Iphone and No Service Plan

I currently have another ATT contract active for the remainder of this year with my BB curve, but I'm really considering getting the new Iphone 3g.....
Can I buy the phone and not have a service contract, but still use - WiFi, Apps (Epocrates, Dynolicious, and other), Ipod function, etc.?
Any plans on a new Iphone coming out at keynote, I haven't been up to date with any new products?
Iphone is 199 (with contract extension? how much without?) and the iTouch is 229, so would it be best to get the iphone or itouch now?

"Can I buy the phone and not have a service contract, but still use - WiFi, Apps (Epocrates, Dynolicious, and other), Ipod function, etc.?"
You can buy one without contract for $699. However the features will not work until activated.
"Any plans on a new Iphone coming out at keynote, I haven't been up to date with any new products?"
There has been no announcement about a new iphone.
"Iphone is 199 (with contract extension? how much without?) and the iTouch is 229, so would it be best to get the iphone or itouch now?"
Iphone is $199 IF you are a new customer or are eligible for upgrade (with a two year contract). If you are not eligible for upgrade it is $399 (with a two year agreement). With no contract it is $699.

Where can I buy a NEW iPhone WITHOUT a service plan?

I have an iTouch now, I'm sell it.
I want to have external speakers for apps and alarms.
I do not want iTouch 2nd generation.
I do not currently need it as a phone, but would like to have it for when I am ready.
Is it possible to purchase the latest iPhone without any phone plan? When I go through the steps to purchase an iPhone from apple.com it doesn't have a "no plan" option.
Do other places online / B&M sell iPhones or only apple.com and apple stores? (I do not want a used or refurbished)
Surely I can still get a hold of an NEW iPhone without a service plan... but where and for how much?

You can't buy a new iPhone in the US without a plan. Even if you could buy one, it would not work (even as an iPod) until activated with a cell phone provider. You would have to buy a used iPhone that had been activated. Be sure to get a US model (or one for your country if you aren't in the US). Check the part numbers in the right column of
<http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1937>
to make sure it is the correct version for your country.
An officially unlocked one from one of the countries that sell them would also be OK, but any repair would have to be done in its original country. It would have to have been activated in some country, also.

How to stop my iphone 4s from forwarding my text messages to other iphone on my service plan

support with my iphone 4s.after the recent update to iOS6, my phone sends my messages to other iphone 4s on my phone service plan and send others 'notes' contents to my phone.what do i need to do to stop this?

There is no "un-sync".
It may have meant to simply uncheck sync movies and sync, thus removing any movies from the iphone.

Verizon iphone with japanese service plan

Is it possible to use an iphone 4s that has been previously activated with Verizon with a Japanese service plan?
I'm thinking about buying an iphone but, I maybe living in Japan in the near future. Considering the cost of the device I would like to be able to utilize it to it's fullest while in Japan. But I certainly won't keep my Verizon account active while over seas. I need to know if i can use the same phone in the US before I leave and when I get there I'll be able to activate it with Japanese provider.

I don't believe you can get around this, legitimately or not. That's one of the biggest faults of using a CDMA carrier.
I imagine the person you spoke to at Verizon didn't know what they were talking about, since it would be physically impossible to bring a CDMA iPhone to their network. Sprint in the only other US CDMA carrier and they won't unlock an iPhone, so Verizon could not set it up on their network. They don't have the legal right to circumvent the lock to Sprint. Likewise, the CDMA side of a 4S purchase unlocked is completely disabled, so they would not be able to activate it on their network anyway.
As for them unlocking the phone, all they can unlock is the SIM slot, which will allow you to use a local GSM network IF there is NOT a CDMA network present. If there is a CDMA network present, it will ALWAYS use CDMA and you will pay Verizon international roaming charges. If you cancel your Verizon account, the phone will be shut down entirely. CDMA and GSM.
Your only real options are buy a phone in Japan with the realization that you will have to sell it when you're ready to come back to the States, or buy an unlocked phone and take it with you to use a local SIM while in Japan and AT&T when at home.

Operating system and extended service plan

In May and June of last year I customized to laptops one for myself and one for my friend, orders number were H0103726246 and H0103402410.
I purchased notebook 2yr extended service plan on both. However I received a letter states that it had expired which upset me I call and was told not
to worry they were sent out to everybody. Than a month later after checking online it stated the same thing, I called again and was told that if I customized
it online that they don't have that that information and not to worry I'm worried after a year they should have that info. I also have a desktop saved in my folder on
your website through my Marriott employee website a little Leary I would like a choice of operating systems because vista sucks and now we are stuck with it
until we purchase a new one, you should have had a choice when purchasing a notebook or desktop

I've been having the same problem since iCloud appeared and complicated an otherwise trouble-free system. Doubling frustrating is that iCloud duplicates my .Mac account so I get two of everything in my Inbox. I turned off iCloud and now mail at least goes out but I can't delete the duplicate account.

IPhone and other service providers? (not at+t)

Does anyone know when iPhone is going to be released to non-AT+T service providers? Why did they sign an exclusive contract with them?
I would get an unlocked iPhone but I heard that you lose all data when updating if not on the AT+T plans. Is this true? I need to have Tmobile for their extensive European coverage, but really, really want an iPhone...

1. Not at least until 2012/13 due to the 5 year exclusivity agreement between Apple & AT&T
2. Because AT&T agreed to Apple's demands for control and revenue sharing. The other three networks were too greedy. Plus Verizon & Sprint have strikes against them because they don't use the world-wide GSM standard. You can't use their phones in Europe, for example.

If you want to use an iPhone in Europe, you can get a reasonable plan from AT&T, or possibly rent/buy an iPhone in Germany where T-Mobile IS the exclusive provider.

Sharing 3G between iPhone and iPad

I currently have a 3GS iPhone and I am planning on buying the iPad in March/April. My question is: Is there or will there be a way to share the 3G networking of the iPhone with the iPad or will I have to keep paying for my data plan on my iPhone and also pay and ADDITIONAL $30 a month for 3G access on the iPad? I guess what I am getting at is, is there a way to create a personal wifi hotspot with the iPhone so that both my devices can use the 3G network, or will I be stuck paying an additional $30 a month for a separate data plan for the iPad? I read a little about MYFI, but it don't sound legit, sounds like you need a jailbroken iPhone, and I don't want to go that route, unless MYFI is legit! Or is there a cable that I can use to share the internet. If I can get away with buying the wifi iPad and share the internet with my iphone, it would save me the $30 a month, and also I would not have to buy the 3G enabled iPad. Any help would be great!

Is there or will there be a way to share the 3G networking of the iPhone with the iPad
No such feature has been announced.
is there a way to create a personal wifi hotspot with the iPhone
No.
I read a little about MYFI, but it don't sound legit, sounds like you need a jailbroken iPhone
Not true. But you'd still need to pay for a separate 3G connection for the MyFi. All it does is provide WiFi to other devices from a 3G signal.
Or is there a cable that I can use to share the internet
No.
If I can get away with buying the wifi iPad and share the internet with my iphone, it would save me the $30 a month
I'm sure a lot of people would want to do that, but no doubt the networks would rather you pay for an additional 3G service, if you need internet connectivity where there is no WiFi.

Copy Ibase Component from Service Contract to Service Plan

HI Experts,
I am creating a Service Contract by maintaining the Ibase Component in the Product list at item level
and I am doing followup transaction service plan and from service plan to service order followup
But the Ibase Component is not getting Copied from service Contract to service plan transaction as well
as from serivce plan to service order transaction.
Pls help me in this regard.
Regards
Pavan.A

Hi Pavan,
You can use copy control BADI to achieve this.
The badi to use is 'CRM_COPY_BADI'. You need to configure the transaction copy control to trigger this badi.
Look at methods REFOBJ, SERVICE_I and SERVICEPLAN_I.
One of this methids should allow you to do this.
Regards,
Surendar

Sorry , but product is iPhone 5S

You can't buy from the Apple store online in the US because it is country specific and you firstly need a US credit card and then a US address and they won't ship outside of the US so you can't.
No Apple online store will ship outside the coutry.
If you want an iPhone, then you'll have to order via the Russian Apple store online if there is one, or you'll have to wait until it is released in your own country or go and buy one in Europe.

I had a replacement iphone 4 sent from apple through the service plan and now need to change carriers, orange dont now have my imei registered on their database and cant process the unlock can i unlock another way without jailbreak?

Hi philhardinges,
You can ask Apple support for the replacement receipt, this receipt would have the old iphone information(including Imei) and the replacement iphone information.
I had a problem like you and they sent me that information, then with the old imei you can unlock your iphone
Another way to take the old iphone imei, you can look for the original iphone box, yep, the one i hope you saved carefully somewhere in your house hahaha. The imei is showed on the bottom of the box down-right corner.
Hope this information can help you.
Best regards

Iphone and at&t - the truth about at&t service for the iphone

i love my iphone.
the only problem has been using at&t in southern california. in los angeles there are major holes in the service, and multiple hour delays on delivery of voicemails and emails. so ive been on the phone with technical and customer support dealing with this for months.
Well, yesterday I was on the at&t support line for about an hour with this nice girl that gave my account a credit and finally told me what's really going on and why at&t service and coverage actually ***** so bad.
here's the scoop straight from their mouths to your eyes:
-when at&t bought cingular they ended up having too many cell towers for monopoly rules, so they had to sell a whole bunch and then lease back the service capacity that their network here needed.
-they've gotten cheap and over the past 9 months have not been leasing the entire network capacity as needed.
-this means dropped calls for you and me, network busy, call failed, no edge connection, and voicemail and email delivery hours or even days late.
-i asked if there was any remedy in the works, and she told me that they have a plan to build more towers but that it was stalled in the bureaucracy. she said the more complaints they got from customers the sooner these towers will be built.
-i asked if they were doing anything for their customers and she told me that they would let people out of their contracts early without a penalty because of these issues!
so, finally i get to the question, how's t-mobile service in southern california? los angeles?
i also want to get a discussion of service going in general. i know network issues are not apple's fault, but they affect the iphone experience and are going to affect the iphone bottom line eventually as more and more customers grow tired of at&t's business antics. apple does have a responsibility to its customers to be working with at&t to resolve service issues so that i can continue to love my iphone (i sleep with it).

adrock00,
Have you been spying on my wife and me?? You are writing, verbatum, our experiences with the iPhone. Same thing - love the iPhone, HATE the AT&T service. It's shameful. I spend a good deal of money a month (paying for two iPhones), and I can not, I swear to you, remember the last time I had a conversation on it without the line being dropped (going through this procedure 3-4 times to complete the call) or completely mangled and incomprehensive for periods of time. Love the 'i' in the iPhone, but hate the "phone" Feel like a fool, really, and stuck. In this land of choices, and quality assurances, shouldn't one be allowed to switch service if the service you signed up for is inadequate. With these contracts, they have you by the cojones and laugh all the way to the bank. Shame.
Fully agree with you, also, that although Apple has provided an exceptional product, that I can not tell enough great things about, it should carry some of the responsibility for forcing us to use the lousy service provided by AT&T.
Just my experience. I'm also in LA, BTW.
Cheers

Is it possible to save videos to my iphone and watch them on my ipad (while on a plane - bluetooth?) without wifi?

I have a business trip to Sydney Australia coming up in a few months (from Vancouver). I'm still new to the whole Apple experience and wondered if there is any way to sync your iPhone and iPad without wifi, allowing me to save movies to my phone yet watch on my iPad, so as to ease the 15+ hour flight? I can only store so many movies on my iPad itself and dont think it will last for the whole flight.
Thanks!

On an airplane you must operate in AirPlane Mode...which means all radios turned off except WiFi on planes that provide WiFi service. AirPlane Mode turns off Bluetooth.
