Charged for checking voicemail remotely?
My wife is currently using the 0.99 prepaid daily plan. After browsing the other posts here, it appears she is not charged her daily access fee when she receives a call and does not answer it. If she checks her voicemail remotely (say from our home phone), does this trigger teh 0.99 usage fee?
I have the pre pay (not the monthly one) the daily prepay and I have the Core plan and pay 99 cents per call when used, I have been charged the 99 cents for answering my voice mail both by landline and cell. Prepay customers: To access your Voice Mail, press *VM (*86), then SEND. Follow the prompts to enter your password and retrieve your messages. Airtime usage applies for Voice Mail setup and retrieval in most areas. If you press *VM (*86) and hear your own or a system greeting, press the # key to interrupt the greeting and follow the prompts to enter your password and retrieve your messages. So if airtime appies to voice mail it will charge you 99 cents because it considered using air time.

How do you get charge for visual voicemail?
After reading a couple of post and being completely confused by them I tried an experiment. I turn airplane mode on and then proceed to check my voicemail from earlier.
The voicemail played without me connecting to AT$T. So this verifies that the actual voicemail is someone being pushed over to your phone. WHich explains why you can now play the voicemail in any order. (it's like playing songs like your ipod basically)
So then here's the question: DO we still get charged for listening to the message itself?
ON a traditional cell phone everytime you listen to a voicemail message you lose airtime according to how long you listen to that message. No with the iphone things are different. Voicemails are storage on the handset and not located at at&t.
Based on what i am reading there are two parts to the visual voicemail. 1.) the actual service that is "pushing" the voice messages to the iphone and 2.) listening to the messages
Since the message is already on the iphone there is no way for at&t track how many times or how long you've been listening to your voicemail.
So 2 things can happen. 1.) the visual voicemail plan actually covers the whole thing. Listening to messages on the phone and the service that does the pushing.
or 2.) as someone earlier posted, you still get charged for voicemail. It's charged before it's been pushed to your phone. So if X calls me and leaves me a 5 minute message, i will lose 5 minutes of airtime before before i even had a change to check the message.
NOw if number is true then that would suck.
Can someone verify if this is trueyou don't get charged per message.
There's a flat rate fee for the visual voicemail service that is included in the $20/month iPhone data plan.
The information gets sent via the Edge network to your phone, where it is stored until you delete it. -

I bought and was charged for some music. It is not in check for available downloads or the purchased file. It does show up on my view my account recent purchases. Where could this music be? I recently recovered from an iTunes problem and had to uninstall and reinstall and finally manged to get everything back to work. Except for this most recent purchase which just happens to be my son's band so I would really like to have it.

Hi, it's my first time to add an item in my cart and saved it but haven't checked it out yet. Does that mean that I will already be charged for the item?
No. Not until you check out.

Checking recipient is not charged for my call
Hello, I'm in Australia and I'm using my prepaid Skype credit to call someone on a landline in France. When she answers the phone it asks, "Would you like to accept a call from this person?" My balance goes down at reasonable rate so I know I'm being charged for the call, but I just want to check she is not being charged at a high rate for receiving the call. Could you please advise? Thanks!

Hello
It's unlikely that the recipient world be charged for receiving a landline call but they should check with their carrier to make certain.
TIME ZONE - US EASTERN. LOCATION - PHILADELPHIA, PA, USA.
I recommend that you always run the latest Skype version: Windows & Mac

SO CRAPPY!!! SO FED UP WITH VERIZON!! WE ARE GETTING SCREWED OVER!! I am being charged for 3 GB that apparently Verizon hadn't caught up on that I had used!! The last night of my cycle I called and checked and I had .5 GB left and right before midnight when the cycle ended it caught up on 3 GB!! I now have to pay for this data I know I did not use! I never have my data on!! Now it says I used 7 GB last month!!!
Data usages are always estimated...I don't believe any carrier post data usage in real time. I've had my data increased due to a large chunk being unaccounted for at the time of my cycle. Thankfully when I'm billed for it...it has never pushed me over my limit.

I just checked my bill online after upgrading my phone to a iPhone 6 and now I am being charged for something called Total Mobile Protection. Is this some kind of phone insurance or something?
I was never charged this before so was kind of upset to see it added on without my permission/knowledge (I specified to the Verizon Wireless agent in the store I went to that I only wanted the contract for the $60 2GB and Unlimited talk/text plan that I currently had. They said that would work).
How can I get this extra $10 a month off my bill?When you upgrade online you do have the option to deny this though the deny option is way down the page. make s it look like you have to choose an insurance option. Also I've done 2 recent upgrades in a retail store twice and both times they added the protection without asking. Luckily I always check my account so I easily removed this feature on the first day. Let's just say I won't be upgrading at this store ever again. No wonder people get mad when they upgrade multiple lines and their bill is $30, $40, $50 higher than what they a were told because of this unasked for feature.

How can I check if I currently have QuickTime 7? Is there a charge for QuickTime 7.7.3 and what is the charge for the QuickTime 7 Pro registration?
This is the iPhone forum, you should check the Quicktime forum. But, to try and help a little, I would say go to Help, About Quicktime and it should tell you what version it is. Also, Quicktime Pro does have a cost involved.

How do I acess my iTunes account to make sure I have not been charged for downloads which are showing up on my I pod I downloaded the 80's album but it looks like it has downloaded it more than once thanks
You can view the purchase history on your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option, on your account's details page there should be a purchase history section with a 'see all' link to its right : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2727

Hi - I rented a movie from iTunes and was charged for the rental. It downloaded to my iPhone 5 over wi-fi as usual, but on completion of the download, it then didn't appear in my movies app on the iphone. I can't find it either on iTunes in my account on my computer. But iTunes seems to think that I've already downloaded it, but I can't find it anywhere or watch it. Help! I've downloaded and watch plenty of movies before - this is a first. I've tried re-renting it, but it tells me that I've already rented it and if I download it again, I'll be charged a second time.
Help - anyone out there had the same problem or better still, have a solution????I had the same issue with my apple tv 3rd generation. I rented Sinister and selected the "rent and watch now" option. Half way through the movie I accidentally pressed the menu button. When I looked for the rented movie on my apple tv I could not find it. Not even above the movie pannel where "purchased" and "top movies" comes up on the main menu. the apple tv suggests to go to settings>downloads but I don't have that option. I did go to settings> itunes store> check rentals but that didnt work either. It took too long to even check. Thank you because this SOLUTION worked great.
SOLUTION: How to reset apple tv 3 3rd generation to view rented movies:on the apple tv remote: press and hold "menu" to go to the main menu. Select SETTINGS> GENERAL >RESET >RESET ALL SETTINGS. After the apple tv resets, input all your information again and your rented movies should be visible when you cruise above the "movies" section. THANK YOU!!
Apple needs to solve this issue because honestly it took me 3 hours and a half to watch a movie that only lasted 2 BECAUSE I wast trying to solve the issue, reseting and all. blahh. -
Battery life after checking voicemail
Ive been watching for similar problems but have come up empty handed. If I check voicemail it seems the iPonhe stays connected or something and it kills the battery in a couple hours. If I never touch voicemail the battery lasts a few days. Has anyone else seen this problem and found a solution?
It has happened since I got the phone at ver 1.7? I think it was.Never seen that problem but application hangs do happen. A reboot normally fixes the issue.
Also the current version is 2.1 so if you are not at 2.1 you should update.
(note, there never was a 1.7 but since you said you weren't sure ...)
Try a reboot (described below).
Think of it this way, the iPhone is more of a computer than a phone. It suffers from being a new OS and nobody can deny there are not bugs and memory leaks. The longer left running, the more things start to fail or slow down (I have had the iPhone since day one of original phone and I am just speaking from my experience). Thus I equate it to like when Windows95 came out...not sure of your age or if you remember those days...but back then it was a running joke of how many days you can keep Windows 95 running before you had to reboot. I am sorry to say but the iPhone is the same way right now (but getting better with a few hiccups back during the 2.0 release). So for me, I reboot daily when I leave in the morning and take it off the charger. By doing so I rarely see any lag or problems.
A reset/reboot is:
Go to Home Screen
Press and Hold Home Button
Keep holding and press and hold Lock Button
Keep holding Both
You will see Slide to Turn Off (Don't let go to slide, just keep holding)
The phone will turn off (in time, but screen will look like it has some white lines)
Keep Holding
When you see the Apple Logo, you can let go.
Turning off via the Slide to Turn off while good and fine to turn off, is more like the Sleep Mode on a computer. Thus any locked up issues in memory remain when you turn back on. A reboot as described is like doing a real Turn off and Turn On on a computer.

When am I charged for a Skype Call
My family is in Chile and I am wondering if I would be charged for skyping them from my ipone. My understanding is that if I am on wifi then no but what if I am using 3 G or 4 G. My daughtered messaged me when I was not on wifi.
So, bottom line, when do I incur charges on my phone from using skype.
When would I get international data charges
When would I get international phone charges
Thanks!some Skype services such as Skype-to-Skype calls, conference calls, chat and group chat, 1-on-1 video calls are indeed free of charge. However, some services such as Skype-to-mobile/landline number, group video calls, voicemail, SMS, online number, etc requires credits or subscriptions. Please also check if you ISP provider charge you on per data sent/received basis.

Charging for software on a BRAND NEW iPod Touch?
Glad to hear people are now getting the 2.2 download to work. Has anyone gotten anywhere asking Apple for justification for a $10 software upgrade on a brand new iTouch purchased within 30 days and given as a Christmas gift? (I gave 2!) This is even crazier than "Microsoft think".
There was another post comparing this to an upgrade from Windows XP to Vista - NOT SO. You would know a PC's OS in advance and you could weigh the cost of the PC PLUS an OS upgrade against whatever features you might miss by not having the latest OS. If you bought a PC back during the pre-Vista release you either received a coupon for an OS upgrade when Vista came out or you knew that the PC came with XP and you were OK with it. There was no disclosure of any kind when I was researching or purchasing the Touch.
So, I ask again, does anyone have any words from Apple justifying this charge for their brand new iPod Touch? We're not talking about units purchased months ago, just BRAND NEW devices that are effectively 4 days old for the gift recipients.Your iPods may be 'new' as opposed to 'used', but they were clearly not the latest models.
Any iPod that do not have the 2.2 software installed have to pay for it. This is because that the time they were manufactured by Apple and released the 2.2 software was not available. Apple sold those devices to the retailer before the 2.2 software was released and therefore you bought an 'old' model that is NOT entitled to the 2.2 software. It is not about when the device was sold it is about when it was manufactured. Apple do not know when the devices you have were sold to you anyway.
Apple does know the serial numbers of your devices and it does check to see if they are entitled to the update and clearly they are not as they were manufactured before the new software was released.
These are user support forums and are not manned by Apple. If you want Apple support then use the 90 day telephone support that came with your Apple product or the 12 month warranty which can be used in any Apple retail store.
You have not been 'flamed' in these forums we are just giving you the truth.
Just because you have a strange view or reality does not mean it is correct.
