On VZW 3G:

Ping: 99 ms

Download: 0.21 Mbps

Upload: 0.02 Mbps

Not too good, but signal is notoriously bad for everyone in this building. Will do one from home with all 5 bars later.

Turn edge it would be faster lol.

My god that's terrible. You must be in a building with lots of concrete. That's worse than dial up. :eek:

Interested to see how it does from your home - which area of the country do you live? Still trying to decide on Verizon or AT&T. Like AT&T speed but like Verizon unlock

Oh crap, didn't realize you were Verizon. Must've skipped that part. I was hoping to see some AT&T speeds since verizon is supposedly gonna be crap in comparison. You had my hopes up with the first one till I saw that you said "wireless" and I was like "awww"

Thanks though :)

Still waiting to see what happens when you put a tmobile or at&t sim in that bad boy
 
Did just notice something interesting about those results though. That's REALLY low ping in comparison to what I was used to getting on my iPhone 4. I don't think I ever saw less than 133ms. Usually 2-300s sometimes higher. On AT&T that is. Verizon always seems to have better latency.
 
I think that means if you're on an account with lets say your mom and dad. You unlock your phone, and your dad has to wait 10 months before he can request to have his phone unlocked.
That's not right. You can do one SIM unlock per phone number every 10 months.
 
Hmm...I just found this:

It says it was updated October 11...but it doesn't list Sprint as a US carrier, so it may not be accurate.

OP, this page says: "After a carrier applies an unlock, connecting your iPhone to iTunes allows iTunes to unlock your iPhone. iTunes displays the "unlock complete" message above the first time you connect a newly unlocked iPhone (or an unlocked iPhone that has been restored)."

Let us know :)
 
TheDude, would you mind trying out something on Siri for me? My co-workers and I were trying to come up with things to ask/say to it hoping to get responses like the 2001 and Hitchhikers references.

What happens when you tell Siri "The cake is a lie"?

Verizon offers unlocking too.
 
I contacted my AT&T CS regarding AT&T iPhone 4s unlock,

Me: I would like to take my new iPhone 4s out of the country this Dec, can you guys offer to unlock my new iPhone 4s like Verizion and Sprint? And I have been a good customer with you guys for 7 years.

AT&T: Let me check with my supervisor..... 3 mins later. SORRY, we currently don't offer to unlock any Apple product, but you can unlock it from someone else.

Me: What do you mean by someone else?:)

AT&T: Just google "Jailbreak iPhone", you will find a lots information about it.

Me: ..... Speechless:(

LOL! That's hilarious.
 
Those data speeds are abysmal. Now I'm considering returning my VZW 4S and going ATT. :eek:

need to read the disclaimer on the bottom. He was in a building that has bad signal. It would of been bad on AT&T as well.

AT&T will be faster but not by much.

I have a flacky AT&T signal in my house. On my Atrix I pulled 0.438 down and .582 up and that honestly is pretty good. I have seen numbers lower inside the house on test.

If I step out side and walk down the street a little ways I can max out the server I am speed testing off of but I have gotten numbers in the 7Mbit range before.

I can't believe an AT&T rep would advise you to do something to void your warranty. That's insane. Dude needs to get fired.

Yes, I was shocked.... I can't believe AT&T would advised me to jailbreak iPhone 4s to unlock it... I'm super disappoint with them right now. I will switch out to Verizion or Sprint when the next iPhone comes out. Sick of the AT&T SIM LOCK CRAP.
 
In other news, I just saw this article which states Verizon's unlocking policy quite clearly:

“It is our standard unlock policy for all Global Phones. You have to have been a customer for 60 days and in good standing (meaning your bill is current) and the phone you want to unlock must be on our network at the time of the request. You call Verizon Wireless before you leave the country and we unlock the SIM. We will honor one unlock every 10 months.” — Brenda Raney, Verizon Wireless Public Relations

We already knew that but it's good to see it from an official source. Only question now is whether OPs unlock went through correctly.
