MacRumors should've left kre62's thread alone instead of locking it and making it a front page story.
Got a tip for us?

Yes Macrumors is the only outlet for this type of news. Really smart idea to lock it down here.
Maybe once it's locked down here you can move on to Engadget, Slashgear, AllThingsD, ARSTechnica, Imore, The Verge etc.
Get busy.
You think they don't get their source from MR here, especially front page news?
Geez. The point escaped you. I'll spell it out for you. If it wasn't MacRumors, it could of been one of the outlets mentioned. Everyone doesn't read MR. You can't lock down a news item like this.
Macrumors is often late with breaking news stories. You've never seen front page news with "IMore is reporting..."?
Expand your horizons beyond MR, your planet is too small.

Yeah, because MR is the only website with new info (that was NOT even an announcement. Someone simply discovered it on their iPhone) and all the others never get any of their own. They simply wait for MR to post a story then they copy it.
No longer working today THANKSGIVING!
Sacramento, iPhone 5, grandfathered unlimited plan. Worked yesterday calling my wife's 4S but not today. Now getting message I need to use wifi or get qualified plan. We have turned our phones off and on several times. I'll reserve praise for AT&T for now.

You do know that the story originated right here with fellow forum member kre62? A forum is the easiest way to find out whether or not a phenomenon might be widespread, not just a single person who happened to come across it especially with the numerous outlets without some form of a discussion forum like MR.
So what? If it was not kre62 it could of been joe blow from iMore, or some other fan site. To think telling MR not to have made it a FP news item would have prevented ATT from eventually making a correction if FT expansion was unintended is naive.

Read through the last two pages of this thread, your answer may be contained therein.
I actually got really excited about this and tried for 5 minutes to get it to work.... it didn't. Then I remembered I've never made a FaceTime call in my life, so it put it in perspective.
and?
Then everyone who FT over cellular is now not working should be getting upset with him and MR, not at AT&T.
AT&T made no announcement this week concerning FT over cellular..
AT&T will never get my unlimited data.
If they ever 'force' me to change, Im going to Verizon
That's a stupid idea. Verizon's data plans are worse than AT&T's offerings, and they charge out the ass for their service, though it is better. [edit: coverage wise] If you feel like spending more money, by all means, go for it, I'm just throwing my 2¢ in.
You mean like being to talk and surf at the same time? Good luck with that.
ATT is not forcing anyone of unlimited. If they were there would be no grandfathered unlimited, period.

Pure speculation. You have no proof other than the reality you dreamed up in your mind that MR help accelerate anything. For all you know ATT could have realized their mistake and were already working on reversing by the time MR contacted them.
