TO HAVE my phone connected with a Verizon Plan and that is the only way it will work (proprietary).
That is correct. Spot on.

That is also correct... it is usable OUTSIDE of the USA on GSM networks, but NOT in the USA on ATT or Tmobile. Only Verizon in the USA.
Sorry, that's the beauty of the 8830.

I have an iphone 4s unlocked with att prepaid plan (non-contract), everything was working perfect BUT since i update to IOS6 i can not send MMS to anybody has Android, i went to att technical center they said only apple store can fix the problem, i went to Apple store MANY times they could not fix it, so they gave me a new iphone 4s and they said they fixed it but they did not,iam so mad that's not fair, can somebody help me please.
The nice thing about owning this overpriced POS is that Apple not only doesn't support it, but also doesn't want to hear about anything negative regarding it. So I spoke to the so-called "support" people at Apple who successfully screwed up my contacts beyond repair. I got a nice email from Apple asking me to rate the support I got. I was actually civil and described the issue tactfully. What do I get in return? Nothing. Not a damned thing!! You're luck you've got me by the short hairs on a 2 year contract but I'm still tempted to throw this POS through the front window of the nearest Apple store!! Not only will I be replacing this phone with a competitive product but I won't be buying anymore Apple crap. I guess when you con 27 million people into believing your rhetoric and sales lies, you don't have to care whether some customers get screwed or not. I'll be going back to Verizon and threatening legal action if they don't take this electronic dung heap back but I'm sure the teams of lawyers Apple and Verizon have on staff have insured that I have no rights in this matter and you're free to screw me anytime you please. Sad. I used to love Apple as a company and your products. Now you're just another Microsoft with more trendy looking junk. I've had it with you. If any of your executives are brave enough to talk to me, please contact me at your convenience.

If I have an IPhone 4 with ATT, can I change carriers?
In addition to what stedman said, you will only
be able to use it with providers that us GSM
for their service and cannot be used on CDMA
networks, i.e. an AT&T phone cannot be used
on Verizon or Sprint. -
IPhone 4s running with AT&T Verizon & sprint
I am aware that iPhone 4s will be running on att Verizon and know sprint but my question is this will sprint be still having it's unlimited package for data or will they bring out a different data rate plan as well as att & Verizon...
It appears at the moment, that they will still offer an unlimited data plan, but it also appears that only applies to the first 5 GB of data transferred. After that, data is throttled to 2G speeds. This applies to ALL smartphones, not just the iPhone. If I had to guess, I'd say you'll see something similar to what V did. 6 months in, they may completely discontinue the unlimited data plans for new customers and move to a tiered data pricing plan. They will initially use the unlimited plan as a lure to get customers to switch from V and AT&T. Once the initial influx of new customers is past, they may fall in line with the rest of the industry.

Switching iPhone 4s from ATT to Verizon in Santa Fe, NM
Hi All,
From the subject line: I am currently living in Washington DC and ATT service is reasonably good. In Santa Fe, NM where I am moving, ATT has awful service and Verizon has a much better reputation. I am considering switching upon my move. What are the significant differences between ATT and Verizon on the iPhone? I understand that data network access and phone calls cannot happen simultaneously. Not a situation I usually encounter. Are there any other significant differences that I should know about?
Thanks.....Matthew Palm wrote:
At some point will I be asked to set up the phone as a Verizon device (I am porting my number from AT&T)? Or does iTunes/Apple read the serial number of my phone and "know" it is a Verizon unit tied to my specific number? How exactly does this step work?
The phone will come with activation instructions. The activation servers will "know" what carrier the phone belongs to. You will probably have to call an 800 number to finish accepting the contract.
Did you specify in the ordering process that you wanted to port over your AT&T number? If yes, the phone will be activated with your number. The port process usually takes about 5-30 minutes. During that time, you can make outgoing calls from either phone but only your AT&T phone will ring. Once the port process is complete, you'll get a text on your Verizon phone. At that point, the AT&T phone will no longer be connected to your number.
If you didn't request the port, you'll need to call customer service.
Yes, you MUST leave your AT&T account active until the port process is complete or you will lose your number.
Best of luck.
