ATT MicroCell and old iPhone

I have a near original version of iPhone with all updated software available. Works fine except at home, use when away or traveling, but no reception at home. Yesterdday got free ATT 3G Micro-Cell, but can't activate, probably because my phone not 3G or later. Does anyone know a workaround so I can get home reception with M-C or otherwise. I'll upgrade when iPhone 5 comes along.
Thanks... Frank

  • Can I save messages from both my new and old iphone

    I was unable to set up my new iphone 6 right away due to computer issues where my itunes and phone backup are stored. Now I have messages on both my new and old iphones that I don't want to lose, but I need to restore my new phone with the backup of the old. Is there any way to add the messages from the new iphone to the backup of the old?

    Not really - but at least you are thinking about it in advance which is good
    The restore from backup as you know is a snapshot in time of your phone
    So if you restore from the old - you lose the new messages after that point
    You may be able to use software like TouchCopy to get the messages off your phone - either old or new

  • 3G and old iPhone docks

    I noted that I cannot put the new 3G into my old iPhone dock. Does anyone know why the difference? The phone dimension are very similar! In addition to getting a new phone, I will have to get new docks for the car charger, car stereo and office. Bummer!!!

    Jorge is right. I tried to put mine in the old iPhone dock and the only thing keeping it from fitting in is the curved back of the new phone, whereas the old one was flat. The official iPhone 3G dock is available on Apple's online store..but it is 30 bucks....kind of price-y for a dock that should have been free.
    EDIT: Here's the link

    I'm going to have to buy it because I can't live without a dock....

  • Differences Between New and Old iPhones

    Other than data connection speed, is (are) there any real big difference(s) between first and second generation iPhones? Are there any apps that won't run on my first gen (which is up-to-date with version 2.1) phone? I'll eventually upgrade, but I'm recently retired, and trying to take it easy on my wallet, plus I'm real happy with my current phone, so later is preferable to sooner in doing so.
    One specific area I have a question about is "built-in" GPS function. Am I right in thinking it is the same on both old and new phones, as long as both are running the version 2.1 operating systems? Will any add-on hardware modules (either currently or being) designed to provide "true" GPS navigation by attaching to the 3G phones connect/work with 2G models as well?
    Thanks in advance for your help/advice.

    The first generation iPhone you're referring too doesn't have a GPS chip at all. Instead the 2g relies on using cell phone towers, (3 to be precise), to triangulate your signal and estimate where you are based on that. While the 3G GPS is far from perfect in location tracking itself, it is in theory far more accurate than cell tower triangulation. You will also find that most of navigation apps available in the app store will specify that they're designed for the iPhone 3g as it has a GPS chipset and the 2g version doesn't.
    I hope this helps clear it up for you

  • TS1702 My brand new iphone5 will not connect to my home wifi even though my ipad and old iphone do connect with no problem. What can I do?

    My brand new iphone5 will not connect to my home wifi even though it recognizes it. My ipad and my old iphone4s connect with no problem. Any thoughts?

    Although your other devices connect okay, it would be worth resetting your router by switching if off for disconnecting it from mains power for 2 minutes and then switch it on again.
    Good luck and do report back.

  • HT204053 I have iphone 4 and it is using my wife  . My new iphone 5 and old iphone 4 both were used same apple password, but different e-mail address . Now both apple id has beed blocked. What do I have to do.

    My both of iphone id blocked. What do I have to do?

    Sorry, but nobody here can help you nor can Apple.  The only way to disable Activation Lock on your devices is to use the password for the AppleID associated with that devices iCloud account.  There is no alternative - you need that password, or you need your friend to disable those devices in their online account.

  • HT1937 How unlock my old iphone 4, now i have a new iphone5 and continuos w ATT

    How unlock my old iphone 4, now i have a new iphone5 and continuos w ATT

    Authorized Unlock an AT&T iPhone

  • Unlocked old iPhone 3GS for use with pay as you go sim in the UK on vacation. O2 sim works while ph plugged in.  Unplugged, works short time and crashes.  Sometimes won't even re-boot.  Software on phone up to date as far as 3GS goes.

    I brought an old IPhone 3GS to the UK on vacation for use with sim card.  I had the phone unlocked with approval and instructions from ATT.  Store in the UK recommended O2 pay as you go sim which works as long as the phone remains plugged into the wall.  Once unplugged, it will work for a short time and then always crashes.  Sometimes it will re-boot and crash again and sometimes it will not re-boot at all.  One store told me to sync with itunes which I did on my Mac Book.  I don't know if the sim is defective or if the software of the 3GS is just not compatible with the sim when on the battery.  I have updated the software on the phone as far as it will go.  Any suggestions?  Maybe the phone is too old to use with the latest pay as you go sim cards.  I am disappointed that this phone has not been reliable as a pay as you go and I have had to purchase a UK phone here in order to have a reliable phone.

    There is nothing you can do. You bought an illegally unlocked phone off Ebay. A lot of sellers there will tell you it is unlocked but the first time you try to update the operating system it will put the lock back on to the carrier the phone was originally locked to. Sorry but unless the carrier it was locked to will unlock the phone I am afraid you have a very expensive paper weight now. You should have bought it from a reputable dealer instead of ebay.

  • IPhone 5 Not Working With ATT Microcell

    This morning I received my new iPhone 5.  I have an iPhone 4S and it was working fine this morning and showing the M-Cell symbol in the upper left of the iPhone 4S before I uathenticated my iPhone 5.  The authentication with AT&T of my iPhone 5 went perfectly and I have phone service and all is working fine EXCEPT I no longer have the AT&T Microcell showing in the upper left of my iPhone 5, and I have a weak cell signal (as expected) indoors at my location wiith the iPhone 5. 
    Has anyone who has an AT&T iPhone 5 suceeded in getting their AT&T Microcell to be recognized by thier iPhone 5?  If so, did you do anything special? My AT&T Micro-cell is showing all green lights on the front so there is no problem there.
    Tom

    You log into your account, manage devices on the AT&T website, find your microcell, deactivate it then you will have to put in all the details again to reactivate it, your address, microcell serial number ect, primary phone number and after that it starts the reactivation sequence and software upgrade which takes around an hour, then you get a text message to say it's been done then you toggle aircraft mode on and off and your phone should see the microcell again like your old iphone did.

  • Is it possible to get my old iphone 3gs from att to work on a verizon network?

    is it possible to get my old iphone 3gs from att to work on a verizon network?

    No - your iPhone is a GSM phone and Verizon uses a CDMA network. Completely incompatible device and technology.

  • ATT Microcell works with one iPhone in the house but not the other

    A client of mine got new two new iPhone 6 phones when he and his wife signed up for ATT service. What ATT failed to tell him is that they don't have a tower in the area where he lives and he gets no cell reception from his house, and has one bar while standing in his driveway. Extremely frustrated, they went back and complained. ATT's answer (of course) was to then sell them a Microcell device. Oddly the Microcell they received is a small black box with only a single ethernet port in back. It is not like the white 'Y' designs you see online. The whole thing seems like a money making scam to me but that's beside the point. Anyway, I went over and hooked up the Microcell to their Xfinity router from Comcast, then logged into their ATT account and initiated the activation process. It took about 30 minutes to complete all four stages which included downloading a software update. Once the Microcell was activated, one of the Iphones had full bars. However, the other iphone still only had a single bar. Why would one iPhone have full bars and the other still have only a single bar?  1. Tried turning off both phones and turning them back on. Problem persisted.2. Tried moving the phone with a single bar coverage right next to the Microcell. Problem persisted. 3. Tried turning off just the iphone that had full bars. Problem persisted.4. Tried resetting the Microcell device. Problem persisted.5. Tried disconnecting both phones from the wireless internet network for the house. Problem persisted.  Really confused on this could be happening with just one of the two iphones in the house.

    AT&T has not completely updated the MicroCell page and links. The new MicroCell is the black DPH-154 model which is replacing the white "Y" shaped models and you describe it. Functionally, they are currently the same. The only difference is that Cisco/AT&T has done away with the external antenna port and the Computer port. It's not a money making scam.
    You can have multiple phones connected to the MicroCell at any one time without issues. One of the iPhones I assume has the phone number that is associated with the AT&T mobile account. That should be the phone number used to register the MicroCell with (what we call the primary number). The other iPhone, which I will assume is on the same account, needs to be added to the Approved Users List. Once you add the "problem" phone, turn off the phone and then turn it back on so that it can add the MicroCell to its cellular neighborhood.

    trying to active my old iPhone 3gs. it showing that activation server is temporary unavailable and on the iTunes showing that there is no sim card installed in the iPhone you are attempting to activate. I unlocked my phone then i upgrade it, after that this happen. i tried with other sim same message come again and again.if any body know solution let me know. thanks

    Was the SIM card activated on another phone? I assume this is an ATT style trying to use on T-Mobile? Was the SIM installed correctly? Is the carrier (like T-Mobile) operating IOS 6 devices yet?
    If the SIM is a valid SIM from say T-Mobile, you may want to contact them for assistance activating the SIM card.
    Activation and SIM issues typically point to the carrier. And if this was a CDMA phone say working with verizon, it will NOT work for ATT or T-Mobile as they use different electronics on the 3GS. The SIM slot is for international use only.

  • Recieved old iPhone and want to use as iTouch

    I cannot seem to find a situation in the forums to describe my situation.  I was given an old 8GB original iPhone by someone who upgraded.  I just want to use it as an iPod Touch - no phone service.  I have the original deactivated sim card.  I have an iTunes account.  I do not have another iPhone or another ATT sim card.  Is there any way to do this without a new sim card or dealing with ATT?

    Diesel, I do appreciate your response, but I did read that message and it was of no help to me for my situation.   The problem is that the discussion you link to starts with the summary: "If you upgrade your iPhone to a newer model, you can continue using your old iPhone without an active cellular service."  As I stated above, I recieved this old iPhone from someone else, and I do not have a new iPhone or new iPhone sim card, both of which are required for the solution you propose.  Does anyone else have a solution, other than jailbreaking the phone?
