Topic: The iPhone

[LiamG]

For some reason when i turn my wi-fi on, its not picking up the wireless connection in my house, Any ideas what that could be?
It was picking it up fine from when i got it till last night!

[iSmiff]

flick it into airport mode and back out again and see if it picks it up

[LiamG]

Nope!

[gazzalfc]

Nope!

Happened to me too. Just go to settings, general, reset, reset network settings

Will work after that

this

[LiamG]

nope that didnt work either!

iTunes has just popped up with "there is an update for your carrier settings woulod you like to download it now?"

Its ok to yeah?

[Paul]

Log in, request an upgrade code, receive it and use it, select simplicity £20 with unlimited data bolt on, go through check out process, order is pending & within a couple of hours it'll be confirmed.
You then follow the instructions to change your settings that I linked to above.
All done, easy, peasey.

If you get "Simplicity for iPhone" rather than the regular Simplicity, you get free Data & WiFi

600 mins/1200 text for £20

I rang up to get this

We were talking about the online upgrade.

Have you tried forgetting the network and then reset it all up?

[Walshy nMe®]

Make sure you go for the iphone tarrif not the normal tarrif, as I believe the normal one doesnt include free wifi and visual voicemail? 

[TheKid.]

No it doesn't, didn't even know that there was a simplicity for iPhone tariff. May change next month if for some reason I find myself missing visual voicemail and wifi

[iSmiff]

yes, it's just an update list of phone networks, so it knows when it's roaming etc

I know, just wanted to make sure people knew about the phone variant - they seem to be keeping it pretty quiet

You'd think it would be on the website.  Guess there's a cost to them for unlimited wi/fi though, as it's not all their infrastructure.

 I opted for the "easy" option of doing it online, losing wi/fi for 4-5 months until the new phone comes out is not an issue for me, don't think I've used it other than at home anyway.

[TheKid.]

Im pretty sure the free wifi is only for the likes of The Cloud so you can still use it at other places like starbucks? And obviously your own/friends wifis

Yup, it's the "system" of wi/fi spots that O2 has put together, mostly "cloud" locations.

[TheKid.]

Can't think what I'll need wifi speeds when I'm out and about for so it's no biggie I agree

[Raz]

Assuming you've got to wait 9 months to get this upgrade as with the normal ones?

I changed to the normal Simplicity last night, but on reading this thread I have just rung up and changed to the iPhone variant, no hassle. I guess they're getting £20 off you either way, so they don't give a fuck. I like the visual voicemail, so didn't want to sacrifice it.

I think the truth of it is that they don';t want to encourage people onto it, as there will be plenty of dumbassses who will carry on paying £35 a month.

So true!

Sound, I might give them a bell and see what they can do

[TheKid.]

Although despite their website saying customer services is open til 9pm, ringing up tells you they shut at 8!
Idiots

I spoke to someone at 8.30.

[JP-65]

Sure you called the right number?

[LiamG]

Well my Wi-fi still aint working, Even when i put my Tesco Mobile sim back in it still dosent work, it just wont pick up the wireless connection in my house its weird

Something to do with the jailbreak maybe?

[iSmiff]

can you connect other devices to the wifi?

is it a case that you can see networks but not connect or it just doesn't pick up any networks?

[LiamG]

It wasnt picking up anything at all

I reset the settings again though and its working fine now

[iSmiff]

correction

you reset the settings correctly this time

[Paul]

BTOpenzone is included as well - which means it will work at Starbucks

BTOpenzone actually have pretty decent coverage around town - they have access points in quite a few phoneboxes

[LiamG]

is the o2 cloud thing free? i tried getting on the wi-fi in McNasty's but it said i had to sign up to that!

Agreed WiFi on iPhone is pretty good when in major cities.

Anyone know how to close a chat window on the facebook app?

[lfc aussie]

yeh. slide from left to right on the persons name and a delete button will come up. as if you were deleting normally. slide your finger across the persons name.

Sorry mate, am I understanding this right?

I can change my £35 a month contract to the £20 a month simplicity deal (even though I'm still under contract for another 5 or 6 months)?

No, people are talking about when your contract ends, go on Sim only till the new iPhone arrives in summer (or whenever)

[iSmiff]

if you are more than 9 months into your contract you can change it, i think this only applies to the next tariff down from the one you are on though

Once you are 9 months into your contract you can downgrade by one step (ie £40 to £35 for instance, or whateveer the tarrifs are).

You can't move to the Simplicity until your contract us up for renewal.
