Tim Cook convinces AT&T to unlock customer’s iPhone

I dont even have the original sim, that was 5 years ago...

I got a new sim once I got an iphone 3g. My original iphone was replaced due to battery issues 2 years ago and I PAID $100 for it too! I have tried everything to get it to work but it just wont work...

Also, I dont want to jailbreak because it makes the phone less secure. I just want a fair shake. That phone is old and I should be able to use it without the headache. I have several ATT sims from iphones in my family and none of them work. It wants me to sign a 2 year contract... LOL. It also offers unlimited data for $20 (Edge) so I guess thats a loophole if you want unlimited data.

Hey everyone, they should do this for EVERYONE! My iphone 1 is a brick because it says I must activate it.

I made a petition for this almost a year ago, and it has 200 signatures. Lets get some more on there please. Maybe we can get everyones iphone unlocked.

Yes I am very grateful for EVERYTHING they do. I respect all doctors no matter how prejudice they may be but your comments really hit home. Everybody, during the first 6 months of chronic pain is probably treated this way. By DEFINITION, chronic pain is pain that goes on for more than 6 months. This happens to many people and the fact is those people not only have to deal with pain, they have to basically beg for relief. It is unfair and no way to separate addicts from legitimate patients. All I ask is that you treat everyone like your own blood, your own brother and sister. A doctor has the MOST important duty of any profession and should NEVER be prejudice to anyone. And if a person is an addict (which I do not dispute, some will lie to get medication, it happens) then send him to rehab. I used to own a gun and almost committed suicide because of this ordeal! I was 5150d and it was taken away. Prior to cancer, the thought of suicide NEVER crossed my mind. I owned that gun for 8 years without any incident.

As a doctor you worked hard to get where you are and you should ALWAYS remember that the human condition is suffering and pain. It is in your hands to help people, and if you have a preconceived notion about patients then you cannot be the advocate a patient needs. You patients NEED YOU. There are horrible people on this earth but doctors should never be in that category, ever.

Thank you

You are not fit to clean shit. Your judgmental attitude is exactly what is wrong with medicine today. I had an incurable and malignant cancer and was treated as a drug seeker because the MRI did not show anything wrong. I had to beg to stop my groin pain. BEG. I hope for just 24 hours you could feel how I have to every single god damn day so you could see how wrong you are.

I never doctor shopped and exclusively got pills from my healthplan doctors. THE ONLY other time I EVER got narcotic was vicodin ten years prior to the cancer. No history of any kind of abuse yet a cancer patient deserved to be treated that way?

I can only hope there will be less doctors like you who have no inclination of empathy and believe they are so special. Cancer can hit you too one day, then you can sit there and beg to be out of pain and see how FANTASTICALLY fun it really is.

I don't dispute that some addicts have ruined it for chronic pain patients, they will lie and steal and dont have a legitimate medical condition. FINE. AT LEAST try to help them by getting them the treatment they need. But even a goddamn cancer patient has to PROVE himself to doctors to be out of pain. Is that my job? If a patient says they have pain, it is YOUR JOB to find out why and try to fix it. ITS NOT my job to prove anything to you.

You words disgust me beyond belief and I feel so bad for anyone that has the burden of being your patient. I hope, sincerely, that one day you can feel how we feel FOR JUST A GODDAMN HOUR, then RUN YOUR STUPID MOUTH "DOCTOR."

First of all nobody thinks you're crazy. The pure scientific fact is that nobody know what happens when we die. The concept of nothing, in and of itself, is hard to fathom. In nature black holes are the closest to this concept of nothing, but it is still something. When one cannot explain the unexplainable, it is always good to keep an open mind. Cheers

get a bumper or a dock, but not both.

if she drops phones, the bumper is absolutely necessary. Dont get 3rd party cases. Apples cases are superior, have multiple kinds of materials, and provide shock protection (not absolute but much better than a naked iphone)

want something novel? get the jawbone up.

None of my business but you already got her the phone, damn you are nice for getting more stuff! Maybe you should buy a ring? LOL i kid i kid

Have a computer at home, like a mac mini? I have a mac mini server that is always on and iTeleport lets me have full on access to OSX. This eliminates iOS's deficiencies. It cost alot: $25, but I remember I bought it for my iPhone 2G and then when iPad came along, the app became universal so it was free. It really paid for itself. Useful for remote acces and as a remote control.

If you have $100 get a cisco wireless n home monitoring camera. Apple sells them too but they cost more on the applestore. The download iCam and you can have push notifications when something moves in front of the camera. Its $5 but considering it could save you from being robbed, that is NOTHING. Records motion events and is reliable. Can see my house from anywhere in the world!

I recently downloaded Adredaline 6 (racing game) cause it was free, and it is AWESOME, esp considering its FREE! Get it NOW before the price goes back up.

Spyglass is really cool. Its augmented reality and lets you see what direction/how far things you mark are. More of a toy but really shows how cool iphone can be. (my phone always gets hot if i run it for more than 5 minutes -- pushes processor to the max.)

Pro HDR -- this app is a must have. I think its $3 and takes VERY good hdr photos, much better than the camera app. If you take any HDR, get it.

Follow stocks? Get stocktouch. Its a game changer and visually lets you see what is going on in every market segment! $5

Water? game by disney is fun. $1. hours of fun

scany - scan wifi networks nice trace - traceroute for iphone!

garageband is cool if you use that ever/make music.

Slowshutter takes cool pictures but dont get unless you have a 4S. on my iphone 4 the pics are blurry, but not on a 4S.

google earth is awesome and free

viber is cool if you make international phone calls.

Well it depends on HOW you will access. If you have an ipod or ipad, get iTeleport. No monthly fees and it works flawless over wifi, and usable with 3G.

google them for the website to look into it. If you have an ipod touch, iphone, ipad, all of them will work

Question: if you had an account would it work? If not, would using a VPN fix this?

(dont have an android phone so never used their store. On iOS, it doesnt work outside the country unless you vpn into the usa)

Rectangular- rounded coroners-without ornaments -everything apple is naming as alternatives found the 10.1

hiflyer780 · 5 months

Yes worth it. You can use airport utility too which makes it awesome since you get so many options and have immediate access to stats like what's on the network. Even an app on iPhone. Plus the apple routers use superior chipsets. Look it up on amandtech. I would recommend time capsule though since for $100 you'll get 2tb.

Ya now if only there was a pic of it in the auction. No wonder he didn't post an actual pic!
