Unlocked phone, good or bad

I am awaiting delivery of a T-Mobile iPhone that has been unlocked, will I experience any issues of note if I use my AT&T carrier as planned? And am I to avoid future updates?

soccerdogs89,
The iPhone is sold for use on one carrier in the U.S., Germany and the UK. For exampel AT&T in the U.S.. The iPhone will only work with that carrier, and be supported by Apple. In France, and briefly in Germany, the iPhone is sold at a higher price and can be used on almost any GSM carrier. However, some features that require support from the carrier like Visual Voicemail won't work.
Hope this helps,
Nathan C.

Placing a PDF file in an InDesign Doc and PDF again for a vendor- Good or Bad?

Current debate in the graphics department is
Is it good or bad to place a PDF (general Press Quality) into an InDesign document and then creating a new PDF file with print vendor settings from that document?
My thought is that you in some cases are double compressing, lower dpi images getting compressed, RGB color mode images okay on layout but now are converted to CMYK and shift in the PDF.
Are there other issues and if so what are they.
Also is there an easy way to check ppi, color mode and compression of an acrobat PDF? I mean other than doing a preflight and searching into each image folder twenty levels deep. FlightCheck and Enfocus are not options,
too many vendors and not enough time.
Thank you all in advance for your words of wisdom.

Dov, I just got off the phone with a trusted professional in the Prepress field at a quite reputable print house, and he said "Dov is the guru of PDFs, ask him this...Will the InDesign CS3 preflight see the characteristics of a PDF (color mode, dpi(ppi), compression) if the original placed PDF is created as a pdf .X4 (1.7)? Ask him also if you were to use one form of compression (say lossless) in the original PDF, and then another form(say lossy) in the vendor PDF would it hold both or convert the first PDF compression to the second form?"
Any other responses are also welcomed.

Goods and Bads with the 6110 Navigator

Hi
New user of this forum and a proud owner of a Nokia 6110 Navigator. I had the 6280 but after 2 SW upgrades and still problem with it, I gave up.
First impression of the 6110 is good, but I found a couple of small things that ”irritates” me.
1 – The timer function when you write “0200” and press options instead of green (call) button.
2 – The original headset is too cheap to be an expensive phone like this, should be more like Koss “plug-in-your-ear” kind of headphones, instead of the small “put-close-to-your-ear” thing that is included.
Also, the straight up cable from the top of the phone is no good. Makes the phone lie bad in the pocket. I also guessing that this cable is going to snap after a while. Why not a 90 degree “adapter” or something?
3 – When you sending an SMS, on my 6280 you could choose “last used number” or something like that, now you have to choose name, and then number, and then OK to go back to the SMS.
Well.. that’s it so far. Anyone else have goods and bads about this phone ?
mvh / regards
Timmy

hi im havin same issues!!
i went from 6280 to 6110 after i smashed it
1.first off i didnt kno of the timer option...good bcoz it was annoyin not havin a stopwatch
2. that "recent use list"...lack of it...is annoying. i just made groups of ppl i msg most
3. menu organisation is confusing
4. in call history, it only shows most recent time for that entry, ven if they rang 5 times that day, also they dont show call long eg duration of 3mins 40secs
5. on my 6280, i had a shortcut menu as mi left select button, cant do this now
6. power button is end call button, lotsa accidental turn offs
7. cant turn off start up tone
oh well i still like it

Battery life good or bad, confused

is this good battery life or not? .... my friends tell me its bad
ive been using my phone for 2 hours and 24 min and its at 64%
with 4 hours and 7 min of standby
is this good or bad or is it normal usage?

Well that seems fine then because phone calls do drain the battery faster, along with streaming media off youtube. I think your friends are wrong

Using a power bank good or bad for iphone battery lifespan?

I currently use iphone 5, i see many aid product made now such as power bank,
but a question comes in my mind , is that good or bad for our battery lifespan?

Are you referring to cases with battery packs in them?
If so, most have a switch to turn the battery in the case on or off.
Having the iPhone or any phone in a battery case is neither good or bad. It is merely a way to extend the "life" of the device between charges without the need to physically plug the device in as there is always the extra battery onboard.

I want to buy a factory unlocked phone from US! Will it work well in India without a voltage concertor

Will factory unlocked phone bought from US work in India without any voltage converters?

Yes but you will not get 4G/LTE in India and the warranty is no good in India.

Verizon's supposed voluntary agreement to unlock phones not under contract!

1) I recently read that Verizon had agreed to unlock phones that no longer had a contact attached to them, but when I called the representative said no, only phones to be used for international travel can be unlocked, not for going to another carrier. If they have agreed to unlock phones no longer in contract, there should be no stipulations about how that phone is used. Anyone know the agency to whom such questions should be queried?
2) How does a single line plan work with several lines? It would seem to me that if 3 people on the same line would have no way of knowing what call is for them they would answer every ring. How would several people use a single line. Perhaps it's just me, but such a plan seems ludicrous. Can anyone explain how such a plan works for more than 1 person??????

I can only go by what the Verizon agent told me about the single line plan, which did not make sense, which is why I asked the question on this forum. She explained, as a response to my asking about a family plan, the single line that could be used by several people. My question to her was, the same as my question on this forum....how would one know who a call was for, and why would anyone consider several people using phones on a single line????????????
I wanted my LG basic cell phone unlocked for my neice to use, because adding another line on Verizon was more expensive on than any other carrier. It would be more economical for her to get her own service, but she does not want to be locked into a contract. I have 2 perfectly good phones so why should I have to buy another?
I would leave Verizon now were it not for the contract. I was told by the agent I could go to a cell phone repair store and get it unlocked but Verizon would not do it. After speaking with someone at a cell phone repair store, he told me if I had an international phone, it did not need unlocking, it was already unlocked. One of the out of contract phones I have is an international phone.

Hello. I've just bought a new iPhone 6 in miami apple store as a unlocked phone. But now it shows the message that my phone is locked and I can't use my russian sim card. What I need to do to unlock it?

. I've just bought a new iPhone 6 in miami apple store as a unlocked phone. But now it shows the message that my phone is locked and I can't use my russian sim card. What I need to do to unlock it?

The device is locked to Verizon wireless not a Russian cell provider.
You can use Verizon here in the states. Get a Verizon Sim.
In out of the country use, pop in that Sim and it should work. However Verizon does not unlock for use in the USA.
And you must be a Verizon customer to get it unlocked to use in other countries. Apple claims it will work in other countries.
Good Luck

Will an iphone 4 that was originally purchased from apple directly as a factory unlocked phone remain unlocked or will it have now locked to the network it was used on. I've been told by carphone warehouse that the iphone will lock to first sim used in it

Will an iphone 4 that was originally purchased from apple directly as a factory unlocked phone remain unlocked or will it have now locked to the network it was used on. I've been told by carphone warehouse that the iphone will lock to first sim used in it (in this case Orange) and will need to be unlocked again. Just wanted the view of anybody who knows about this for sure. Thanks

If you bought it directly from Apple as unlocked it should be unlocked for all networks. There are phones sold that WILL lock to the first carrier it is used with, but this does not apply to phones where the receipt says "unlocked".
I have not had good experiences with Carphone Warehouse.

Hi I bought a factory unlocked phone from Dubai but I'm using it in india. But it still doesn't have FaceTime option in settings . is there a way to get FaceTime on my phone without jail breaking .. Pla help guys

Bought my iPhone 4 from Dubai even though it's a factory unlocked phone I don't have a FaceTime button in setting so I'm wondering is there anyway I can get the FaceTime with out jail breaking my device it's working on iOS 4.3.5 , I read so much about getting it after u jailbreak Ur phone u get FaceTime but can I get it with out jail breaking my device as I'm using it in india please reply guys

iPhones purchased in the UAE do not have FaceTime installed and FaceTime will not appear regardless of where the phone is taken.
Jailbreaking will void your warranty with Apple, may permanently render your phone unusuable, and will eliminate the possibility of getting help from Apple or its forums including this one.
If you want FaceTime on an iPhone, sell that phone and purchase one from one of the authorized iPhone dealers in India.

I have an iphone 5 that was originally with verizon but has been unlocked now by them and the phone is still under the apple warranty, if I go to replace for power button malfunctioning, will they give replace it with an unlocked phone as well?

I currently have an iphone 5 that was verizon locked but has been unlocked by them because of my contract, the phone is still under the apple warranty but the power button is not working, if it was the case that apple has to replace it with another phone, will they replace with an unlocked phone now?
thanks

The SIM Lock is stored on the Apple Activation Server - if it has been correctly unlocked by a network then this would have been done on the Activation Server.
When you get your replacement handset through Apple they mirror the activation server details of your existing handset and the current SIM LOCK status is mirror'd onto the new device.
(100% Accurate - done mine 2 weeks before christmas due to original 5 sleep button stopped working)

HT2105 When you get a apple receipt for itunes songs and you paid with a itunes gift card do they charge you or give you store credit what's store credit is it good or bad or does it charge you if you have a free account with no credit cards at all is it

When you get a apple receipt for itunes songs and you paid with a itunes gift card do they charge you or give you store credit what's store credit is it good or bad or does it charge you if you have a free account with no credit cards at all is it bad?

iTunes credits are, for example, if you download a song from the store and it's found to be corrupt - if the track can't be fixed then iTunes support will tend to give you a song credit for a free download.
When you purchase music from the store then any credits that you have will be used first, then any balance that you have (e.g. from iTunes gift cards or allowances), and any remaining amount will be taken from your credit card.

I put a Tesco sim (02 carrier) in 2 unlocked phones, Both phones are now locked to 02, 02 blame apple, I connect the iphone to itunes and it states that the new carrier (orange) is not supported

I put a Tesco sim (02 carrier) in 2 unlocked phones, Both phones are now locked to 02, 02 blame apple, I connect the iphone to itunes and it states that the new carrier (orange) is not supported, Isk this of both 02 and apple, who's phone is this and what right do you have to lock a previously unlocked phone? very angry

Where did you get these phones?
These and other forums are full of people with iPhone unlocking problems - the net result is that, as others have said, is:
If you bought them from Apple they will be (and stay) unlocked.
If you bought them PAYG from CPW then they will lock to the first SIM activated.
Any other contract or PAYG phone iPhone bought from the networks WILL be locked by them too.
However, all is not lost. The original purchaser can request for the phones to be unlocked by Apple, via the carrier. The carriers usually charge around £20 to do this, or gratis if you're out of contract.
You are the original purchaser, right? If not, you need to get in touch with that person and pray they'll help you out.
