Can't you just turn on Airplane Mode when you're abroad?

From another post he posted he was also asking if he could turn off edge but still have access to his ipod and wifi. Currently, you can not use wifi in airplane mode. I actually tried this last night and it didn't work.

Correct. Airplane Mode disables all send/receive functionality including phone, SMS, bluetooth, EDGE and WIFI.
 
FYI: I just received the following free text message from At&t:

Good News! Your unlimited text messaging plan now includes text, picture, and instant messaging. No action required.
 
That AT&T Message is very interesting! Please tell me you are not lying! Can we see a screenshot? I couldn't find anything at the AT&T website.

BTW, there is anybody here who thinks the update will come today? Are we all resigned to wait to the 28th at this point? :(

All data plans are MMS capable - always have been. Obviously it does not matter if the handset is not. In other words; this in now way indicates that the phone itself is now MMS capable.

Not to dissapoint anyone, but it looks like to me it's a general msg from ATT to people who don't have unlimited data plan (no iPhone)... People with text MSG only plan usually get charge per MMS, but now they start new system. So you might have receive the MSG by mistake.

Another reason I'm saying this is because I think I heard on the radio today, like an hr ago, ATT now gives you unlimited MMS and that's also to friends with any other carrier in the nation, something like that. I recall thiis was nothing specifically headed to iphone owners but everyone. I was way bak from school and driving, so didn't pay attention to much, but now I see your post and reminded me.

But hey, I'm not saying MMS won't come to iPhone!
 
AT&T text message to iPhone hints at picture, instant messaging

"AT&T text message to iPhone hints at picture, instant messaging

By David Chartier | Published: September 21, 2007 - 11:41AM CT

The iPhone is still lacking plenty of apps and features. But if picture and text messaging are at the top of your gripes list, a new text message AT&T is sending to iPhone owners might hint that change is in the air. Jordan Golson at MacApper received a message (pictured) that reads:

AT&T FREE Msg: Good News, your messaging package now includes text, picture & instant messages all for the same price of $19.99 per month. No action required

We already know there's a lot more to this month's pending iPhone software update (which includes the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store), but the arrival of MMS capabilities and/or "true" instant messaging would surely put a smile on many an iPhone owners' faces and a few more sales in Apple's pockets. Of course, at this point, this is absolutely nothing but speculation, so keep that in mind.

As to when this software update to the iPhone will arrive—or whether it will actually include any of these features—we still don't know, but there is another week left in September, so anything can happen. "

Seriously guys, I heard on the radio, Att is giving unlimited MMS to anyone now, or somewhere on that line. Not only iPhone users. The station was 102.1 in Dallas TX area, around 10:00 ~ 11:00.

Ask you att non iPhone friend if he received the same massage. All my fronds are tmobile, so please someone? Cuz I want MMS too, and I wanna believe what u saying.
 
This text message story is really getting me interested! I really hope it means something for us iPhone users. However, I've learned not to get too excited over rumors. It only leads to disappointment. So yeah, be patient. :)
 
I know that ya'll wanted to just forget about the update until it happens... but I would rather dwell on it. Is it really gonna be another 8 days minimum? C'mon!

Too bad the iPhone doesn't have MMS capabilities. :cool:
 
Are you thinking about buying a car? Have you settled on New or Used? It's not an easy decision to make. A new car is guaranteed to work, while an old car is cheaper. With a new car, you can get it in any model, any color, and you get to customize it, while with an old car, you have to take what's available. Buying an old car means you might not have to deal with a pushy salesman, while buying a new car means that you do. Which ever you choose, you're going to need an autoloan and warranty.

Now, for an auto loan. You aren't going to want to finance through the dealership. Most dealerships add 2-3% interest on the rates that's just pure profit for them. When you buy a car, used or new, you don't want to pay any more than you already have to. When you want a loan, get it from a third party, either a bank, or a specialized auto loan lender. Whatever you do, just remember, you want to get a car loan.

Now, as for a warranty, you need one. The car isn't going to be perfect from the time you buy it till the time you want another one. Car parts will break down, or unforeseen events will happen to your vehicle. With the right warranties, it doesn't have to hurt your pocket book. Getting an auto loan helps you save when buy a car, a warranty helps you save while you're driving a car. Warranties come in many ranges of terms and coverage, so choosing the best one for you isn't always an easy decision. You definitely want the big things covered, but the small things, like oil filters and spark plugs, you can handle yourself or get some friendly good advice.

Next time you want to buy a car, don't make an uninformed decision. Doing your homework, by researching how much others have paid, how much you can get in a loan from another source,how much the dealer paid for the car, etc... can really pay off when you do finally purchase a vehicle.
