Best prepaid service when using a  3gs Iphone in San Francisco:

I am interested in buying my first IPhone (a 3gs) and I would like to utilize it with a prepaid service such as  Straight Talk.
Is there is particular prepaid provider that is recommended for the San Francisco area?
Also related to that question is it better to obtain a locked or unlocked phone (Straight Talk appears to allow unlocked GSM and locked GSM such as AT&T)?
Thanks
Denis
Alameda, CA

I appreciate everyone's input, especially the suggestion to check out Pageplus (which runs on Verizon).
I also realize that a 3gs IPhone is a GSM and that I would need an IPhone 4 or newer that is compatible with CDMA network.
Thanks,
Denis

    If you are having the same issue on several computers then it is a hardware issue! Not a software issue! Replacement is the only resolution!

  • No audio when using FaceTime on iPhone.

    No audio when using FaceTime on iPhone. The video works, but just static is heard during call. I have attempted multiple calls to another iphone and my mac. Should I send the phone in for repair?

    Hi Anne-Lill Holme,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you are not being heard during FaceTime calls on your iPhone 6, I recommend starting with these troubleshooting tips:
    Restart your device.
    If using FaceTime over a Wi-Fi network, go to the steps to resolve Wi-Fi network issues.
    From:
    iOS: Troubleshooting FaceTime
    Next, I recommend testing your iPhone 6 microphone in other applications, such as Voice Memos. 
    If you cannot be heard on recordings in other apps, see this article for additional troubleshooting help:
    If your voice is too faint or sounds unclear using iPhone, or iPod touch

  • How to prevent email when using find my iphone

    Hi there,
    Am I the only that finds the email confirmations annoying when using find my iPhone?
    Is there any way to prevent these emails, or a preference somewhere to turn them off?

    Apple:
         Considering the threads here and on other Internet sites, this is clearly a safety issue.  As a parent who uses this feature on my children's phone - this feature should be optional.  Notifying the bad guy when you are searching for your phone/child is not an option.  Thank you.

  • I accidentaly clicked "remove" when using find my iphone...how do I log in when my iphone is not with me to find it?

    i was using "find my iphone" and when given the location it was an old location. A post read that the iphone was either turned off or the wifi was not being used. A remove or cancel  button appears with this message. I accidentally clicked cancel and now when trying to retrive information about the location of my device it says that I must refresh page or set up instructions. There must be a way to reinstate my account without my device physically present but I do not know how...can someone help me?

    What ever device you still have on had.  Go to settings - general - about - name - then the name.
    I have 4 devices 2 iphone and ipad - which I've name differently so I don't get confused when using find my iphone.

  • I bought an iPhone in San Francisco and I live in Ecuador, I need a place to claim the world apple warranty in Ecuador, because I have a problem with the screen

    I bought an iPhone in San Francisco and I live in Ecuador, I need a place to claim the world apple warranty in Ecuador, because I have a problem with the screen

    There is no "world apple warranty" on iPhones. As paulcb points out, the warranty is only valid in the country of origin. You will have to bring it to the U.S. or send it to someone you know there to get it serviced.

  • Ipad is showing as offline when using "find my iphone"

    Hi
    I am having trouble getting my ipad to be located using find my iphone.  This was working and has now stopped working (and did stop working prior to installing iOS 5 so im pretty certain its nothing to do with my software update the other day)
    I have downloaded the app, location services are on as are push notifications and of course find my iphone is enabled.  Ipad is definately on and connected to the net as its only the wifi version.
    When i try to find it, it says that its offline.  I have tried a whole lot of things so far and nothing as worked
    -  turned airplane mode off/on - restart - no luck
    -  turned push notifications off/on - no luck
    - turned location services off/on - no luck
    -  deleted my icloud account and then added again - no luck
    -  deleted the app and downloaded again (clutching at straws at this stage!) and still no luck
    I read somewhere that it could be to do with me recently changing my apple ID which i did a couple of weeks ago - the suggestion that i read was to change my apple id back and it should work.  Problem is that my old apple ID was 6 letters long and no capitals, so i can't change it back even if i wanted to
    Also what annoys my is that i can actually locate my iphone sweet as just not my ipad
    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    No. It must be online in order to locate it.
    What To Do If Your iDevice Is Lost Or Stolen
    iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad
    If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if it is connected to the Internet by Wi-Fi or cellular. What you cannot do is track your device using a serial number or other identifying number. You cannot expect Apple or anyone else to find your device for you. You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.
    If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:

  • For some strange reason, maps don't render when using Find My iPhone.

    After updating to IOS 8.1 (or maybe a coincidence), whenever I use Find My iPhone app on my phone, or Apple Maps, I only see the gridlines but no other detail about roads, etc. Anyone experiencing this, and any solution? Thanks.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select

    from the menu bar at the top of the screen. Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take one of the actions that you're having trouble with.

  • What's the best wireless service to use?

    Hello!
    My client would like to know what's the best unlimited service plan (Verizon? AT&T? T-Mobile?) to get for wireless Internet on his MacBook Pro (Mac OS X 10.5.5; Leopard). Do they have devices with USB and card with the antenna? I don't know how well these providers support Apple computers. It would be nice if it has PC support too to use between laptops/notebooks if needed.
    This is important if there is no wifi, remote locations, etc. Also, prices are not an issue, fast speeds, and no caps are recommended. It should be similiar to his Palm Treo 680 smartphone, but it is very slow so hopefully the ones for MacBook Pro won't be slow.
    Thank you in advance.

    scb wrote:
    It is my understanding that at present, no more unlimited plans exist. The Aircards (PCMCIA, Express, or USB) do work for OS X. That will not be an issue. The speeds are not good. They are barely 2-4 times modem speeds, at best, and under the best circumstances. The cards will be free, but expect $60/month for the top services.
    Note: Sprint may have an All-for-one plan that will allow your cell phone to be used as a modem, if your cell supports that. This will cost $99. I am not certain about this.
    I am not sure how that works with a Treo 680 (a smartphone) that already has Internet and it's slow too (guess 2-4 times as well?).

  • Failure to generate WSDL from web service when use xmlbean

    Hi, I have a web service that uses xmlbean generated by schema. The schema from 3rd party is in a separate project since it's used by another web app and ejb project. In wlw103 I have included the schema project in this web service project's Java Build Path. The web service compiles, but when I tried to generate WSDL a Error window shows and says "The WSDL cannot be generated from the web service due to unexpected runtime errors".
    The following is the detail. What do I need to do to make the xmlbean available for my web service? Thanks

  • Do you need service to use iMessage on iPhone 4S?

    I've bought an iPhone 4S off a friend and it has a SIM card without service, so iMessage says "waiting for activation..."  So, you need service to use iMessage? I tried reinstalling iOS 6, nothing.

    Activating iMessage on an iPhone requires sending an SMS. If your phone has no service, I don't see how you'd be able to do that.

  • My lycos mail account when used with my Iphone 6, is not syncing with my Ipad or PC mail.

    I am using an iphone 6 with the new updated iOs8.  My email account, Lycos, is not in sync when using Ipad, Iphone vs PC.  The account syncs when I use the Ipad or PC, but not when using the Iphone.

    Purchases to an iPad can be done automatically by going to: Settings>iTunes and App store and clicking on Automatically download music/apps you are able to toggle the cellular data switch to expedite the download if your device has cellular data.
    Good luck.
