"... y ou will be charged for each recipient for each message sent."

I received the system message today from Verizon: "Starting on October 14th, 2011 when sending a picture or video message, you will be charged for each reicpient for each message sent." I have $10 / month text plan that permits me 250 text messages.
I assume this system message means that, if I send ONE picture message to TWO recipients, e.g., then my pool of remaining text messages will be deducted by TWO.
I assume that the system message does not mean that, if I send ONE picture message to TWO recipients, e.g., then I will be charged, ABOVE AND BEYOND $10, for both messages, EVEN IF I HAVE TWO OR MORE MESSAGE LEFT IN MY POOL.
Are my two assumptions correct?

I have the same phone and received the same text today right after I added money to my account. I'm hoping your are right because I'm not paying extra just to send pics and videos! I wonder if this only applies to plans w/o the texting bundle. But as soon as the Unleashed plan comes out on Thursday, I'm gonna get a new phone and get that plan!!
Unleashed is a prepaid plan and yes it does have unlimited texting, Internet (Note I did not say data).
The issue, you are limited to particular phones. Feature phones only.

Why is it that Apple have no interest in helping I have a iPhone 4S and since updating to ISO 7.0.4 I have no wifi at all told me it's a hardware issue and I will be charged for the repair sick of it what a scam

Why is it that Apple have no interest in helping I have a iPhone 4S and since updating to ISO 7.0.4 I have no wifi at all told me it's a hardware issue and I will be charged for the repair as it's just over a yr old so I've got a 24 month contract so 12 months with a phone that is not working right I have read loads of other people that have the same problem so how can they put it down to the phone and when asked where to take it was told to google it not happy at all apple u need to sort it out never again am I buying anything for yourselfs again DISTGUSTED would be an understatement

No joy at all they just keep saying it's the phone but was fine before update and @metasolaray why should I pay for extra cover when the fault is not the phone but the update they have put out for everyone to install and I am far from being the only person as there is hundreds of people going through the same with this update and it's not been the first time they messed it up

Apple should take resonsibility for this, otherwise they will lose lots of loyal customers. I have moved away from the ipad due to expense and am now very tempted to do so away from the iphone. Selling a product that prompts an update that breaks the phone is not good.

Have had the same issues with iPhone 4S since the upgrade. No wifi button, battery draining every 8 hours with no use, phone shutting on & off for no reason at all. I gave in and tried the hair dryer method. Turned the phone off and hel d the dryer over the camera lense area for one minute. Turned the phone back on and to my shock, had wifi button back again. That was 2 days ago. Battery is lasting normal amount of time again and I can use wifi again! Hopefully this will last. I know it doesn't work for everyone but it doesn't hurt to try. Much better than spending the $200 at the Apple store, which by the way, the genius said Apple is aware of the problems but there is nothing they can do.

Having the same issue: iOS 7.0.2 with no WiFi / poor Battery stamina and really slow software experience when opening several options at Settings icon.
Apple care agent contacted me and we try all alternatives to isolate and detect if this is regarding a hardware problem. Of course they told me it is. Too sad. My phone is in immaculate condition.
My mother has an Iphone, my father has an Iphone, my 2 sisters have Iphones, my brother, wife and daugther... we all have Iphones. Mine's the only one with this fault (my personal experience: fail prob is 12,5% -1 out of 8).
At this point, I'm evaluating to stop buying apple products for fear that in the future the same will happen with some "premium" product that ultimately they are not.
Too sad, sorry but this is too much.

I got my 4s in August 2012, as an upgrade on my Vodafone contract Following the installation of IOS 7 I also experienced greying out of wifi and bluetooth. I tried various options suggested on forums however none worked. I took my phone to Vodafone who told me it was a problem they were aware of but couldn't do anything about as Apple had to deal with it. I took it to my nearest Apple store (60 miles round trip!) to be told it was not their responsibility, it was Vodafone's - something to do with consumer law! They also said I would have to pay £160 for a replacement phone as it couldn't be repaired. The 'Genius' was very cagey about it being a common problem by the way!! Back to Vodafone who said it was not their responsibility so back to Apple. This time I spoke with a Manager who told me in not so many words that it was an issue and agreed to halve the replacement cost of £160 to £80. By this time I just wanted it sorted to reluctantly paid £80 for a replacment phone. Seeing as this is CLEARLY a design fault, Apple should have replaced it free of charge. This experience just confirms what I am reading in lots of places about the Apple Company. I was going to buy an iPad but have decided not to now. I shall NOT be replacing the iphone when my contract is up. I too will be writing to BBC Watchdog.

You will probably be told that the solution is a replacement phone. Ask to speak to a Manager and insist on getting it at a lower price. I did this and got it at 50% of the usual repacement cost. Still not ideal but at least it saves you a bit of the money you shouldn't have to pay in the first place!

I depend alot on my Iphone and this Wifi greyed out issue is really getting to me!! This caused me to lose some business, but I'm sure I will make up for that in Andriod World. Switching back to andriod should have never switched to apple in the first place.

4s owner in the same boat as everyone else.
I setup a service call with apple on Monday this week and was told it's quite a common hardware failure. When I asked why I should be paying for a new phone I was advised to book an appointment in store. Well I've just returned from my appointment with a "genius" who told me that when the update is installing if any component is weak when installing it will be permanently disabled. Was then told £150 for a new phone which I declined.
I've had iPhones for 4 years now but due to this issue and apple washing their hands of any responsibility it will be my last.
Disappointed that a premium product has such poor backup from the manufacturer. If it was only my phone and not thousands of others I'd have probably paid for a new phone but I'll never give apple another penny again.

How do I know if I will be charged for updating my apps Before updating them?

After downloading apps whether paid or free you receive notifications to update them frequently. However, I don't know how to be able to tell if I will be charged and how much I will be charged for it. It has cost me quite a lot in overdraft fees. Could someone please help me?

Updates for free apps are free. I have never had a situation where I was charged for updating a paid app. I guess if you were to be charged for for updating a paid app what would be the same thing that happens when you download a paid app in the first place. You get a prompt that askes whther you want to pay and download

Out-of-Warranty Service
If you own an iPhone that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will service your iPhone for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below.
iPhone model
Out-of-Warranty Service
iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS,
iPhone 3G, Original iPhone
$199
A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if you arrange service online or by calling Apple Technical Support. All fees are in U.S. dollars and are subject to local tax. When setting up out-of-warranty service, Apple will request credit card pre-authorisation for the maximum service fee listed above. This amount will be deducted from your credit limit. The final service fee we charge will be determined during testing and may be less than the service fee listed above.Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. However, an iPhone that has failed due to contact with liquid may be eligible for out-of-warranty service.Apple reserves the right to determine whether or not your iPhone is eligible for Out-of-Warranty service. iPhones that are repaired or replaced have a 90-day limited hardware warranty or assume the remainder of your standard warranty or AppleCare Protection Plan for iPhone coverage, whichever is longer.

What's with being charged for picture messages?

I got a text saying on October 14 or something like that, that we will be charged for sending/receiving picture messages now. How much is this going to cost? Also, is there going to be some kind of new plan out there that we could get to still send pictures without being charged? What will happen to the $10 messaging bundles then?

On the $10.00 plan you will have picture and text unlimited on verizon to verizon and you have 250 texts for other contracts. The message was saying if you forward three pictures to three different people would be a charge for 3 texts, but no charge if its verizon to verizon but if its from or to a different contract like ATT etc. then it would cost you 1 text for each of those three people to send and 1 for each person that received the picture or text message. Actually nothing had changed as the unlimited part its mainly for people that do not have a text plan. So don't worry about it.

HT3302 How much will be charged for replacing a cracked screen for iPhone 5? How long it will take for repair?

Hi Folks,
I am a visitor and had my iPhone 5 cracked the front screen today, I just want to know how long it will take for repair if I send to Apple USA, and the charge for the replacement of the cracked screen.
Thanks for your advice in advance, I am currently in LA and will put into LA Apple Store asap.

Warranty and support are only valid in the country of origin.
If the device was not purchased in the US, an Apple store in the US will not touch it.

Will Adobe charge for 'bug fixes'

Hello,
I'm not trying to be sarcastic here, but I'm really interested. I know Adobe always charges for any upgrades to their software/apps. I'm not sure what they consider Lightroom 1.0 - that is, if they consider it fully cooked and any changes to it would be considered an 'upgrade' or if bug fix releases will be made, free of charge to customers who have purchased 1.0. To me, it probably was released for a charge a little early, and hopefully I won't have to pay for a more stable app.
Regards,
Kevin

Thanks. Do any insiders have an idea when a bug fix/release may occur? I would hope it would be before the price goes to $300.
I pesonally tried the product first using the trial (not for the full 30 days) and decided to buy it ($199), mainly based on the very good develop module, and I guess the hype and promise of the Adobe literature. I really hope some of its shortcomings in workflow (and I don't mean anything that goes against its basic design) is included in one of these interum releases soon, and is not looked upon by Adobe as an 'upgrade' release for more money.
Regards,
Kevin

I am being told that I will be charged for Iclod storage but I am only using the free storage.

Dear John Bush,
This is a reminder that on 11/25/2013 you will be charged $20.00 for your 10 GB storage plan using your Visa •••• •••• •••• 3150. To change or cancel your storage plan, you can downgrade it from your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, or PC.*

I am not using any extra storage - only the free allocation.

Charges for text messages that cannot be received

Looking at my Xoom usage online today I noticed that there were 5 text messages sent to the phone number of the line my Xoom is using. But, as discussed in other posts here, the Xoom cannot receive or send text messages. I called Verizon to turn off the text messaging feature on this line and the rep told me that the text messaging feature is requried for the Xoom line, and it cannot be turned off or blocked.
So watch your first bill very carefully, you will probably be charged $0.20 for each text message even though you could not receive it.

If you are billed for text messages on the Xoom you can contact us and we will credit the charges.
Thanks
