Is it worth getting the iphone 3G if I am outside the 3G zone?

I really want to get the new iphone, but I am just outside the 3G area shown on AT&T's map. Will I still get some sort of internet connection if I am outside the zone?
I intend to go to a store to ask someone in person, but if anyone knows the answer I would greatly appreciate a reply!

I am outside 3G by 6 miles. If you are not in 3G, you get EDGE (2.5G) speeds.
As to whether it is worth it is up to you personally. I like having the GPS and will hope they come 6 miles north to put 3G in my area some point in the next decade. Plus, I went from a 4GB to 16GB iPhone.

The iPhone "My Name here" could not be synced because the iPhone could not be found on the network. that is a pop up box in middle of screen that says that it does it like every time I go to sync the phone after i do app updates. I am getting very frustrated by this can someone please help. I have made 2 other discussion topics about this and no replies on them. Please if anyone can help I ask for help. This has occurred ever since the iOS 5.1 update and the iTunes 10.6.0 and still continues with the iTunes 10.6.1 update just yesterday and perhaps even worse now. PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN. I have looked through my network settings etc and everything looks good here on my side.

  • I have the iPhone 4. and when I updated the software to iOS6 My notifications don't make a sound anymore, the only sound that I get are text messages, or Email. I checked to see if the other apps were muted and they weren't. How do I fix this??

    You cannot update iPhone 4 to IOS 8.1.2, the highest you can update is IOS 7.1.2.
    Unless you've iPhone 4S (looks similar to iPhone 4)

  • Syncing photos via iTunes - getting new error message" "the iphone could not be synced because the connection to iphone was lost"

    I am trying to sync photos in a dedicated file on my desktop with the photo library on my iPhone 4S.  Something I have done many times before. 
    Since upgrading to iTunes 11 I get this message "the iphone could not be synced because the connection to iphone was lost" midway through the sync.  I do not understand this as I am syncing via the USB lead, so how can the connection be lost?
    Bascially I just want to update the photos on my iPhone with new photos I have added to the file I use on my computer.
    Any help or ideas would be gratefully received.  Thanks.

    This may help you

    i have a broken desktop which had my itunes account on it.
    I am trying to get the information onto a new laptop and itunes programme but cannot. I have only managed to copy over some of my music as i had it on an external drive.
    I also cannot get my iphone 5 to be recognized on the new itunes.
    HELP

    iTunes as you see it in the application window uses a series of files and folders contained in the iTunes folder.  Some people make the mistake of only backing up their media in which case all you have is a bunch of media files without the iTunes structure.  In that case you have to build a new library yourself.
    What exactly do you mean "not recognized"?  The phone does not show up on the computer at all, or it does but it says it will wipe the phone?  The wipe the phone stuff is again because it cannot find the original library to which it was synced.  You need to transfer the entire iTunes folder from the old computer or the backup you made of it.

  • The iphone could not be updated because the firmware file is not compatible, can i get back to ios 7 as iphone 5s or itsnot possible!!!

    My iphone 5s and model A1457 and even after i downloaded the IOS 7.1,2 itunes get me error "the iphone could not be updated because the firmware file is not compatible"
    some people saying that u cant get back and other saying yes u can
    i wonder if i still can and how to avoid that error
    IOS 8 Drain battery like **** -.-" & wireless not working well -.-", that's so annoying ...
    (if someone got a solution, i would appreciate it, Thx in advance)

    You may have to arrange to take the product into an authorized
    service agent for the iPhone (or other affected iDevice) to see
    if they can apply the correct firmware update, to help resolve the
    issue of upgrade; or if they have a way to put it as it was prior to
    the attempted upgrade to a later iOS.
    See all worldwide telephone support numbers
    Contact a mobile carrier
    Find an Apple Authorized Service Provider
    Visit an Apple Retail Store
    Pending some release of another update to the iOS, you'd need
    to have someone's hands-on effort to correct the issues your
    product faces now, before another round of upgrade attempt.
    Sorry that I have no exact method to attempt to resolve your issue.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • TS1398 my new ipad works perfectly. the iphone 5, however, cannot connect to the same wifi, can barely get a 3G signal, and the power level is at 53% after being barely used for 1\2 a day. Is this a hardware problem?? My old 3Gs was fine until it died.

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.

  • I have just pre-purchased the Iphone 5 and am concerned about the Nano_SIM. I am with Telstra in Australia. How and where do I get a Nano M and how do I get my pre-paid account  onto the new SIM?

    I have just pre-purchased the Iphone 5 and am concerned about the Nano_SIM. I am with Telstra in Australia. How and where do I get a Nano M and how do I get my pre-paid account  onto the new SIM?

    The nano SIM should come with the phone if you set it up with a carrier.
    If you purchased an unlocked phone, you'll have to contact your carrier to get a nano sim card.

  • HT1296 I am using Google Calendar.  I just bought an Iphone.  I got it to sync.  Everything on my Google calendar did go on my Iphone calendar.  But now I want the Iphone calendar to send and change the Google calendar.  How do I get that to happen????

    This is a question?????????
    I just bought an Iphone 5s.  I did what Google said to sync their calendar to my new Iphone calendar.  Guess what it worked.  But I want the Iphone calendar to send back to the google calendar and it is not doing that. So the question is Is this possible?????  If so how do I do it????

    Yeah, you fried the phone big time.
    Go into iMessage settings and set the Caller ID to your phone number.

  • Does the iPhone 4S support HDMI- OUT via the digital AV adapter?

    Does the 4S support HDMI ->OUT via the digital AV adapter or not?  I read that it does (whether it be mirroring, YouTube video playback, movie playback, etc.) but I'm not having any luck.  I recently tried my AV adapter (that I normally use with my iPad 2) but I get nothing.  When I power cycle the phone after connecting the adapter, I get a error stating that the "accessory is not supported by iPhone".  When I go to play a YouTube video, it shows up on the phone's screen for a second and then disappears.  The LCD TV I am connected to never prompts me for the detection of a new HDMI device being connected" either, do I have no clue what's going on.
    Any ideas? Thought?
    Any help to solving this riddle once and for all would be appreciated.
    Thanks and Happy New Year!!

    P.S. - my 4S is running iOS 5.0.1 and is a Verizon 16gb model.

    The model number on the adaptor is A1388. The link is here:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC953ZM/A?fnode=MTc0MjU4NjE
    I have the iPhone 4s, running 5.0.1 (9A405)
    I have also experimented with sequence, and I see no particular order needed to make it work. Generally I get it all plugged in and then swipe the iPhone and in a few moments, the screen appears in mirroring mode. Then if I go to Videos I can play my clips with sound, or I can do Keynote presentations, etc.
    So sorry to hear you're having trouble. I imagine you've already double-checked that you're seating it solidly in the dock connector and have a good, working HDMI cable. I am not sure what you mean in your original post about "powering up" the phone. It might also be some Verizon issue, though I don't know what that might be. Is your AV adaptor the Apple branded one?

  • Time capsule only allows 2 devices at a time as a router.  If I am using the iphone and macbook pro, it bumps the roku offline.  Any suggestions?

    time capsule only allows 2 devices at a time as a router.  If I am using the iphone and macbook pro, it bumps the roku offline.  Any suggestions?

    At a guess you have cable internet connection.. please confirm exactly what you have.. two public IPs are allowed by some ISP.. once you use up the two IPs, there are no more..
    Make sure the TC is in router mode. And to get it working you probably need to shut off the cable modem.. if it has battery backup remove the battery.. try 5min off .. if not long enough try 20min off. then overnight. The ISP equipment must reset to allow a new MAC address to capture the IP.
    If you cannot work it out.. plug in the old router again.. and set the TC to bridge mode.. which I suspect it is in now.. and plug it into the main router.. it should work fine like that.
