iphone Thread - Part 2

[frantelle]

Just went to get an iPhone 4 from Forest Hill Chase Telstra, everthings ok, $49 cap ect, existing Telstra customer, go to the system, oh but you current phone is on Pre-Paid, we can't change that to an Post-Paid, would you be ok with a new number? I say no i want to keep my number, tell them that it only got changed to a Pre-Paid a month or 2 ago and that was done in a Telstra/T[life] Store, They go oh well we can't do that, maybe they can at a bigger store (i did the original change at Frankston and they had no issues and they all use the same computer system), do you have time to phone Telstra? I say no and leave.

How come they can easily change from Post-Paid to Pre-Paid but not the reverse?

The original transaction over a month ago was having the phone transfered into my name and then transferred over to Pre-Paid from a $10 Casual Post-Paid that they had to setup to enable the transfer of ownership. They first store had no problems in doing this.

Well thats just a blatant lie. I signed up onto a contract switching from Telstra pre-paid. Sounds to me like someone can't be bothered doing a bit more work.

I did it at JB Hifi if that helps

Mate tried to get a one on a contract at the huge CBD Apple Store here in Sydney. No contacts after 4pm

 

[Ice-Wolf]

Should i just buy the phone online?

 

[giantroo]

How early do you wake up? I only do the 10 alarm thing if I'm waking up really early or to watch sport.

Usually between 4-5am.

 

[sblack]

Oh yeah. Forgot to mention that the 4.1 JB will be released at 9pm EDST tonight. Yey.

 

[WALL-e]

Phone ships on Tuesday....timing the JB to perfection.

Argh! It's been, what, 2 months since the release date and i've still had no success in getting an iPhone 4 through Optus.

Their raincheck/ordering system is absolute shite! Don't get me wrong, I don't mind waiting and realise their level of supply isn't meeting the consumers demand, but when they say outright that they won't be taking any more orders until they've recieved more stock is a joke in itself. Surely they would've recieved stock by now and fulfilled those orders that were placed 2 friggin' months ago!

So, so frustrated, and am just about ready to throw in the towel with Optus. I just want to place an order and get in the queue, as i'm not going to have an opportunity to get my hands on one until they actually allow me to place my order.

I'm currently a pre-paid customer with them, but want to go onto a plan with the iPhone 4, so i'm practically a 'new' customer to them, which gives them more incentive to try and sign me up and yet they would rather turn me away. Strange.

Any ideas around this?

Ouch. Optus called me about 6 weeks ago and upgraded me to an iPhone 4, 6 months before my contract ended, because I have (or more accurately, my mum, whose name my account is still under, has) been a long-term customer. I received the phone 2 weeks later.

Only for phones/ipods with the A4 chip
So only Iphone 4, ipod touch 4, and ipad

There will be another jailbreak released the day after (limera1n by geohot) which jailbreaks 3g devices on 4.0, and acts as a bootrom exploit

 

[lewigie]

L1merain out already, boys.

 

[sblack]

comex is also releasing his JB too, isn't he? Has a non colour related name IIRC.

 

[happy_eagle]

L1merain out already, boys.

It is too
I imagine that the Greenpois0n developers would be pretty pissed off

lol at some of the hate from the developers of the other JB

Please geohot return to your "fail" ps3 scene. Leave us alone

wow, geohot steals our untethered exploit just so he can release first.... talk about #arseh*le

geohot always shows up at the exact right time to cause drama...

We still plan on releasing greenpois0n, but will probably have to just do the mature thing and use egohot's exploit, and save SHAtter.

lolz

 

[Notorious_29]

So which one should I download, or are the all the same?

 

[happy_eagle]

Limera1n is the only one out at the moment, and appears to be a one click jailbreak for both 4g and 3g devices and a bootrom exploit
However its release was sudden and not sure about the levels of testing that went into it

The one released later tonight has been in production for some time, and has been tested to death, but only does 4g devices (iphone 4, ipod touch 4, ipad)

Just upgraded to 4.1, and ran limera1n only for it not to work
Turns out my ipod touch 3g (8gb) is actually a 2g model

 

[red+black]

Anyone have a rechargeable battery pack for their iPhone? Any recommendations?

 

[Notorious_29]
