Coming home for two weeks with unlocked 3GS.  advice?

i bought my 3GS in taiwan unlocked and i've been using it with my carrier over here. i'll be coming home for two weeks and i was wondering if anyone has any advice on how to get a pay as you go plan for when i'm at home. i'll be in portland. any advice would be appreciated.
thanks a lot!

Not sure if there is a local/regional GSM carrier in that area but if not, the only other GSM carrier in the U.S. that comes anywhere close to AT&T in terms of network coverage is T-Mobile, and I don't believe T-Mobile's 3G network in the U.S. is compatible with the 3G and 3GS, so it would EDGE or slower for data access with T-Mobile.
You can get data access with a pay-as-you-go plan, but data access with AT&T's network via pay-as-you-go will be expensive. AT&T is the only official carrier for the iPhone in the U.S. at this time.

  • I have been editing project for two weeks and now I get ghosts of other images fromt eh project coming up in the wrong places even though the thumbnail looks right. Help.

    Help. I have been editing a project for two weeks and now it gets ghosts of ohter images from the project coming up in the wrong places. The thumbnail has the correct image but the image either does not display and its black or an old image or another one shows.

    When I have problems like this I do two things. First I shut down and restart iMovie. Sometimes that rejuggles the date. But I am sure you have been doing that in such a long project.
    The Second thing I do is delete iMovie preferences, which can get corrupted.

  • Have family plan with 250 data which I almost use each month.  Going on vacation and will be on the road for two weeks.  Should I up my data for a month then change back.  Is it worth it or should I just run over and pay the extra 15 per gig?

    Hello mlazaretti. Vacation time is awesome. (Especially a road trip!) Since you will be going out for two weeks, you never know if having extra data may come in handy. I highly recommend switching to the next tier up so this way you have more data. This way it is only $10.00 more versus $15.00, and you dont have to worry about overages. Then change back at the start of the next billing cycle.
    If you need help making this change let us know! Have a safe trip!

    Go into your network preferences and click on your Wi-Fi connection then click the turn off Wi-Fi button wait a few seconds then turn it back on, then click the advance button at the bottom of the window, when the window opens click on the TCP/IP tab, check to make sure you have a valid IP address if you don't then click the renew DHCP lease button.  If you are still are having problems would it be possible to restart the router. 

  • For some reason, the last few apps I have tried to install, show just a faded app, with " waiting" underneath. I have pressed update but they have stayed the same for two weeks,

    Why won,t my apps download? They just say " waiting" below them. I have updated but they seem stuck for two weeks now

    Maybe .... One of these suggestions will work for you.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
    You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
    You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.
    If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

  • "keep me signed in for two weeks" box

    In the past, when I checked the "keep me signed in for two weeks" box,  It was possible to forego the signing in every time I wanted to view my email account.  Lately however, this is ignored and I must log in with my email name and password every time I go to the home page.  This doesn't happen in Google Chrome or AOL.  It's a minor thing, but still annoying.  Anyone else have this problem?

    We have had this problem forever, along with the ever changing MyVerizon Home Page. We can tell when our login is going to fail based upon what user name it greets on the top right-hand side of the page. I continue to post how many logins we can have per day and VZ employees continue to spew the company lie that this is for our protection. The VZ line is that the logouts are to prevent someone else from accessing your account and changing settings. Now we all know how often family members get in and purposely change settings. Perhaps VZ should employ some engineers and programmers who can fix the problem that VZ claims isn't a problem.

  • My ipad is jammed.... the screen is about icloud back up. "this ipad hasn't been back up for two weeks.bla2... but the problem is my screen is locked . i couldnt do any thing ! please help me .....

    my ipad is jammed.... the screen is about icloud back up. "this ipad hasn't been back up for two weeks.bla2... but the problem is my screen is locked . i couldnt do any thing ! please help me .....

    if you can not unlock your ipad, you need to plug it into itunes and do a restore.
    If it will not ben able to restore you need to put it in dfu mode (holding down power and home for 10 seconds untill the screen goes completly blank) and then itunes will say it is in 'recovery'. Try that

  • Iphoto won't fully open after computer being off for two weeks.

    After being gone for two weeks I came back home, turned on my computer and tried to load some pictures I had taken into IPhoto.  I opened the program but in only partially opened and all I get is the spinning pinwheel.  After waiting several minutes for the program to finish loading I finally had to force quit it.  After several attempts I gave up.  I've downloaded all updates and don't know what else to do.  I'm wondering if the most recent update is for Lion and I'm still running Snow Leopard.  Could that be the problem.  I've sent the reports to Apple but of course won't receive any response.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • IPod Touch sreen stops working after getting wet. After, work again normally for two weeks. Now, sometimes work, sometimes don't. Any clues?

    My iPod took a bit of rain when i'm cooming home. After that, the touch stops responding. I tried restart and everything, but I only get to destroy the iOS. After, I put the iPod under the notebook in order to try to dry him with the heat. The touch work again! I restored the iOS and everything goes fine for two weeks. Yesterday, I plug the iPod for use the iTunes and he wasn't recognized by the iTunes, and the touch stops working again. I restored again the iTunes start to recognize him, but the touch works for a little bit and stop again. I put it under the note and the touch works for time enough for me to turn off the iPod. Anybody has any ideia what is going on? Thanks.
    PS.: Sorry about my terrible english. Is not my mother langage.

    Thanks guys, I shut the thing off and left in a bowl with uncooked rice, in found several tips on the net saying that this might help absorve the wet, also this don't seem capable of creating damage to me. I think I will left the iPod in the bowl for three days before turning it on again, that seems ok?
    7 to 10 days is better, and the failure rate is very high, you may need a new iPod.

  • I get message "this ipad has not been backed up for two weeks..." It freezes on the screen, if I plug it in it does not let me shut it down and lock, it has virtually frozen my iPad, does not respond to cancel

    I get a message on my wife's iPad " this iPad has nor been backed up,for two weeks, an iPad backs up when it is connected to wifi, locked, and charging". The message will not go away, hit cancel and it does nothing iPad is frozen on this screen.  Plugged it in closed cover for a few hours, still frozen, what to do?

  • What do I need to do to power off my Ipad.  It has a message on the screen that it has not been backed up by icloud for two weeks and will not respond to anything.

    I charged my Ipad last night and this morning there was a message from icloud that it has not been backed up for two weeks.  I tried to click the ok but it will not respond.  I cannot even power off the Ipad.  Does anyone know what I should do?

    A reset should help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off button at the same time for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons and await restart. No content will be affected.

    Can anyone tell me how i get to speak to someone in customer service? they are retiring Forms Cental and i really need to speak to someone about the renewl of my subscription. THe live chat has been unavailable for two weeks and there is no other option to get in touch with these people. Any ideas anyone?

    Hi SwarovskiUK,
    I'm sorry to hear that you've been having trouble contacting Customer Care. Live Chat is certainly available--are you not seeing the chat option on the Contact Customer Care page? Or are just not able to get through?
    In any case, I should be able to help you myself. What can I do for you?

  • Order in progress for two weeks after the appointm...

    Hello,
    I have ordered BT Broadband on the New Year's Day. The appointment has been set for for two weeks ago - the Kelly Communications technician couldn't set up the line as there was a (unidentified) fault at the Exchange. The day after an Openreach technician showed up to look into the phone line but he also wasn't able to resolve the issue and advised to wait for BT to get in touch when the issue at the Exchange is sorted.
    Over the last 13 days there was no communication from BT regarding my order, I called them twice and the response was the same: we're looking at it, there is a fault at the Exchange, we'll come back with an update (which obviously they didn't).
    I have two concerns that I hope you can comment on:
    - Is there a point in getting in touch with the Exchange directly? Would they be able to look into it in paralell to the BT's efforts?
    - Is that possible the issue at the Exchange is unfixable within any reasonable timeframe (as BT support cannot provide any)? Can I in such case withdraw from the contract with BT and cancel the order without any adverse effects (fines etc.)
    I would appreciate your help.

    Well I thought I'll share an update.
    So getting extremely frustrated I have posted on this forum in high hopes that someone will finally pay attention to my order. It was Wednesday. I also called the BT (not-so-very-)help(-ful) line the very same day just to be told that I need to wait for an update until Monday. On Monday I have been made an appointment with a technician to come on Friday (today), 8am-1pm. I have received a phone call at 2pm (when I've already been in the office for 0.5h) from the technician who was standing at my door.
    To sum it all up, 10 days since when I had already been extremely frustrated I am in the very same position, having no phone line / broadband, my case didn't move forward by an inch. I have already stopped hoping to be treated seriously, with respect etc. I just hope that there is somebody out there in BT who has some leftovers of humanity and compassion who can treat a fellow human being with dignity it deserves.

  • I have been trying for two weeks to back up iCloud. I keep getting a message failure. Why??

    I have been trying for two weeks to backup iCloud and keep getting a message failure. Why? And how do I fix it?

    I agree with the Thomas, in that I think you have mucked up your settings in the AOL account. Your username should be something like - [email protected] Your password is whatever you use as the password.
    You could try deleting the account and start over again. Here is a link to a "how to set up AOL email " on the iPad. It is  4 or 5 step process and just make sure that you are entering the correct information in the correct fields in the set up. Among my 4 email accounts on my iPad, I have 2 AOL accounts. I have no problems at  all and it was really very easy to set up. There is no reason why AOL email should not work on your iPad.
    To repeat and emphasize - Just make sure that you are entering the correct information in the appropriate fields as I think that's where you are making your mistakes.
    If I had my choice, I would probably chuck the AOL accounts as well, but I have all the spam filters set as high as I can on the server, and it has cut down tremendously on the spam. Unfortunately - we set up AOL accounts at my workplace years ago and I really hesitate to change them now, so I continue on with these, but like I said, they work fine and they were very easy to set up.
