Cellular Data Plan, email address does not accept .mobi

I signed up for a data plan on my IPad and I am forced to use an old email address that ends in  .net. in order to sign up.  The signup process for a Cellular Data plan will not accept an email address that ends in .mobi.  The error that appears is "Email address must be valid."  The email is valid, but the IPad will not accept it.
So the question is how do we get Apple to change the log in process to allow for valid email addresses ending in .mobi (or other new types that may be out there)?  This has been a problem since my first IPad with OS 4.
I have spoken with Apple support, my impression is that they listened, but it won't go anywhere.
thanks,
mike

Thanks for the replies, I just had the same problem yesterday and it was a misspelled e-mail address, BUT, it did take me three calls to AT&T and more than two and a half hours. The first person didn't even know what I was talking about and gave me a number for iPad support which turned out to be Apple's, so... no help. The second person told me they were there only to solve iPhone problems until I read her your posts, then she tried and tried until the call was cut off (this is AT&T after all). But the third person finally understood, even though it took her almost an hour to get to their iPad support department (she told me it was busy all the time) not before trying with their "technical department" also. I just can't believe that Apple sells millions of these things and AT&T can't supply a direct phone number for this department, or doesn't even train their personnel.

  • Can not view cellular data account any more (email address does not match)

    On iPad, was originally able to go into Settings > Cellular Data > View Account and view the account info. Now cannot. If try using correct email address and password, get message that account or password are incorrect. If try entering just the email address and clicking "forgot password", get "the email address you entered does not match the email address on file for this device".
    But the 3G cellular is still working.
    Don't know if related, but this problem began after the reports of the 100,000 iPads/users hack. Leads me to wonder if I got hacked.... or more likely if the system/database that "View Account" normally accesses is offline or being reworked by AT&T.
    Any suggestions? Best AT&T contact via Internet? By phone #? By local AT&T store? Via Apple? Use iTunes to reset to factory defaults and start over (risk loss of unlimited plan?)?.
    Thanks.

  • When Matching Users Via Email, Changing Email Address Does Not Change Login

    Well, the subject pretty much says it all, but here're some examples of what's going on:
    Initial Data
    - Create 2 Business Partners in SAP, C1 and C2.
    - Create 2 Contact Employees in SAP, Adam with email adam at eden.org in C1 and Eve with no email in C2.
    Synch
    - Run Initial Synch followed by Standard Synch (for good measure).
    - Web Tools gets user Adam with username adam at eden.org.
    - Web Tools gets user Eve with username 2, the unique key for SAP's Contact Employee.
    Data Change In SAP
    - Adam's email is removed.
    - Eve's email is populated with eve at eden.org.
    Resynch
    - Run Standard Synch.
    - Web Tools changes both email addresses, with Adam's being erased and Eve's becoming eve at eden.org.
    - Web Tools does not change the UserID, leaving Adam's as adam at eden.org and Eve's as 2.
    That last bullet is the big problem: if a user changes an email address, the username doesn't change. Is there any way to change this across the board, or perhaps even force users to login via their current email address?

    Also, there is a field in the Users table called EmailLogin. I have tried without success to change this field so that the user would use this field to login instead of the UserID, but have been unsuccessful in getting it to work.
    As an alternative, the login control in /plugins/loginblock.ascx contains, as a portion, the following code:
        protected void loginMain_LoggedIn(object sender, EventArgs e) {
            NPUser user = new NPUser(loginMain.UserName);
            ((NPBasePage)Page).Login(user.UserID, user.AccountID, false);
    Wouldn't it be simple to do the following?
        protected void GetUserIDFromDBByEmail(string email) {
            string userid;
            System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection conn = new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection();
            System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand cmd = new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand(conn, "SELECT Users.UserID FROM Users WHERE Users.Email='" + email.Replace("'", "''") + "'");
            userid = (string)cmd.ExecuteScalar();
            cmd.Connection.Close();
            conn.Close();
        protected void loginMain_LoggedIn(object sender, EventArgs e) {
            string userid;
            // Though we're passing the "username" from the form,
            // we know that we're expecting the email to be in it
            userid = GetUserIDFromDBByEmail(loginMain.UserName);
            NPUser user = new NPUser(userid);
            ((NPBasePage)Page).Login(user.UserID, user.AccountID, false);
    Again, the benefit to this is that you can synch using the Internal B1 Contact Code, which will remain constant and unique, and have the availability to change the way the user logs in by modifying the email address. Of course, email addresses would have to remain unique as well, but that's an easy enough thing to check for.

  • Jabber call to email address does not allow video because email has no CAPs and it goes ext not int

    Jabber, on a cloud based install, does not route the call internal when you hover over the persons email address because there are no caps as in AD (ie [email protected] vs [email protected]) so you cannot use video only audio because we only allow video internal.   How can you have webex connect or Jabber use the caps in an email address to allow for internal routing. 

    I believe by default that SIP URI default to case sensitive.  So you can have two users in Callmanager 10x for example [email protected] and [email protected] and be seperate people. In CallManager their is a Enterprise Parameter for URI and case sensitive.  Not sure aobut WebEx cloud.

    Reset your iPad and try again.
    Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider.

  • I'm not receiving email replies for everyone, only some people are able to reply to me! They get a message 'email address does not exist'?

    Hi! I have been sending emails and receiving some relies, but have had fiends tel me that when some of them go to reply, they get an error message 'this is not a valid email address' and the reply bounces back! Anyone know what I need to do in my settings?

    We are short on information. Settings may depend on your Mac OSX version, which we don't yet know.

  • Password on iCloud email address does not work

    When I open mail on my Macbook it asks me for my icloud password (@me.com). I recently changed that. However when I enter this it doesnt recognise it!
    The same password works from my iphone. I simply entered the new password on the email settings.
    Any suggestions?

    If the old ID ("email address") is your ID, and if your new ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • Why does DB2 Data Flow Task query does not accept a date coming from a string or datetime variable in SSIS?

    I am trying to compare a DB2 date format to a date variable from SSIS. I have tried to set the variable as datetime and string. I have also casted the SQL date as date in the data flow task. I have tried a number of combinations of date formats, but no luck
    yet. Does anyone have any insights on how to set a date (without the time) variable and be able to use it in the data flow task SQL? It has to be an easy way to accomplish that. I get the following error below:
    An invalid datetime format was detected; that is, an invalid string representation or value was specified. SQLSTATE=22007".
    Thanks!

    Hi Marcel,
    Based on my research, in DB2, we use the following function to convert a string value to a date value:
    Date(To_Date(‘String’, ‘DD/MM/YYYY’))
    So, you can set the variable type to String in the package, and try the following query:
    ACCOUNT_DATE  BETWEEN  '11/30/2013' AND  Date(To_Date(?, ‘DD/MM/YYYY’))

    I liked it until the "happily work with your IT department" part.. It's one thing to say they can contact them, but to say "happily"..... Nope nope nope nope...

    So I got a call from one of my co-workers this morning regarding an email that he has been trying to receive from a (vendor?) regarding generator information.  The domain is powersgenerator.com.
    In looking in my logs, sure enough there is a message in my amavis log regarding open relay:

    What is the best way to word an email to this person (in a respectful business manner) to tell him (probably not in IT at all, and will have no idea what I am talking about) the reasons his email was rejected?  Some examples would be awesome.

  • UTL_MAIL.send - 5.1.0 address does not conform to RFC 2821 syntax

    Hi,
    I am trying to get the UTL_MAIL package to run on my instance..
    But unfortunatly all examples fail...
    For example :
    BEGIN
    UTL_MAIL.send(sender => '<[email protected]>',
    recipients => '<[email protected]>',
    cc => '<[email protected]>',
    bcc => '<[email protected]>',
    subject => 'UTL_MAIL Test',
    message => 'If you get this message it worked!');
    END;
    results in following error message :
    ORA-29279: SMTP permanent error: 553 5.7.1 [email protected].. 5.1.0 address does not conform to RFC 2821 syntax
    Adding or removing the by the RFC 2821 required <> around the email addresses does not make any difference...
    I have checked the SMTP log, and in there the email addresses are stated WITHOUT the <> .....
    Somehow i am assuming that UTL_MAIL stripes the <> from the email address before submitting it to the SMTP server....
    Any ideas how to fix or debug ??
    Regards,
    Fred
    P.S. I have been submitting this from the 'SQL Commands' window, might this be the problem ?? If so, how else to test email functionality?
