IPhone 6 with AT&T Contract - Unexpected Charges

I was surprised to find that my new iPhone 6 came with an unexpected feature -- an extra $25/month on my contract. Has anyone else come across this? Now I'm wondering if we were talking to a new employee at Apple or something, because I can't believe what I learned. My husband asked if I could exchange my phone (for which I paid the $199 up-front fee, with no indication my monthly charges would increase) for the same phone with the alternate monthly "installment plan". Note: I now know it's $190 cheaper in the long run to do the installment plan when you add in the AT&T charges. We were told we could only exchange the plans if I would physically turn in my phone, and order a new one! And, we were told, they are out of stock right now! Too bad for me.
Does this sound like a renegade Apple employee? Or is this really Apple's new deal?

When you go on the Next plan, AT&T offers a discount off your monthly bill. If you don't go with the Next plan and opt for the subsidized iPhone purchase option, they charge more. You really need to discuss your options with AT&T. The reality is with subsidized plans (meaning you pay $199/$299/$399 for the phone), you're really paying full price anyway as the cellular service goes up. I did the math and decided to go with the Next plan for our two lines.

You would probably find out the answer buy calling those carriers.

Can I use iPhone 5 no contract version with T mobile contract?

I heard there is an iphone 5 version which is no contract, starting at 649USD.
I am wondering if we can use this iphone with T mobile contract.
Thanks.

Note that you must BE a current AT&T subscriber or a previous one. So unless you were an AT&T customer already, you will have to sign up for service before they will unlock it (don't know if you could use a GO SIM to do that or not)
."Apple won't unlock any iphone but ATT will do"
Apple has never authorized unlocks of carrier unlocked iPhones - never worked that way. You always have to requrest the unlock via the carrier, who then works with Apple to provision the unlock request in the iTunes servers so it gets processed when you restore the phone in iTunes. Carriers authorize unlocks, and Apple processes them through iTunes.
Oh, and also note that you will not get LTE data speeds with T-Mobile using an iPhone 5

HT204023 I've been using my personal hotspot between my iPhone and iPad, but I don't believe I've changed anything with my phone contract, will I be charged on my next bill?

Depends on whether your carrier supports Personal Hotspot & how/if they charge for this feature. Some carriers include Personal Hotspot as part of your data plan, some require it be provisioned on your account. Contact your carrier & see what their requirements are. The fact that you have the Personal Hotspot setting indicates your carrier supports this feature.

Can you buy the iphone with the at&t contract than cancel the contract?

Does anyone know or has anyone tried getting the iphone with AT&T and then canceling the contract? What is ATT charging for iphone if I do this and then cancel my contract? Seems like this is the only way to buy the phone outright without going through e-bay.

AT&T does sell the iPhone without a contract however it is still carrier locked.
3G 8GB - $499
3GS 16GB - $599
3GS 32GB - $699
Also if they have a 3G 16GB still in stock then its $549.
This is all according to AT&T's iPhone FAQ:

New Iphone with existing Contract...?

Hello Everyone,
This is my first post so please forgive me if i posted it in the wrong section. I have the original iphone (2G) which i purchased over two years ago at an apple store in NY. I opened a two year contract online at the time with AT&T. However, my contract expired in February 2010, and I am currently on a month to month with AT&T. Currently i am paying $20.00 for unlimited data. My question is if i purchase the new Iphone 4G will i be forced into opening a new two year contract with their new data plan charges or can i just activate the phone and continue with AT&T on a month to month basis? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

AT&T sells the 3G and 3GS at the full retail sales price or at the no-commitment or no-contract price, which is the most expensive price. The iPhone can be activated on a post-paid month to month basis, but the data plan is required which costs $30/mo and does not include a 200 messaging allowance. The uimited data plan for the original iPhone which includes a 200 messaging allowance (SMS only) and costs $20/mo is a special unlimited data plan rate for the original iPhone only - not offered by AT&T for any other phone in the smart phone category.
AT&T may sell the next generation iPhone or 4th generation iPhone (which probably won't be a 4G network compatible phone) at the full retail sales price which won't require a 2 year contract if you are able and willing to pay the full retail sales price, but the data plan probably won't be optional.
If you buy the iPhone at AT&T's subsidized or discounted price, a two year contract will be required.

Hello. I recently bought an Iphone 5S. I tried to charge it with the original charger that came with the phone and it doesn´t work...The cable is good, I´m charging the phone via my PC. I read many answers posted here but no one helped me. Thanks in

Hello. I have a new Iphone 5S and the charger taht came with the phone doesn´t charge my Iphone. The cable is good because I´m charging the phone via my PC. I tried every recomendation posted here but none helped me...I live in Argentina and we don´t have local support here, I would´ve ask for a new one but it´s not an option here. Does anyone know what can I do? Thanks in advance. Regards.

I live in China as well and my iPhone5s is the model A1530 I bougth outside China. I have the same problem as Nikatnight with the iPhone while the iPad Air (wifi only) is working like a charm. It must be definitely something related to the carrier since I was abroad few days ago and everything worked well.
If you pay attention at the source of your maps, you'll discover they are provided by AutoNavi instead of TomTom and make them appear in chinese with their own border interpretation. Queries are only acceppted in Chinese (p.e. if I type in english "Los Angeles International Airport" it replies it cannot locate it)
I suppose everything will be fine when you'll be out of censorship....
Perhaps iOS Apple Maps are absolutely useless for expatriate in China.
Use Google Maps instead
BTW, I'm surprised how much Apple might prostrate towards hard power Governments.... No matter what, money are always on top!

Is it safe to charge iphone with HTC charger?

I'm in travel now and I haven't access to my charger. is it safe to charge my iphone with HTC or sonyErricson charger. the cable connector is with me.

Hey I have done this in person it works but only if you have a mophine iPhone battery case then you can use the htc charger on the case's mini USB port and it actually charges the case and the iPhone! The case only works for 4&4s devices.
The above is a method I currently use, any other working methods would be nice to know as I also have this question.

If I'm overseas, and I use iMessage not connected to wifi, and I'm messaging someone who has an iPhone as well with ios 7, will get charged SMS/mms fees?

if I'm overseas, and I use iMessage not connected to wifi, and I'm messaging someone who has an iPhone as well with ios 7, will get charged SMS/mms fees?

No, but cellular data will be used at whatever international roaming rate you carrier charges for data in whatever country.
Exchanging iMessages requires the same thing as email - an available internet connection. SMS/MMS is completely separate from iMessage.

Verizon iPhones are GSM unlocked by default, so get a SIM and try it.

Buying an iPhone with a contract

I have an iphone 4 with a talkmobile contract sim. I am unable te send or receive mms. I have spoken to talkmobile customer service, my phone settings are correct. Aplle say that it is a network problem, can anyone help?

I have n iphone 4 with a talkmobile contract sim. I cannot send or receive msm. I have spoken to talkmobile customer service, my phone settings are correct,Aple say it 8is a network problem!! Help!!

talkmobile is not a supported carrier. It's very likely that you have the same problem suffered by people who attempt to use T-Mobile in the U.S. MMS simply will NOT work because the network is not compatible with the iPhone. If you want full functionality, you will have to switch to a supported carrier.

Is there a car charger and fm frequency transmitter for iPhone with IOS6?

is there a car charger and fm frequency transmitter for iPhone with IOS6?

Here is something interesting about car chargers and the iPhone 3G:
From Macworld:
On to the power adapters. Here’s the story: We learned a while back that iPhone 3G doesn’t support charging “via FireWire.” The thing is, there are lots of devices out there that don’t actually have a FireWire port, but are technically FireWire chargers because they’re sending power on the dock-connector pins that were used for power by the FireWire interface. There are a lot of reasons for this, chief among them the fact that the FireWire spec allows as much a 18 volts, while USB is a 5-volt connection. Since cars provide 12 volts of power, many if not most car-chargers used the FireWire method to send power.
However, in the interests of space and simplicity (i.e., not having to engineer for two separate power paths), Apple has dropped support for FireWire charging with the iPhone 3G. This means that many accessories won’t charge an iPhone 3G. Borchers said that Apple gave accessory developers a strong hint that this was going to happen a while ago, but he said that some companies have continued to implement FireWire-based chargers despite the warning.
But there’s some hope in sight: Borchers told me that at least a couple of third parties will be releasing converters that will pass through the dock connection, but convert the power to a USB standard. That adapter may make many of those charging devices come back to life

I have an iPhone 4 that is not holding charge and heating up. I've been told it is a problem with the processor.

I have an iphone 4 that is not holding charge and is heating up excessively. I've been told that the iphone 4 is having problems with the processor and that it will soon die and there is no way to repair it. I got my phone in CR through Kolbi / ICE which guarantees it only for a year. I would like to know what Apple would like me to do. i have not taken it in for rapair or anything in hopes that they will acknowledge that the phone is only a year old and would support it.
Appreciate your help,

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
If the issue persists, take the device to Apple or the Apple Authorized Service Center in the country where the device was originally sold. The warranty is not International.
All iPhones come with a one year warranty when sold as new.

I updated my iphone to ios 6. now i can not charge my phone with any cable. it says charging do not support this accessory. what should i do now? can anyone help please!!!!!!!1

i updated my iphone to ios 6. now i can not charge my phone with any cable. it says charging do not support this accessory. what should i do now? can anyone help please!!!!!!!

I upgraded my iPhone 4 last evening to iOS 6, the upgrade completed and the device was usable. Then in the morning I went to the device to check E-mail, Voice Messages, Test Messages, etc... and the phone was dead. I tried plugging the device into a charger (for a couple of hours) - still dead. Plugged into computer with iTunes, device not recognized or discovered, and iPhone was still dead... Took the iPhone into an Apple Store and the Technician looked it over for any visible signs of defect/malfunction, then performed various tasks to breathe life into the phone - nothing... His suggestion, at this point, was to replace the phone. He speculated that the iOS upgrade possibly corrupted the iPhone's charging firmware, and that this device was now a BRICK. Keep in mind that the phone and it's charging abilities were perfectly fine prior to the iOS Upgrade. I hate to go through the replacement hassle and the cost ($159.00) when the iOS upgrade caused the problem. Any suggestions? Thanks!
