Will Apple help us with ATT rate hikes? Who do I contact?

Just a few months ago - and at the time I entered into my 2 year contract - unlimited textings was avaialble for less that 5 dollars more. But that is now gone and what has taken its place is just Dick Channey crazy!
Wasnt the whole point of APPLE insisting that phone plans all come with unlimited internet so that this would encourage the owners to fully integrate the iphone in to their daily lives? Does having huge rate increases in texting help that cause ?
MY QUESTION TO APPLE and its user forums - WHO do I contact at apple or at ATT for help on this issue??
Thats what I want in a nutshell. If you want, I can tell ya more.
Harry
iphone, ipod and shuffle owner
MORE is this...........................
I do understand the nature of big business and partnerships etc.
I do understand that Apple would like to not be involved in disputes between ATT and its customers.
I GET THAT. But can Apple help me anyway just for the reason that I WANT TO KEEP MY IPHONE?!?!?
ATT has implemented monsterous rate hikes and LIMITATIONS on package combinations so that iphone users will pay as much or more for Texting than they do for unlimited internet.
We had to live with unlimited internet not including unlimited texting. OK fine, thats how it was when we signed up and you have to take it or leave it. But now with the new changes in rates - here is what the iphone user has as their options.
200 included texts for free
or
$5 - get 200 more - 400 texts total
or
THE NEXT OPTION - $20 MORE, for not unlimited but 1500 texts.
Does having to keep an eye on your text totals or paying at least $85 / month sound like the vision that apple wanted for the iphone users?
if it doesnt, WILL YOU HELP US?

I didnt forget that - its I dont know that statement to be true.
I have been with ATT since Cingular and I've had internet,text and MMS combo packages for some time now; that Includes shopping around for the right phone and plans combo. And I know for a fact that there were MANY combos of unlimited and they were FAR from 50 bucks.
There certainly might be a webpage or two with some ancient pricing plans offered. And I am sure that any one of those would be superceeded by another new price offer on the same plan.
so I didnt forget that; I knew it to be not on point.

    Dear Sir or Madam,
    I am a student in China, I really need your help, my iphone now problems bothers me! HELP ME PLEASE!!!
    As I bought my iPhone 4s(16GB,White) in the USA from Sprint, full price with tax,  unlocked ,it was excepted to be a global phone. But now I come across with some problems in China  using local carrier.Now I am in China, not the normal use of the phone, I rely on odd jobs to earn, very not easy, English is not my mother tongue, maybe there are many grammatical mistakes, I hope you'll forgive me! Mobile phone can not be used normally I am very sad, I can not contact the parents and friends, can not let them worry about me, I've tried all means, including the upgrade to 6.1, but still can not solve the problem, I think maybe I am in China, so can not be used normally, at this moment I am very anxious, because of the time difference, it is later I can send mail, you can see it, please help me, a Chinese student's request!
    I tried all the possible solutions from the Internet, and the Official solution offered by Apple (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4459), but it doesn't seem to work.
    Will Apple help me with this issue? Please do.THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

    We are not Apple, and Apple does not unlock phones. Sprint will unlock phones, but you have to qualify. One of the qualifications is to have been a customer in good standing for a period of time. You can check their website for what that is. After that, they can unlock the GSM side of the phone for International use, that is it. If you are on a CDMA carrier, then it cannot be unlocked. Are you trying to use a local SIM card in China?
    Your only option is to contact Sprint to see if you qualify for an unlock. Only they can unlock it. Sprint is one of the poorest choices to take to another country.

  • Can/Will Apple help me with Activation Lock?

    My mom gave me an iPad Air for my birthday last year. It was store bought from the US (I have the receipt and the box still). 2 nights ago, my iPad wouldnt sync with my Photostream. I tried turning photostream on and off but nothing. So I did a factory reset. Upon tapping on the "Reset All Contents and Settings" I got a notification from my device saying I should turn off my "Find My iPhone" so I did. When it had finished, I tried setting it up again and when I got to the activation page, it wouldnt accept my Apple ID. I checked via iCloud and saw that my device was still linked to my account but I couldnt remove it via "Find My iPhone" because the device wouldnt show up on the page.

    I just went through that only I bought mine off ebay from a third party. I was lucky that the previous owner did not wipe her info. which luckily I made a mental note of a few things before doing the same thing you did, update and restore, wiped it but left it locked. took me a week to finally get the original owner to trust me. I don't blame her, a stranger claiming to have their old ipad with her password still on it wanting her to clear it on icloud wasn't an easy sell. But I got lucky and she cleared it from her icloud for me, pheeww!  Bottom line you will need to... either remember the password or have the original copy of the receipt for the original purchase of the person who's password is in the ipad, other than that, I have 1 word for ya.... Parts!

  • If my screen is cracked but im having other issues, will apple help me?

    I've had a cracked screen for a while but recently my side button wont let me put it on vibrate, my top button doesnt work, and there's a constant light coming from the camera on the back. Will apple help me fix it or do I have to wait for my upgrade?

    Apple's fix will consist of replacing your iPhone with a refurbished one, at a cost to you of about half that of a new model. This assumes they accept yours for that program but I have not heard of any instances in which they refused.

    Will Apple help me install Otterbox Defender on ipad2?

    The OtterBox Screen protector is built into the case. You don't apply it like you apply a ZAGG InvisibleShield screen protector. It is part of the case. On my iPhone, I have a screen protector with an OtterBox Defender Case on it and the touch screen is very responsive and works fine.
    Maybe this will be of some help. There are links to YouTube videos here that show how to place the iPad into the OtterBox Defender case.

  • Will Apple help me get Panther back?

    Hi,
    I recently had to do a complete wipe of my five-year-old dual USB iBook after a leaf count error (no idea what that means, just that the disk utility and fsck couldn't do crud for it). I saved what I could on an external HD and now I'm looking to rebuild my system. The problem: I can't get back to my former OS (10.4). The reason for this is, my 10.4 state of bliss was due to an upgrade DVD that my then-partner used on my computer, running 10.3 at the time. Why did I have 10.3? Well, I sure didn't purchase it! Back in the day, I actually sent my iBook in under AppleCare for the notorious logic board repair/replace a couple years ago and it came back with 10.3 installed, gratis! Very cool...except now I have no disk for it. I DO have the upgrade DVD for Tiger, but that won't work while I'm running Jaguar (10.2).
    Will Apple help me out with this if I, say, take it to a Genius bar? I know I just got lucky with the AppleCare upgrade, but I've been running my life around 10.4 for awhile now and 10.2 feels like the stone-age. Is there any way I can convince them to help me restore it back to its former Tiger self?
    (by the way, my computer is still beeping to itself occassionally...I'm just going to try to ignore that sound).

    HI, Andrea. More or less by accident, Apple has allowed you to use Panther and then Tiger on a trial basis at no charge for some time. Your next step is to buy one of them yourself. You aren't owed another free copy of either.
    If the Tiger DVD your ex-partner used on your machine was an upgrade-only disc, it may have been offered at a deep discount to buyers of new Macs who purchased them with Panther installed, but after Tiger had been released. I got a Panther upgrade installer of the same kind on that basis a couple of years ago, when I bought a new Powerbook with Jaguar installed on it after Panther was introduced. The license for the software on that disc allows it to be installed on one and only one Mac.
    In any event, you need to pony up for a retail installer of the OS you want.

  • Will apple tv work with a hdmi splitter of some kind ? TV only has 2 hdmi ports and both are in use

    will apple tv work with a hdmi splitter of some kind ? TV only has 2 hdmi ports and both are being used .
    If splitter will work any recomendations as to best type to use

    The Hatter,
    I am a novice at Mac so I read all I can.  From what I understand the NEC monitors I bought require Display Port for their maximum performance.  The GTX 680 only has DVI outputs.  Difference from what I understand is larger bandwidth with the DP.
    You said I have the 4000 for CUDA.  I am not all that familiar with CUDA and when I do read about it I do not understand it. 
    A concern I have is, that if I connect the 2 high end NEC monitors via the 5770, using it's 2 Display Ports I would have nothing connected to the 4000.  Is the 4000 doing anything with nothing connected?  I read where in a PC system the 2 cards would interact but in a Mac system they do not.
    Bottom line, as I see it, the 4000 will not be useful at all to me, since I want a dual monitor set-up.
    So far the 5870 seems the best choice, higher band width than the 5770, and it has 2 Display Ports to optimize the NEC monitors.
    I'm not sure how fine I am splitting hairs, nor do I know how important those hairs are.  I am just trying to set up a really fast reliable system that will mainly be used for CS6 and LR4.  Those NEC monitors are supposed to be top notch.

    Like what penguin said......If apple doesnt say it, I wouldnt believe it. I just read an article this morning SPECULATING Siri for the Ipad 2 around holiday time. Its those websites jobs to speculate which attracts readers(like me for example). I highly doubt it though.

  • If my iphone 5 has a problem within the first 30 days will apple replace it with a brand new one or will i get a refurbished model.

    if my iphone 5 has a problem within the first 30 days will apple replace it with a brand new one or will i get a refurbished model??

    If it is replaced under warranty, it will be replaced with a unit from the "replacement stock", which either will be a refurb or new (no way to distinguish these) and the S/N will indicate a replacement unit.
    The "30 day" rule varies from county to country, and applies only to returns, not replacement.
