IPhone 3GS antenna interfering with other phones?

Does anyone know if the iPhone was known to cause "interferences" with other mobile devices? According to an employee at the iPhone provider in Saudi Arabia, Mobily, the iPhone 3G (released in late Feb 2009) antenna was interfering with other phones. They said that Apple didn't fix it with the 3GS so they can't release it.
Did anyone else heard of something similar? Did any other carrier say anything about the iPhone antenna causing interference?
(let me go on a quick rant about the iPhone 3GS release here):
Another employee claimed that Mobily didn't meet expected sales (their own fault, they are hurting the iPhone 3G).
What's really weird is all of the countries listed here

got their iPhone 3GS in August. Only exceptions are: Saudi Arabia (Mobily), UAE (Etisalat) and Jordan (Orange). I am trying the feedback form, but, does anyone have any idea on why are these countries missing?
Thanks

  • Can iphone 4 use facetime with other phone?

    Hi,can iphone 4 use facetime or video call with sony ericsson satio?do need to install any software?

    yes the above said, yahoo messenger came out with the update, which you can do video calling from your iphone 4/ipod touch 4G to a pc/mac. It can be done through wi-fi or 3G
    There is another app called Tango which you can do video chat cross-platformed, meaning, you can make video call with another device that isn't an iphone 4, such as an android phone, they should also have tango, once they download the tango, and if their e-mail is saved in your contact, you will then be able to make video calls. can be done in wi-fi or 3G
    *if you have unlimited 3G data, then I wouldn't worry, but if you have a data cap, then not recommeneded as it can eat up your data pretty fast.

  • My contract with Telcel has expired can I unlock my iphone 3gs to use with other carriers?

    I would like to use my old i-phone 3GS while travelling abroad, is it posible to unlock it from the carrier telcel, the 18 month contract is already expired.

    Yes, that is the official page on Telcel's website with links to PDFs describing the unlocking procedure, and forms required to complete.
    The unlocking procedure includes this reminder: "the 'Official Mexican Standard NOM-184-SCFI-2012' states that cell phones purchased after October 23, 2012—when the rule became effective—must be unlocked for free if you ask." It implies that phones purchased before October 23, 2012 cannot be unlocked.

  • I tried to update the software of my iphone 3gs while charging with my Macbook Pro. While the phone was restarting after installation, in the setting up my phone menu, it stops midway with a message in itunes on the laptop that there is no simcard.

    Then put a SIM in. You cannot activate an iPhone without a compatible Sim.
    If your iPhone was hacked/jailbroken the update restore the lock.

  • The IPhone 4 Blue can communicate with other Phone(no IPhone)

    I want to know if i can use My IPhone 4 Bluetooth with other phones( no IPhone)?

    Yes I did. There is nothing in the peer-to-peer specs that state that both devices have to be iPhones - only that both are running compatible apps using the PAN profile.  In theory, another format version of the app could be designed to do this.

  • I have a 16GB iPhone 3GS. Tried synching my phone through iTunes (11.0.1 I think... on a 2009 Macbook Pro). Now when I connect to iTunes, it says it does not recognise the content on my phone. Is this because my phone (and laptop) are too old?

    I have a 16GB iPhone 3GS. Tried synching my phone through iTunes (11.0.1 I think... on a 2009 Macbook Pro). Now when I connect to iTunes, it says it does not recognise the content on my phone. Is this because my phone (and laptop) are too old?
    Also, when I tried to Restore the settings, an Error Message pops up that says " The iPhone software update server could not be contacted. The requested resource was not found.
    I'm trying to free up space on my phone by removing [literally] thousands of old photos which were originally synched to the phone, because I had forgotten to uncheck the photos button when I synched it ages ago.
    I have also tried synching it on my 24" iMac (running OSX Snow Leopard). But again, when I try restoring the phone through itunes, it says the file is corrupted. It sggests unplugging the device, and then plugging it in again. I have done this numerous times with no success.
    I'm guessing it must be because my phone (and versions of iTunes, and OSX) are all too old.
    Please can anybody help.

    There are multiple reasons that lead to issue. You should read the troubleshooting guide to get the right solution to solve the issue: iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support

  • I want to set up my new iPhone 4s on my mac but my iPhone 3GS is sync with my pc how do I get my stuff of 3gs

    I want to set up my new iPhone 4s on my mac but my iPhone 3GS is sync with my pc how do I get my all my stuff of the 3GS on to the iPhone 4

    You should be able to sync your 3GS to your computer and make a backup.  Then connect your iPhone 4S and restore from a backup.  This should effectively move all your data to your new device.  Report back if you have any problems.
    If you are wanting to move our data from a Windows machine to your Mac, just let us know.

  • I can't print using airprint from my iPhone 4.  Everything with the phone and the printer and router are up to date.  I can print from my iPad 2 with no problems.  What's wrong with the iPhone 4?

    I just wanted to leave a note that it's working now. I'm not sure if it was the latest iTunes update that got it working or that i decided to start a new library instead of using the one i had backed up on Windows 8 (it didn't occur to me to check using the old library when i re-installed iTunes). But if anyone is having this problem, it might be worth trying again with a new installation of iTunes to see if the latest update works for you, and if not, try using a fresh library instead of a backup (by fresh library i mean discard your old library completely and start a new library, not just restore as new iPhone, a whole new library).

    Since you are having an issue with syncing to a different apple id. You may want to make sure you are signing in with the correct apple id.

  • Whenever I connect iPhone 3GS to sync with Mac sync fails to open

    Whenever I connect iPhone 3GS to sync with Mac sync fails to open. Brand new are there any upates I am unaware of?

    "sync" fails to open?  Do you mean, iTunes?
    If you manually open iTunes, does your iPhone show up in the left column?
    If so...
    Click on your iPhone in the left column of iTunes.
    Click on the "Summary" tab in the right colum of iTunes.
    Scroll down to "Options"
    Select "Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected"
    Apply
    My apologies if I misunderstood the question.

    Personal Hotspot is, in fact, the only way to pair your phone & iPad by Bluetooth. File transfer, by Bluetooth, has never been supported on any iPhone.
