Ebay mobile features with iphone

I have a question. I use ebay frequently for buying, and noticed that they have an option for items that will send an im to your phone number.
the problem i'm having is that after completing the necessary forms, i never get any notices via my phone. I've noticed the same thing when trying to send sms messages to my phone from my computer.
Can anyone tell me if there is a setting in the iphone that i have to setup, or is the feature just not avaiable via iphone/at&t??
any help would be appreciated,
Thanks

  • 2013 Honda Civic Si, SMS Text Message Function says "Unsupported Device" when trying to use this feature with iPhone 5. Can anyone help with this?

    In my 2013 Honda Civic Si, I'm trying to use the SMS Text Message Function, but keep getting the error message, "Unsupported Device".
    I use an iPhone 5 with latest iOS 6.1.4.
    HandsFreeLink works perfectly fine with my iPhone for voice calls and for streaming Bluetooth Audio. Does text messaging not work because of iMessage? Does anyone have any suggestions for this issue?
    Thanks in advance!

    In looking for a 2013 Honda Civic (LX model, no Navi), the text feature was very interesting and important to me. Why not have my texts available on the dash and read to me rather than messing with my phone. Anyway I won't go into the whole thing about safety while you're in your driving and all that. We all know what we should and shouldn't do. Anyways...
    I spoke to a salesman who said that this feature was not compatible with the iPhone, only BBs. Of course this didn't impress me and I found it hard to believe that Honda would restrict themselves like that. Anyway, a few searches on the web later and Honda shows that the iPhone 4, 4S and 5 are compatible for receiving texts through the car, just not sending them. I believe you need a minimum of iOS 5+ for it to work though.
    Once I found this the salesman and I did some testing with our phones. He has a 4S with iOS 6.1.3 and mine is a 4 with iOS 6.1.3. Initially we setup the phone using the Bluetooth config on the Civic's iMID display. It was setup and hands-free calling tested o.k. Next the texting was tested. Both of us have iMessage turned on. Neither of us could get the messages we would send each other (1 of us had our phone setup with the car, the other sent the text and vice versa). The messages were received by the phones, just not the car). When we would go under the Text Message section, it would say "Unsupported Device". I knew that couldn't be as Honda said it was compatible. After more web searches and a phone call to Honda by the salesman, I found the following.
    1) It seems like the person who had their phone paired with the Civic had to disable iMessage to start getting texts. The salesman still had it enabled on his though when he sent me texts (as SMS) and the Civic got them so both people aren't necessarily required to disable it. Now under the Text Message section, it would list the messages received.
    2) I changed the Notifications on my phone for Messages from Banner to Alerts. Once I did this it started to work. The texts were showing up on the car. I had read where another person had tried this successfully but then changed it back to Banner and it continued to work. I experienced the same thing.
    Granted this wasn't extensive testing but I was able to get it to do something closer to what I wanted. I'm not sure why Apple and Honda can't put their heads together to make sending texts work on the car but maybe someday it will work when enough people complain. It's kind of a disappointment that I couldn't get iMessage to work but I haven't given up hope yet. As it's a proprietary protocol, I can see Honda not supporting it though.
    Hope this helps someone out!
    FYI I bought car!

  • Trouble with hotspot feature with Iphone to Ipad

    Should I be able to leave the hotspot turned on on the Iphone 4s? As of right now, I have to power down the Iphone to reset the connection. I am using an Ipad 2. If i use the connection in the morning, then come back 8 hrs later it doesnt work.

    Assuming that you are referring to the photo stream feature of iCloud, then photo stream needs to be turned on in the iCloud settings on both devices (system preferences on the Mac). In addition to this, you need the most recent version of iPhoto, along with the iPhoto photo stream plug-in, all of which should be available via software update, assuming that you already have iPhoto 9 or better.

    You don't. File transfer, by Bluetooth, has never been supported on any iPhone.

  • Can't find eBay Mobile in App Store on iPod Touch! Is it for iPhone only ?

    At iPod Touch 2.0, I tried to search for eBay in App Store. Turns out there only a Paypal. My friend's iPhone 3G's got eBay, wonder why isn't iPod Touch. Means a lot to me a eBay powerseller.

    Solved! Blame Apple Canada! Logon your App Store using a account that's registered with an American address. and iPod Touch will automatically go to the US App store (there's eBay Mobile) instead of the Canadian one(which doesn't provide eBay Mobile).

  • HT1218 What do I need to do to use the Airplay feature with Jango Radio from my iPhone or Mac?

    What do I need to do to use the Airplay feature with Jango Radio from my iPhone or Mac?

    Thanks Community! I solved the problem. In fact it was not a problem but lack of understanding. These guys at Apple are way ahead in thir thinking. I will try to explain as short as I can.
    In Lion, ihe Prefferences/Display show only two choices: 6-7 steps of resolution and some color tab. No two screens, no two display to overlap, nothing for us to do. "That was the problem"! Everything is automatic.
    When I connected the HDMI cable to the Miniport into a T-bolt slot, the TV screen showed the "spiral galaxy" how Zyriab is calling it. In fact he gave me the best clue. That shows the connection is good. But where is the Mac Book image?
    You have to drag it to the right out of the Mac Book display area, and "voila!" it will continue on the TV screen. The same with the mouse pointer, push it out ofthe Mac Book display area and you see it on the TV sreen. Good image, you can keep the max resolution, etc. The sound is still on the Book's speakers. I have to figure that out.
    Thank everybody, especialy Zyriab, ne was the closest.
    High regards to everybody

  • Iphone does not sync more than 3 mobile numbers with outlook

    as title says: iphone does not sync more than 3 mobile numbers with outlook.
    when i have a contact in iphone and i add more mobile numbers than just one, they do not pass through to outlook 2007. i realize this is because there is no room in outlook for more than 2 (if i remember correct) mobile numbers,but is there a workaround?

    I've got the same problem but with a "4 number" limit. Many of my outlook contacts have more than 4 numbers associated with them but the iPhone contacts app only shows/syncs 4 numbers. Any way to increase this limit on the iphone?

  • Can I use the iPhone 6 t-mobile version with straight talk?

    Can I use the iPhone 6 t-mobile version with straight talk?

    All,
    I have read and understand most of the post (s) on this: Apple Support Community:
    It looks like the long way around my elbow approach: (piecing together an iPhone 6+ with a Straight Talk AT&T /T Mobile; Compatible Nano SIM Card) may yet work, just a bit gun shy on the $949.00 cost for the iPhone 6+ from Apple.
    I live in Hawaii on the island of Oahu (north shore), and have  an iPhone 4 8gb cdma iPhone which is on Verizon's network rebranded by TFW / Straight Talk for several years. It works fine but I need an iPhone with more storage.
    I have had a talk / chat with both sides Apple & Straight Talk, neither have real answers to support using the iPhone 6+ with Straight Talk as a carrier.
    On the Apple site: " http://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/ ". It is clear that Straight Talk has certified their LTE network with iPhone 6/6+ to meet basic standards.
    I / we need all of the successful trail braisers on this community to post what works & what does not work.
    What I plan / have to purchase / buy:
    Direct from Apple:
    1. Contract-free iPhone 6 Plus 128GB Space Gray (GSM) T-Mobile. (pending research to ensure it will work). Apple confirms, without the T Mobile nano sim that this iPhone is unlocked.
    Direct from Straight Talk:
    2. AT&T /T Mobile; Compatible Nano SIM Card. (GSM; on its way)
    Would have purchased a Verizon Nano SIM Card from Straight Talk but they do not seem to have one.
    All support, advice & information is greatly appreciated.
    V/R

  • Why does my iPhone 4 not have the panorama feature with the new iOS 6 ?

    Why does my iPhone 4 not have the panorama feature with the new iOS 6 ? Can someone please explain this to me. I was already excited about it.

    That was made available in iOS 5. To update, you may need to connect to iTunes

  • ITunes 9.2.1 New Feature: Sync with iPhone 4 on-the-go?????

    The following was the first of a few new features in iTunes 9.2.1:
    "Sync with iPhone 4 to enjoy your favorite music, movies, TV shows, books and more on-the-go"
    Can someone who owns an iPhone 4 and has updated to iTunes 9.2.1 explain what this feature is?

    Hello, I have the same problem! (iTunes 9.0.1.8 iPhone 3G 3.1.2 (7D11) Windows7 64bit msi EX630 notebook)
    My temporally solution is bit anoying but simple!
    Everything is closed just iTunes is opened. System performance is set to max level.
    So transfer Your music just 1 album at once!
    So if You have 4albums to transfer just make it four times. If you transfer single tracks then make it just 8 or 10 songs at once.
    I don't know why it works but it works for Me...!
    ps: Apple need really fix this! It is annoying!

    Also, Verizon is not a GSM Network and does not use SIM cards from my understanding.
    Your understanding is a bit out of date. Verizon is a CDMA/LTE carrier. All Verizon phones that work on the 4G LTE network, which would exclude all but the most basic of phones, use SIM cards. All Verizon iPhones since the 4S have a SIM slot (though the one on the 4S was only used for global roaming).

  • I have bought an iphone 3gs on ebay it worked with my sim but had last users pics numbers ect, so i restored it butb its failed and now all i get is connect to i tunes but will not restore ????

    Have latest version of iTunes installed and running. Also make sure you have internet access working and can access Apple websites. Also, make sure you don't have any entries in your hosts file referring to gs.apple.com....If your not sure about how to do that, go ahead and do the rest first. You can come back to that later.....Plug in phone. Put phone in DFU mode.(google put iphone in DFU mode for instructions) Then restore the phone in iTunes by highliting your device in the left column and click on the Restore button. The latest iOS version is 4.3.3. That's what iTunes will restore it to. When it's done restoring, iTunes will ask if you want to restore from a backup or setup as a new phone. I would use the Setup as a New Phone option. Once it's done, you should have a clean install of the iOS and an operating phone, as long as there are no hardware issues with it.

  • Desktop ical does not sync with mobile me or iphone

    entries in mobile me calendar sync with desktop and iphone wirelessly
    entries in iphone calendar sync with desktop and mobile me as long as I select entourage in the iphone
    but ical entries on desktop do not sync with iphone or mobile me

    Finally figured it out. Assuming you have the latest software and trouble syncing iphone ical, desktop ical and mobile me ical:
    1.Inputing an entry in either one of the tree does not automatically insure syncing across. You have to remember to tell the device how to share the info:
    -Mobile me entry (you are inputing data in your mobile me account when you are away from your desktop and phone, like using someone else's computer). After you make an ical entry make sure you check "entourage" and the entry will be synced across devices.
    Desktop computer entry. After you enter the data make sure you check the entourage option on the me.com
    -iphone: after you input the data check the entourage on the mobile me. Also uncheck all the .cal.com
    2. This takes care of all the sync problems for ical and I suspect contacts. Don't go to draconian measures like re-installs and all the stuff I read here without first trying this.
    3. Finally, familiarize yourself with the dashboard of iTune when you plug in your phone. There are a few tabs in there like "summary" and "info" that allow you to control data.
    In conclusion, I really wish Apple would have covered this on this site or on various manuals. I feel mobile me is not held to the same high standards that Apple requires and I've been an Apple fanatic and advocate since 1983.

  • Anymore mobile phones with fax modem feature

    In my area, fax is still the preferred mode. Unfortunately, it seems hard find any mobile phones with fax modem built in. I was just wondering if anybody knows any mobile phone with fax modem built inside for sale anymore?
    My Nokia 9500 is old already. The hinge crack badly recently. But I still use it because I need the fax modem feature.

    Fax-handling facilities are now longer standard in any phones, because the demand for this diminished courtesy of e-mail and the mobile internet.
    There have been, however, third party apps that provide certain fax functionality. A quick web search threw up these...

    ...both of which should work on the E90, which is the closest thing to a successor for the 9500 that you'll find.
