Iphone EDGE-need internet help

Hello,
I'm new to the Iphone Community,
I don't have an Iphone YET...anyway
My family and I have the OLD at&t family plan, with 3 lines.We will probably get the newer att family plan, but is it right that you pay $20 a month for another plan, or is that in addition to the $10/month for the existing extra plan?
ALSO:
What's the deal with ATT EDGE? Does the iphone plan come with the edge service? I'm wondering if I can access the internet while driving in a car without a wifi network near? I know it's free to use my wireless network that I have at my home, but what about the EDGE thing without wifi? Please give me more information and whether I have to get it also...
Thank you!

Hi there
I had the same set-up. AT&T Family plan - 3 lines. I added $20 per month to my main number as that's the number associated with my iphone. Net net it wound up being $15 because I had to drop the insurance I was carrying on my razr since iphone is not insurable. Do you have a blackberry now? Or a pda of some sort which receives email? I managed to do a little switching around of things and saved myself a couple dollars - but it's complicated and I won't bore you with details if not necessary. By the way, this guy Shawn at AT&T customer service was so helpful. The most helpful AT&T employee I have ever encountered.

    my apple iphone 3g.unlock iphone,i need you help me how to back normal ios...pls answer me urgent.thank you

    Sorry, but your post is unclear. I don't know what you mean by "back to normal iOS". Do you mean that you jailbroke your iPhone? If that's what you mean and you now wish to remove the jailbreak, you can try putting the iPhone into DFU mode and see if that will let you restore and remove the jailbreak:
    http://osxdaily.com/2010/06/24/iphone-dfu-mode-explained-and-how-to-enter-dfu-mo de-on-your-iphone/
    Some jailbreaks cannot be removed and in some cases will permanently disable your iPhone. If that happens to you, then you will have to buy a new iPhone; Apple will provide no support, warranty or out-of-warranty, for a jailbroken iPhone. You're on your own from here. We can provide no further help with a jailbroken iPhone in these forums.
    If that's not what you mean, please post back and clarify. You may wish to try posting in your native language so that your question is more clear.
    Regards.

    i need some help restore my iphone than you the erro mesaje is (2009) it say    the iphone could not be restored. an unknown error occurred (2009).

    If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore.
    If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore.
    If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above.
    If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software.

  • Iphone replaced need some help!

    Hi all, after getting my phone swapped out twice, the apple guy said he could just give me a new one in the black box. I said yes, i think he swapped the sim card out but i am not sure. I just got home and i notice it wants me to activate it with at&t again! What do i press? If i press replace my existing phone it will reset my contract. I do not want that because i started it 6 months ago and i do not want it to reset. Thanks in advance!

    You must activate a new iPhone with AT&T - with your existing SIM card. This will not start a new two year contract.
    The SIM card is married up to the iPhone's IMEI number which is unique to each phone.

    Thanks.  I have followed all the instructions as recommended and nothing has worked so it looks like the restore/update may have been interrupted - would loss of internet connection do this?
    Yes it would, possibly even brick it.
    Have successfully connected my ipod nano with iTunes so looks like the device driver is working.
    Can I use my ipod nano USB connector to check?
    It is not much help to you, since the device that you need still not recognized.
    Anyway looks like I may have to swallow the loss of data.  Have set-up a call for tomorrow with Apple support so will wait until after this before doing the factory restore!
    Good luck, but if you expect miracle from that call good luck again.

  • Iphone internet help

    hi,
    i have a few questions about the inetenet functions on the iphone.
    i will be buying an iphone 3g in australia on pre-paid. as on pre-paid you have to buy credit so i dont want to be wasting my credit connecting to the internet via edge or 3g.
    using 3g and edge to connect to the internet. is this through the phone company and will your phone company charge you?
    can you disable your iphone from connecting to the internet via 3g and edge?
    can i connect to the internet via my home wireless broardband connection with no cost to my iphone?
    thank you, help is greatly appericated

    using 3g and edge to connect to the internet. is this through the phone company and will your phone company charge you?
    The EDGE and 3G speed is provided by the cell phone provider who sold you the iPhone. They are providing a data service. I am not sure what fees there will be till the Cell provider comes out with plans for the iPhone which may or may not contain a Pre-Paid option in the area you live in. The cell phone provide will announce more details on this when they are ready to release that information.
    In the USA at&t charges us $20 a month for Unlimited Data usage. Keep in mind this is not Unlimited SMS or unlimited voice. Just unlimited internet usage.
    can you disable your iphone from connecting to the internet via 3g and edge?
    On the First Gen iPhone you could disable EDGE by turning Airport mode on. But this would also stop calls from coming into the iPhone and pretty much could be used for iPod Touch basic features. Anything requiring data use would need to turn EDGE back on or use WiFi
    can i connect to the internet via my home wireless broardband connection with no cost to my iphone?
    Yes you should be able to connect to WiFi on the iPhone and not be charged for anything as the data is coming from the WiFi network not the Cell Phone Provider network. But again more details will be provided to you when the cell provider in the area you are in releases this information.
    Based on the information you provided. I think an iPod Touch might better suite you're needs. And that way you can keep the current cell phone you have now without any worries of data charges etc.
    But it is up to you on which one you think will best suite your needs.

  • IPhone 2g mobile internet problem. Please help!

    Hi All,
    I need your help to clarify the situation.
    I am the user of iPHONE 8GB since October 2007.
    Most recently, I found my phone bills have mobile internet access fee which I did not use (I left my iphone at home during my travel from Jan 13 - Feb 5, 2009). I made several phone calls to Fido, Canadian cellular telephone service provider to understand the matter. They gave me different sets of story. Today, their representative said that might be caused by Apple by sending the data to update my iphone.
    Would somebody help me to understand the situation.
    Thanks,

    Maybe someone borrowed your iPhone while you were away. Why'd you leave it behind anyway? I thought the whole idea of having a mobile phone was to take it with you. Can your provider at least tell you where the calls originated from? I mean what sites were visited? If you are not Chinese and your provider can tell you that all the charges relate to visiting sites in Chinese, then that might give you a clue.
    As the proud owner of a new 3G phone for only a week I am pretty much of a virgin when it comes to iPhone problems. Haven't even got my first bill yet.
    In addition I have a wireless network in my home and unless I am actually making a phone call I don't even unlock the SIM. My router is always switched off whenever I am not at the computer so no-one can park their cars out the front and use it.

  • HT1222 I need some help.... I Have the iPhone 4S and downloaded the new software (6.0) and everything seems great so far except when I try to open a link in safari from a different app (messages, Facebook, ext..) it glitches and won't load. Any advice?

    I need some help.... I Have the iPhone 4S and downloaded the new software (6.0) and everything seems great so far except when I try to open a link in safari from a different app (ie..messages, Facebook, ect..) it glitches and won't load. The blue loading bar will just jump back and forth and the page will not load properly if at all....

    It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
    First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
    If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
    As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

  • Do I need Internet to use find my iphone

    I'm trying to use find iPhone , we have three phones on our AT&T account. It's been working fine. Today I blocked data to the teen on our plan and now I can't track her phone. AT&T said I do not need Internet connection to use this feature . I'm not sure what to do. I blocked the data package on her iPhone because she used 3 gigs in 2 weeks. I want to Limit her Internet usage but I also need to be able to track her. Please help! Thanks

    Yes. If the device doesn't have a connection to the Internet, then there is no way for it to report its position.

    Hi there Katherine,
    I have an article here that addresses this error code and can give you a few more troubleshooting suggestions for this issue:
    Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
    Check USB connections
    If there’s an issue with the USB port, cable, dock, or hub, or if the device becomes disconnected during restore, try troubleshooting the USB connection, then troubleshooting your security software.
    Common errors: 13, 14, 1600-1629, 1643-1650, 2000-2009, 4000, 4005, 4013, 4014, 4016, “invalid response”, and being prompted to restore again after a restore completes.
    To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
    Use another USB cable.
    Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
    Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
    Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.
    If you see your error after changing your USB connections, continue to the next section to troubleshoot your hardware.
    Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!

  • ITunes suddenly needs Internet connection to access my iPhone...???

    Plugged my iPhone up to my laptop this evening, now I suddenly can't access any info on my iPhone. It shows up in iTunes but just as "iPhone" instead of "Erica's iPhone" like it used to. When I click on it, I get the error message, "iTunes not connected to Internet." Well duh, I don't HAVE the Internet at home. Why on earth would iTunes suddenly need Internet access when I've been using it jst fine without it?!? I don't see why iTunes should suddenly need Internet access to identify my iPhone.
    Also, I am running Windows 7 and had no problem w/my computer recognizing my iPhone until I installed iTunes. Once iTunes was installed, Windows stopped recognizing the iPhone & I now cannot get my photos onto my laptop. If I manually uninstall iTunes & it's 5 "helper programs", bingo, Windows recognizes the iPhone again. Then, as soon as I reinstall iTunes, it quits. I think iTunes is messing w/the way Windows 7 recognizes/works with the iPhone 3G's drivers. ?? Any advice? :-/
    Thanks in advance,
    Erica

    You should contact iTunes Store support about that.

  • I want to get iBook, Facebook and Skype to my iphone 4.2.1 through my iTune, but I coudn't because it is said that it requires a newer version of iOS. Please I need your help. Thanks

    I want to get iBook, Facebook and Skype to my iphone 4.2.1 through my iTune, but I coudn't because it is said that it requires a newer version of iOS. Please I need your help. Thanks

    If your iPhone can't be updated to a higher iOS version then the only way to get them is if you downloaded versions of them which were compatible with iOS 4.2.1 and you still have copies of those versions somewhere e.g. on your computer or on a backup - only the current version of each app is available in the store, and as apps (and other content) are tied to the account that downloads them, you will need to have older copies that are linked to your id
