Can i get the iphone for verizon or just at&t?

pretty self-explanetory. i wanrt an iphone rediculously bad, but my parents wont let me switch over to at&t. is there any way to get one for verizon? or is there talk about expnding to different networks or can i only have an iphone with at&t?

Apple approached Verizon in regards to the iPhone at or about the same time as they approached AT&T - before the iPhone was a finished product. AT&T agreed to most or maybe all of Apple's demands/requirements for the iPhone before seeing the finished product - and from a computer company that had never produced a cell phone before. With Apple and Verizon not being able to come to terms, this left AT&T with not only being the largest carrier in the U.S. in regards to the number of subscribers at the time, but the largest GSM network provider in the U.S. Manufacturing a GSM iPhone only makes sense in regards to testing and support along with GSM networks dominating the overall worldwide market by a very significant margin.
If someone believes Apple is too controlling, Apple has nothing over Verizon. Unless Verizon does a 180 in regards to the control they exert and require with the phones they carry and with their business practices, I doubt the iPhone will ever be available with Verizon even after they have their LTE network up and running across most of the country. A couple of examples that would affect the iPhone - Verizon supports visual voicemail with a couple of phones that support visual voicemail access, which were introduced after the iPhone and Apple/AT&T incorporated visual voicemail with the iPhone. Verizon charges an additional monthly fee for visual voicemail access with the phones that support it. I believe the only way to have music on a Verizon phone is by purchasing music from Verizon's online music store. This would be a direct conflict with iTunes, which doesn't require purchasing music from the iTunes store to transfer music to the iPhone, and would leave Verizon completely out of the loop in regards to additional potential revenue that would be lost with the iPhone.

  • Firstly, I can't open iPhoto on my macbook as of a few days and could it have anything to do with a problem I have updating my iPhone's software as I've downloaded extra iCloud storage but I still can't get the iPhone to recognise the space for software

    Firstly, I can't open iPhoto on my macbook as of a few days and could it have anything to do with a problem I have updating my iPhone's software as I've downloaded extra iCloud storage but I still can't get the iPhone to recognise the space for software

    No. With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    what do you see when iPhoto opens?
    what fixes have you tried?
    where is your library located?
    did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    what type of Mac?
    how much free space on your boot drive?
    For the iPhone issue ask in the iPhone forum.

  • I have just won an iphone 3gs in a raffle but when i put in my sim it tells me that it is not supported how can i get the iphone to work

    I have just won an iphone 3gs in a raffle but when i put in my sim it tells me that it is not supported how can i get the iphone to work?

    In that case the procedure assuming it is a PAYG phone is to get an o2 PAYG sim, put £20 on it and then make a few calls making sure you leave £15 on the sim to pay for the unlock. Then there is an online unlock request form on the o2 site just fill this in. It takes between 1-14 days and you get a message from o2 telling you how to complete the official unlock through iTunes.
    I got my o2 unlock in nov 09 so this is not just opinion.

  • Where can I get the driver for my HP DE8A4L external USB CD/DVD drive?

    Where can I get the driver for my HP DE8A4L external USB CD/DVD drive? 
    On the label it says, Model HSTNN-PD06-91
    and
    HP PN: 518819-001 Rev.B
    I've had my Mini 110-1000 running our music system for a couple of years, no complaints.  When I wanted a CD/DVD drive, I purchased a DE8A4L external USB drive directly from HP.  It didn't come with a driver disc.  When I plug it in, the USB subsystem does not enable it.  Device Manager shows a yellow exclamation point, saying, "Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware..."   It is running Windows XP Home Edition SP3.
    What gives with this device?

    Following up on tactic 2) above, I upgraded the BIOS from version F07 to the latest version available on the HP download site, version F19.  This went well, but unfortunately the system still does not recognize the device.
    When I try to Device Manager, and select the DE8A4L DVD device, and try "search for a device driver", it says it cannot find a better match for the driver already installed.
    This Mini 110-1000 only came with 1 Gb RAM, and Windows XP Home.   Is one of these a critical limitation for running an external USB DVD drive?

  • This is a stupid question but I needed to ask because I don't want to go there and not being able to buy it, but can I get the iPhone 5 brought straight there when I go to an apple store?

    This is a stupid question but I needed to ask because I don't want to go there and not being able to buy it, but can I get the iPhone 5 brought straight there when I go to an apple store?

    And I meant go to the apple store physically without preordering it online, and I meant the Southampton one. So could I just stroll in apple store and buy a iPhone 5 in Southampton apple store and buy the iPhone 5 straight away? Because I didn't want to have to wait? I just want to go in and buy it and go out with it, if you guys get what I mean? And felipeV if it is in stock could I just buy it and leave with my iPhone 5?

  • Where can we get the data for pre calculated reports

    Hi,
    i want to see the data for pre calculated reports (Reporting agent)
    where can we get the data for pre calculated reports
    Thanks & Regards,
    Shaliny. M

    Dear,
    This feature of precalculating reports is to enhance the report performance. You will need to schedule this periodically, so that the report is fetched and cached. This allows faster retrieval of report data. Plz. understand that, this scheduling needs to run after every data load in the corresponding cube, so that, the latest data is cached, else the report data will be obsolete.
    Thanks

    Well I assume that if the laptop is under warranty you should be able to get service for it. You can check the warranty status at http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=LOOK-WARNTY#sw  That should tell you what the terms of your warranty are. If it is an international warranty you can get service at your local lenovo distributor. My t61 for example has a 3 year warranty that is valid in Turkey,. But also I have 1 year international, 2 years pan-Europeand and 3 year Turkish warranty. That was one ofthe stipulations in the contract when our thinkpads were purchased....
