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 true

you 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.

The audio inputs on Macs are line level inputs and not mic inputs. You need a mic with a built in preamp (battery powered) or more conveniently a USB mic or bluetooth headset.

How do you get permission for FlexLm/HASP to access the system clock?

I've got animation software that accesses the system clock to verify a security dongle. It works fine under 10.4.3, but I recently got a dual processor G5 with 10.4.5 on it. According to the s/w tech people, the dongle mgmt s/w doesn't have permission to access the system clock because of new security fixes. Anybody have any idea how I can open permissions to the system clock so I can get back to work?
Thanks for any help you can offer...

Moving this discussion to the Using Flash Builder forum.
I believe the software though is working as designed. From previous discussions I have seen the Design view was removed in Flash Builder 4.7. The users in this forum may be able to provide additional information around this.

Is WIFI free on the KIN (Do you get charged for data?)

I have no data plan and I just checked my #DATA information and it states I have used .871MB.
I know this amount costs 1.99$/MB
BUT
I accidentally surfed on the VERIZON Web Access for a website or two before I closed out. From then on I was connected to a WIFI network and I have DATA turned OFF in settings. Is WIFI free to surf or do you incur data fees while using WIFI?
FYI: I just called the Verizon Wireless REP and she had no idea and told me that both cost money. I asked her why I would use WIFI if they both cost the same because Verizon Web Access can be used anywhere where WIFI cannot, and she had no response.

If you using WiFi only (data off) you are NOT incurring data charges. The rep was incorrect (how do they train these people). Browsing a couple of web pages could definitely accounted for the .871MB the system says you have used.

Do you get charged for an sms if you dont open it?

for example i send a lot of text messages to europe, where it's 20 cents a message..so if i send and get a reply, that's 40 cents in one pop
i have an international text messaging plan with 100 texts for 10 bucks but i definitely exceed it by a lot since most of my family and friends live in europe
the good parts about the iphone sms is that you have the preview when it says TEXT MESSAGE RECEIVED..but often, the preview is more than enough to see what the other person is trying to tell me
for example if ask my cousin a yes/no question and he replies YES, i dont need to open that sms, since i see his answer in the preview, so i just delete the message altogether...or if he writes WHERE R U? again, i can see his whole message without having to open his meesage
this comes in handy when i send 500 messages to europe at 20 cents per message expecially when 75% of their replies can be seen in the preview..if i do the math, it adds up
thanks

Yes, the phone has already received it. That's why you can see the first piece of it.
Your desire reminds me of when I was young and long distance was very expensive. So people came up with a couple of work arounds.
For example, if you knew a baby was due, you'd arrange by letter that once it came, you'd call and ring once for a boy, twice for a girl, and then hang up. Trucking companies used the "ring count" method extensively for letting their dispatcher know where they were, etc. Phone companies hated it.
Another common scheme that required a bit of operator cooperation at times, was to call collect with a bogus name. For example, "Hi I'd like to call Klondike 1234 in Houston Texas, collect please. My name is Miss You." Or "My name is Itza Boya" Or just a code name like "Bill Oscar Young" that meant or spelled out ("boy") something.
When the recipient got the collect call, they'd listen to the name for the hidden message, then refuse the call.
Such were the early days.

HT201272 How do you get credit for an app you purchased that did not work. i deleted

i purchased an app... called phone tracker gps. It did not work. it kept locating my phone no matter what phone number i put in.... i would like a refund plz!

If you would of read the last line of the description for that app... it says:
"It's without a doubt the best joke you can play on them with your device! For entertainment purpose only and does not provide true device locator functionality."
It's meant to be a joke. You tell your friend your going to track them (while they are standing right in front of you) you punch in their number, and the app appears to hone in on their position. But of course its only using your location.

How do you get alerts for expired events after iCal starts?

Hello,
If this has been covered please point me to the right direction because I couldn't find it.
When I get into work I wan't to be alerted to any events that have happened between me shutting off my computer the night before and starting up my computer for that day. Currently, if I start iCal after the time the alarm is suppose to go off I will never see that event. Is there an option to show these past events when iCal starts?

I get no menu that comes up when choosing import from device, only a finder level window allowing me to choose where I want to import files from. I did have to unmount, unplug and reinsert the CF card to get the "Import from Mass Storage Device" dialog that is what comes up when a card is inserted after Lightroom is already running and visible.
The problem I am having is that 'Import from Device' is grayed out when the card is already inserted before I start Lightroom. That is why I could not choose it. Otherwise, if I go about it normally, to insert the card after Lightroom is running, the choice for "Import from Device" is not grayed out, but it doesn't matter then really because that menu comes up automatically after I insert the card.

How do you get Instagram for Ipod Touch 3G?

When I go to download Instagram for my Ipod Touch 3G it says IOS 6 is required but I't only allows me to update to IOS 5. Why is that? and is there a way I can download Instagram? Thank you.

If an older version of the Instagram app was compatible with iOS 5, then maybe you can:

Do you get charged for using AT&T's EDGE network ?

Or can you only use WI-FI for free?
Also, I'm trying to use wi-fi at college, but I need some kind of number to give to my teacher so then he can give me a password to unlock it. Any ideas? Thx!

You can use EDGE for internet access anywhere that you have cell phone reception.
You can use WiFi access only when within range of an available WiFi network that you have been granted access to - either a free WiFi network (password protected or not) such as the WiFi network at your school or via a paid WiFi network that you have paid the required fee in order to gain access.
WiFi networks have limited range - many within 150 feet or so of the wireless router which I've found to be somewhat less with the iPhone when compared to accessing the same using a laptop with wireless card but WiFi access provides much faster internet access or data transfer speed.
EDGE access is similar to a fast dial-up connection.

How do you get safari for Mac OS X Version 10.6.8?

I really need help with it

That's not the Safari version number, it's the OS X version number. Safari is at v. 5.x, and you can see exactly what version of it you have by opening it and choosing "About Safari" from the Safari menu. It will be a slightly higher version in Lion than in Snow Leopard.
