Call 1-800-MY-IPHONE to activate?

That's Apple's iPhone support number. It just opened. I am on the phone now with the rep who is looking into my 14 hour activation nightmare. Will keep you posted.

Like so many, we waited over five hours in line to get the phone, rushed home to activate it, and received the email saying that our activation will take more time. We waited another several hours (not in line though) to find out that my AT&T plan was incompatible (Yes, I was an existing customer for years since the last time they were AT&T, but customer loyalty doesn't matter here).
After speaking to several people, I am now once again on hold to get my phone activated. I seriously doubt the decision of Apple to go with AT&T. They were caught completely off guard and are mired in antiquated forms of customer support and bureaucracy. Adding insult to injury is that I am forced to listen to how the "NEW" AT&T is so cool on a repetitive loop while on hold for what will a very long time.
Apple will suffer from this partnership and so will your loyal customers. Please do something about this.

    how to call 1-800-MY-APPLE on iphone 4s

    Contacts or phone numbers on webpages that contain alphabetic characters beyond seven digits may not dial as expected. Example: 1-800-MY-IPHONE or 555-1212x1234.
    In these instances, either remove the additional letters or use a pause to dial the extension (555-1212,1234).

  • Can't make calls or sms on iphone 3gs after iOs5 upgrade?

    I upgraded to iOS5 on my iphone 3gs and I am having major problems connecting to the 3g network. I can't make or recieve calls or sms, or log on to the internet over the 3g network. wifi works fine, but that doesn't help with the calls or the sms, and i can't always be on wifi for my emails. the phone worked fine before the upgrade.
    i've restored the entire phone as a new phone, i've gone in to the apple store and had my phone looked at, they say there's nothing wrong with the hardware.
    i live in Canada and my carrier is Rogers - of course when I call them for help they say it must be the phone not their network. they'd rather i buy a new phone and sign another 3 year contract
    the only thing that seems to help is restoring network settings. immediately after doing that I can make calls, send and receive sms, and use the internet over 3g. but it only fixes it temporarily... after about 15 mins I'm back to the same problem. can't make or receive call etc.
    anyone else having this same problem?
    anyone know of a solution?

    After 2 hours with Apple Support, which was great, we figured out the issue. 1-800-my-iphone. When I upgraded to iOS5 and started using the iCloud, I was unaware that my previous synching settings were still set to Yahoo.com where I had been sycning wirelessly in the past. So the Apple support tech showed me that I had multiple accounts in both Notes and Contacts. I had iPhone, iCloud, yahoo, Outlook accounts and my default settings on the iphone should have all been set to icloud. Syching was occuring, but not in icloud. It took a little manual conversion of some Notes and Contacts into the icloud folders in Outlook, but now everything works and I only display and use the iCloud accounts in Notes and Contacts. Apple realizes that this is an issue for those of us that were previously using Yahoo and equivalents for wireless synching and they provded my support free. Usually they charge $27. All is well.

  • High pitched and prone to breaking up phone calls via Continuity through iPhone 5s on computer end

    On my Mid 2011 Mac mini running OS X 10.10, when I attempt to call someone through my iPhone 5s, the sound is extremely high pitched and prone to breaking up on my end. It sounds fine on the other end, when I use my iPad 2, and when I just call on my iPhone. Any idea why? Sound recording of my voicemail login prompt from my Mac: https://mega.co.nz/#!ocRWgLoD!P-Ps_mHRgXAag1jfaYPU2ZpGfECVP2YR9Z-E4G4Z4Sk

    I'm experiencing the same issue between my 5s (8.0.2) and my late 2012 Mini (10.10).  It reminds me of the kind of sounds you get with digital audio clocking issues between devices.  I've scoured the internet, tried several different solutions, and nothing has worked yet.

    The screen is black . i can.t get it to  respond.Power + home soft reset didnt work. Itunes could detect any sync  apps. I used my home phone to call my iphone and on my home phone i can  hear the calling tone.But my iphone didn't ring/screen did not light  up. Its a iphone 4. Any ideas how to fix this?

    If the basics (restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new) don't work, you'll need to bring the phone to Apple for evaluation

  • Is it possible to access my calendar while on a phone call on my Verizon iPhone?

    When I'm on a phone call on my Verizon iPhone 4, it doesn't appear that I can leave the phone screen to view, for example, my calendar.  Is there a way to access my calendar while on a phone call?  Thanks in advance for your time and responses.

    During a call, press the home button (note the green bar at the top of the screen).  Navigate to your Calendar app and open it.
    The Calendar app won't be able to update OTA during the call but you should be able to see everything that was there before the call.

  • HT4515 Activating call forwarding on my iPhone 4S & iphone 5,

    Activating call forwarding on my iPhone 4S & iphone 5, I go into "settings", then "phone" then "call forwarding" and then enter the phone number, after that there's nothing, if I exit out of it it just cancels itself out, ANY IDEA's??
    Thanks Jeff M

    Contact your carrier and make sure you have call forwarding provisioned on your account. Or log on to their customer portal and see if you can check or set the option yourself.

  • How do I retrieve call history from my iPhone 4S? It only seems to log for about a month and I need an earlier date?

    How do I retrieve call history from my iPhone 4S? It only seems to log for about a month and I need an earlier date?

    If you have backup of your files, you can get your call history back as long as you sync iPhone with iTunes frequently.
    OK, the first thing you are required to do is close the function of "prevent iPhone from syncing automatically." in iTunes, avoiding to sync iPhone again.
    Now, connect your iPhone to pc and open iTunes.
    iTunes> preferences> devices
    All the backup data in iTunes will be displayed.
    Then,click the File menu and select Devices > Restore from Back up
    your iPhone will restart and you can find them back.
    This method only can find back the latest history, to get back the old, you should turn to a third party program for help.

    Since my update to iOS 8 every time we get a call, each phones rings, but we still won't this because only one is mentioned with this call, please help us to stop that, however?

  • Do I get full conference call management options on iPhone 6 model A1549 if using it with GSM carriers?

    I have iPhone 6 model A1549, bought from and currently using with Verizon. You all must be aware that we can use the same phone for GSM carriers like at&t as well. Now we all know that some of the features related to conference calling are not available on CDMA carriers, like we cant have more than 2 callers, and we can't manage conference calls by making the conversation with one party private for some time and again switching back to conference mode, disconnecting a particular party instead of having to end the entire call etc. reference link- iPhone: Understanding phone features - Apple Support These features are available on GSM models and carriers, I just wanted to ask if I use a GSM SIM from a GSM carrier on this model, do I get these additional conference call management options or I am restricted to Verizon like experience while being on at&t (and while using the at&t SIM in this model)

    Yes, I am dealing with this right now on at&t with a 6 plus. I've been down the same road as you. I got it to work with a windows phone yesterday but not my 6 plus when I switched back to the iPhone. My wifes 6 works fine. I believe it is an at&t issue and not an 8.3 issue. After dealing through several levels of support at at&t, they are telling me it has to do with their transition to hd voice. Some people are having this issue because they are updating their system and some peoples phone profile, on phones that have hd voice capabilities, are not getting added to their line and call forwarding will not work without it. I have a trouble ticket open to their engineering dept and they promise it will work for me on or before the 24th of april. Engineering has to build my phones profile so call forwarding will work with my iPhone.
    This is frustrating because like you, I need to forward my calls because I have no signal in my office and need to forward to another phone so I can get my calls. If at&t would quit dragging their feet and enable wifi calling, this wouldn't be an issue for me. I would suggest you put more pressure on at&t and escalate this until it gets resolved. Or put your sim in a phone that does not have hd voice capability and see if it works then.
    Good luck. I'm keeping my fingers crossed this will be fixed for me on or before the 24th. We'll see.
    EDIT: I see you did put it in another phone and it worked. That backs up that the issue is at&t and their hd voice upgrades. They had no explanation as to why some work and some don't, but have them make sure a profile for your phone is on the line. If not, they'll need to build one for the phone so that it''l work. At least that's the story for now. Like I said, I'll know more in a day or two.
