E-Mail Steve Jobs

[Grod13]

Well I just had my iPhone stolen. So I did some research and found out that At&t and Apple are not going to do anything to help me, which is no surprise to me. So I found this e-mail sjobs@apple.com which supposedly belongs to Steve jobs and I e-mailed "him" my situation. Now, I am awaiting any kind of response which I will then post here to see if this is really Steve's e-mail or not and if it is, whether or not he helps me.

[sergiuria]

What could AT&T or Apple do about it?

[Hudzilla]

Dude what do you expect them to do for you? If they replaced everyoned lost/stolen/damaged phones they would be out of business.

Unless you have insurance, your SOL.

[Dr. Cabrera]

wow what a selfish a-hole

he took a medical leave off absence, have some respect

http://www.usatoday.com/tech/news/2009-01-14-steve-jobs_N.htm

[4nr-]

I tried my luck with that email about a week ago and I havent got a response yet. Maybe its because hes taken a leave, but I was under the impression that those emails were handled by high positioned costumer service people. I don't think they'll bother responding to you though, and if they do it will probably be something like "we're very sorry about that and thanks for using our products".

[jmmo20]

what problem do you have?

[mcnicks]

Maybe you should contact the local police? If your television gets stolen do you phone Sony?

[Gix1k]

What do you expect Apple or AT&T to do for you because your phone was stolen.....seriously. Did someone from either company take it? No, well.........

[synagence]

Kinda gets annoying all these people thinking that just cos you can email the CEO of a company they are oblidged to make your situation better...

Report to the police, claim on insurance .... if you don't have insurance then sorry but thats what insurance is for.

[MikePA]

The OP is a troll. Ignore it.

[Winni]

Well, AT&T could block the stolen iPhone from their network and/or triangulate its position, so that the local police knows where to look for it. You know, they do that all the time in their hunt for "terrorists". THAT'S how they could help.

[gianpan]

Maybe you should contact the local police? If your television gets stolen do you phone Sony?

WOW, how do you know what TV brand he has? Can you guess mine too:p


*I've got a sony too :o

[Grod13]

Im gonna be stuck with At&t for 2 years because of this phone and they aren't even gonna help me even a little bit well I think I have every right to e-mail Steve. Even though im pretty sure it's not a real e-mail...I just did it for the heck of it, and posted it here. Not only am I stuck with At&t for 2 years but I can even get rid of the $30 data plan that comes with the iPhone. Now I have to pay $30 extra each month for 2 years, thats $720 that I am giving them for free! I think that is enough money for them to give me at least 1 replacement iphone.

Even if that were the case, the money you're giving them over the course of your contract is actually paying for your subsidized phone. So no, you're not giving them money "for free".

But it's not the case, as you can drop your data plan any time you want, even if you DON'T lose your phone.

wow, just wow.
why don't you come to Europe and buy a 700/800$ iPhone with no contract, wise guy?
would you call the Pope if you lost your Bible?
Seriously,dude, it is your fault for having your phone stolen or lost, or whatever, if you live in an unsafe neighborhood maybe the damn phone isn't for you, huh? use the ones on the street, no contract with those.

[Grod13]

Well I called At&t and they won't let me drop the data plan. Thats the only reason that I say that I HAVE TO pay them.

[rdowns]

Where do people get this ridiculous sense of entitlement from? I had an Acura stolen 8 years ago and friggin' Acura wouldn't do shite for me. :rolleyes:

For the life of me, I can't begin to fathom why you thing Apple or ATT should do anything for you.

[Gix1k]

This thread is going no where, fast! More reason I need to hurry and call Statefarm to setup my inland marine for my iPhones.

[lostprophet894]

Well I called At&t and they won't let me drop the data plan. Thats the only reason that I say that I HAVE TO pay them.

Call them again. Or go to your account online and drop it there. If you're not using the iPhone, you don't have to pay for the data.

[lostprophet894]

This thread is going no where, fast!

Explain? The OP is confused. We're clearing things up for him. That's what this place is for, no?

[bbplayer5]

What an idiot. You aint getting your phone back but you can get AT&T to block the phone.

[Grod13]

Explain? The OP is confused. We're clearing things up for him. That's what this place is for, no?

Thank you. I have called at&t 4 times now and I have gone to my account on-line and every time they tell me that i cannot remove the data plan until the contract life of my iphone has ended.

[jessica.]

Thank you. I have called at&t 4 times now and I have gone to my account on-line and every time they tell me that i cannot remove the data plan until the contract life of my iphone has ended.

You'll be the first person in history who has been unable to drop the data plan. My guess is you're as irate on the phone as you appear here and no rep is going to do anything for you in that state.

BTW, emailing Steve Jobs will get you no where since he's on leave of absence. Some people around here expect you to know that, I would say that not knowing that simply means you don't plant your ass around the news enough to really know and that is sad but forgivable.

[lostprophet894]

Thank you. I have called at&t 4 times now and I have gone to my account on-line and every time they tell me that i cannot remove the data plan until the contract life of my iphone has ended.

Interesting. Maybe because it's subsidized whereas the first one wasn't? I can't say for sure.

I just can't imagine them not dropping it if you told them you were going to be using a non-data capable phone.

[Grod13]

Jezzz people need to calm down. The only reason I even mentioned anything about what was going on with at&t was because people asked. I just wanted people to know that I e-mailed steve jobs, thats all.

[Eso]

I will then post here to see if this is really Steve's e-mail or not and if it is, whether or not he helps me.

It's pretty obvious that Steve's "medical leave of absence" is really just a cover for his super-hero alter-ego. I imagine he will be flying into your bedroom within the next couple of nights and depositing a brand new iPhone underneath your pillow while you sleep. Until then, rest easy knowing Steve is watching from above.

Lol, I knew I could count on Steve.

You paid for the car upfront or a lease? Either way you will recover the money from the insurance. Also, you would not be stuck paying for two years worth of service that you will not use. At the very least, they should allow him to downgrade his plan to a suit crappier phone. At the best case, they should sell him another one for the original price. (They make crazy money off Data plans and would help towards improving their image of douchebag-eness)

wow, just wow.
if you live in an unsafe neighborhood maybe the damn phone isn't for you, huh? use the ones on the street, no contract with those.2

Please tell me how that isn't racist or elitism? Should someone be required to move in order to get an iPhone? Do you want Apple/ATT to check the street address to ensure you are privileged enough? How about just people with a trust fund with over $100K in it?

What could AT&T or Apple do about it?

ATT can do amazing things with a headset on their network. For example, noting the numbers called... pinging the towers/GPS... turning on the mic... Websites visited. (Unique URLs for Social Networking logins) If the owner of a headset wishes to know these things, why should ATT not help? He is paying $80+/month for their service.

[iParis]

Hate to say it but they're not going to do anything for you.

wow what a selfish ******

he took a medical leave off absence

http://www.usatoday.com/tech/news/2009-01-14-steve-jobs_N.htm

Wrong thread for that.
And it's old news.
So he's selfish for putting his health before a company that will do fine for six months without him?

Dude you need to learn to read. The OP said what he said and the guy was calling the OP a selfish SOB. Dr. Cabrea wasn't tainting the vision of your messiah. Don't worry.

"Please tell me how that isn't racist"

Well... he didn't mention race... How could it therefore be in any way racist?

[fleshman03]

"Please tell me how that isn't racist"

Well... he didn't mention race... How could it therefore be in any way racist?

In America, low-income, high-risk neighborhoods are often synonymous with Black.

When you hear there is a scholarship for low-income inner city kids, it's often meant to mean Black children. I'm not saying that this defines Black people or their culture. All I'm saying is that in America when you hear those words, that is what comes to mind.

I already knew that they couldn't do anything and/or wouldn't.
Just wanted to see if that was Steve Jobs e-mail or not.

[Tallest Skil]

But it's not the case, as you can drop your data plan any time you want, even if you DON'T lose your phone.

Not if it's a 3G.

You'll be the first person in history who has been unable to drop the data plan.

Not if it's a 3G.

If they won't give you a new phone, and they have no reason to, just cancel your service entirely.

[alphaod]

OP, I'll break it down for you:
1) Apple can't help because you lost your phone; it didn't break or get dropped; you lost it.
2) AT&T can't help you because you lost you phone and they don't offer insurance for the iPhone.
3) Steve Jobs will just think your a "less-than-intelligent" consumer.

So the deal is you have a few options:
1) Get a different phone and put the SIM card in.
2) Buy a replacement iPhone 3G from Apple/AT&T for the unsubsidized price.
3) Cancel your account and pay ETF.
OR
4) If possible: Try to recover your phone—but remember Apple, AT&T, Jobs, we cannot help you with this. You will need to contact the police, attorney, etc. for this.

And yes that is Steve Jobs email.


ATT can do amazing things with a headset on their network. For example, noting the numbers called... pinging the towers/GPS... turning on the mic... Websites visited. (Unique URLs for Social Networking logins) If the owner of a headset wishes to know these things, why should ATT not help? He is paying $80+/month for their service.

Because all that costs them more than $80/month over the 2 years. AT&T has no obligations to provide those services because the OP lost the phone. Also pinging, tracking websites, is a violation of privacy, no matter who it is. FCC would fine the hell out of AT&T for those things.

often for you, that is. My comment had nothing to do, IMO, with race or countries or anything. I think you haven't read all of OP's posts in this thread, he really wants Apple or AT&T to give him the phone back since he pays for a contract and he got it stolen? He even e-mails "Steve Jobs", which I suppose corresponds to a team of technicians, since I believe most responses have to do with technical issues, but I could be wrong. I did receive calls back regarding that sort of issues. Anyway, I believe your "understanding" my comment makes you a bit racist or sensitive. All I'm saying is the OP has to pay for another phone and not someone else. He should get his money back from the thief or Insurance company etc. I see him as responsible as the ones asking for a replacement after dropping the phone in the toilet.

[alphaod]

I already knew that they couldn't do anything and/or wouldn't.
Just wanted to see if that was Steve Jobs e-mail or not.

So you're posting this to annoy everyone? :rolleyes:

[DePew24]

Hey fleshman03,

Your post about being racist...Wow, you're really swinging for the fences on this one. I believe YOU are the one that assumed that he was speaking of an African America community. In no way does being poor relate to ANY race. People like you are the ones saying that we need to just stop being racist and when other people don't even bring it up because they are not racist.

[fleshman03]

How much does it really cost to look at the computer and view the list of received/sent text messages? They store all that data, it's just a matter of looking at it and telling the person who owns the phone and pays the service bill the data. I don't quite see where privacy is an issue. The OP owns the phone and is paying for the service. In this case, he is neither spying on his/her wife, kids or someone else. He us utilizing the equipment to aid him in the recovery of his property. Much the way onstar works.

My comment wasn't about the phone and payment for it. It was about living in high-risk areas. That shouldn't matter what type of tech you own/use.

Now the phone. ATT is not required to do a damn thing. However, it would go a way to improving their evil image. To me and many many like me, they are seen as a huge, money sucking company.

Exhibit A (http://voices.washingtonpost.com/posttech/2008/09/lawmaker_consumer_group_demand.html)

then I apologize to everybody, since if you read my post carefully I guess it makes me sexist as well, huh? why don't you look for some other statistics that, IMO, have nothing to do with what I wrote? It could be a lot of fun for you.

The OP can't be serious.
He just wants to elicit reactions.
And he succeeded.

EDIT:
BTW, my bike got stolen. I rang up Lance Armstrong, and he was very sympathetic. He lent me his.

Yes, I imagine that this will be the response for the OP.

[ucfgrad93]

Well, if at&t won't allow you to drop the data plan, then you have 2 options as I see it.

1. Bite the bullet and buy a new iPhone at the unsubsidized price.

2. Cancel your contract and pay the ETF.

Sorry for your loss, and good luck.

Seriously,dude, it is your fault for having your phone stolen or lost, or whatever, if you live in an unsafe neighborhood maybe the damn phone isn't for you, huh? use the ones on the street, no contract with those.

Few Notes:

You say "wow, just wow" a lot.

You say, "it is your fault of having your phone stolen or lost, or whatever..." If someone gets mugged, is it his/her fault for having it stolen? This is where I start to take issue with your statements.

You also say, "if you live in an unsafe neighborhood maybe the damn phone isn't for you, huh? use the ones on the street, no contract with those." Now I asked this before, but I guess you didn't read my post. Should Apple/ATT check your street address to see if you live in a high-crime area? Do you wish them to approve or deny based on a home security system? How about only allowing people with trust funds with over 100K in them?

You don't like capital letters, do you? That's a shame since really makes written English readable and makes you look respectable.

You say, "since if you read my post carefully I guess it makes me sexist as well, huh." Do you think I read it carefully? It doesn't make you look sexist, but elitist and possibly racist. (Not saying that you are, just the comments.)

You say, "why don't you look for some other statistics that, IMO, have nothing to do with what I wrote?" Here's some more stats (http://www.prisonpolicy.org/graphs/burglaries.html)for you that prove the ones I gave you before are related. It's not really fun for me, but I wanted to bring these issues to light for you. Maybe next time you will choose your wording a bit more carefully and not be harsh or blame people for where they live. Maybe... just maybe.

Sorry, I don't like capital letters, I find the lack of capital letters in my posts makes my words less important and more suitable to a forum, I do use them in other areas/contexts. I do not think AT&T should check where people live before handling their iPhones since it shouldn't be guaranteed they wouldn't get them stolen and AT&T shouldn't really pay for your losses. My requesting other statistics was really sarcastic, sorry if you didn't get the message, I didn't really check the first links since I still am convinced stealing and having something stolen has nothing to do with race. I'm sorry if you think differently. I'd like to point out I've been through "riskier" places in my life and I've never felt the need to show off my goods, I've actually always thought I should hide my white headphones and such, since I've been "talked to" even doing so.

Ok, you found stats. I can use stats to say that 100% of the population that was poor in my community growing up was not black. Good for you. Just because a percentage says something it does not mean that everyone, or even most, assumes this. JUST YOU. If anyone is being racist it's you by assuming that he/she was speaking about an entire race. Just a stupid comment on your part.

It's alright with the capital letters. I just wanted to point that out. I also got the sarcasm. I wanted to back up what I was saying further.


I don't think having something stolen has anything to do with race. But what you were saying about high-risk areas does. It's ok if you don't agree. I feel you should know that this is one way those remarks can be taken.

You can take precautions while going through high-risk areas, but ultimately it is an outside act by someone else that puts you in danger. That takes it out of your control. This argument is along the lines of saying a girl was raped because of how she was dressed. (lol. Sexism? :rolleyes: I'm not saying you are sexist or anything like that.)

Can we agree that there are things beyond a person's control and that ATT could do something along the lines of "good faith," but likely won't. Also having something stolen is not a person's fault. (Unless he/she leaves it out in the open with no supervision.)

There is a huge difference between the anecdotal "statistics" you referenced and my mention of peer reviewed studies.

And should we not bother with statistics? Perhaps we should all some medicine because it makes some vocal people feel better?

I suggest you take a read at this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalizability_theory).

[DePew24]

Ok, then maybe I am a minority (by this i mean less than half, not a racial slur) because when I think of poor, I think of someone who has fallen on hard times (regardless of ethnic background or gender). Maybe you should stop trying to for people to think a certain way or assuming that everyone thinks like that. I know a lot of people that live in neighborhoods with crime (theft included) and it is a 100% caucasian. Living in a bad neighborhood doesn't mean anything when speaking about ethnic background.

Nice THEORY you linked...it's a theory.

[Masquerade]

I'm not saying that this defines Black people or their culture. All I'm saying is that in America when you hear those words, that is what comes to mind.

How can AT&T not let you drop the data plan. Tell them you dont have the phone anymore, and you got a different phone, you can cancel a texting plan at anytime.

You were the one that threw out there that is was that kind of comment. So you're the one that thinks that way.

Yeah. Sure. Why not.

In America, low-income, high-risk neighborhoods are often synonymous with Black.

When you hear there is a scholarship for low-income inner city kids, it's often meant to mean Black children. I'm not saying that this defines Black people or their culture. All I'm saying is that in America when you hear those words, that is what comes to mind.

Wow...that's perhaps the most far fetched connection between the original comment to where you are heading.

Way to hijack the thread. I think you deserve to be in timeout for a while.

And I agree this thread should be closed. There's nothing political about this, other than the utterly ignorant reference to race.

I just posted this to see if anybody would think it was funny (that I was actually trying to email steve jobs), like I did. Apparently not, I never wanted these huge arguments about absolutely nothing. Sorry that I made the post in the first place MacRumors Forums.:(

Hey, don't take it the wrong way. :o

This is what happens to every thread about the xMac, Hackintoshes, software piracy, the iPhone nano (won't happen), and almost any thread on product updates.

Don't be sorry. You should be free to post anything related to Apple here. I got angry at a comment and took it a bit too far. (Although I still stand by my points.) It has nothing to do with your post. You'll find a lot of us are really great people here. We just have arguments sometimes.

Well I just had my iPhone stolen. So I did some research and found out that At&t and Apple are not going to do anything to help me, which is no surprise to me. So I found this e-mail sjobs@apple.com which supposedly belongs to Steve jobs and I e-mailed "him" my situation. Now, I am awaiting any kind of response which I will then post here to see if this is really Steve's e-mail or not and if it is, whether or not he helps me.

Your an idiot, Plain and simple- Just take care of your electronics and maybe keep them in your pockets?
:rolleyes:

[pilotkid]

I think Steve has enough to worry about.....like getting healthy!....If I were Steve I would respond to your email and tell you how I really feel about the situation:D

PS. Earlier today I lost my wallet which had about a million dollars in 20's in it.
I emailed Henry Paulson. Hopefully he will mail me a replacement with a check?;).....Sorry, I had too:D

***Correction*** Mr. Paulson forwarded my email to Tim Geithner.

I believe Tim will reply and ask who was the wallet made by. According to OPs beliefs Gucci( or whoever) should have to pay.
Even if I didn't pay for my phone and it was somehow subsidized, if I lost it, I would feel obligated to pay, since it would be like someone gave me his phone to keep for a few days and I lost it, would I ask for another one?

You came here complaining and whining

stop trying to act like you we're trying to be funny

you were being rude and ignorant , and that is why you received the response you deserve

[brvheart]

so let me get this straight....your phone gets stolen - and you want Apple or AT&T to do something about it and you are willing to try to send Steve Jobs a email when he is sick and on leave expecting him to say, how terrible - let me send you a brand new iphone since yours go stolen....oh yeah and I will send you a new MBP 17" all upgrades, an iMac, AppleTV and anything else that we have - just for you -

you are a selfish, self center a-hole that should be ashamed of your actions, damn someone delete this before it gets really ugly -

and you did not think you were going to get called out by anyone here? And now that you have you are back-pedaling....nice job....nice job

This statement is the very definition of idiocy. Before you go attacking somebody's intelligence, you may want to try learning to use proper spelling and grammar... :rolleyes:

Geez! Relax buddy! You're talking to this guy like he just spat on your mum.

Who cares if he wrote SJ at work? You think he actually goes through those emails?

I can picture you now; coke bottle glasses sliding down your nose as you pound away at those keys, furious that somebody had the audacity to email your idol and messiah and ask for a REPLACEMENT PHONE. Ugh!! What's this world coming to? Get a life man.

[WinterMute]

Way OT, too much angst.
