I’m very very happy with service delivered from UnlockiPhone345.com.
Their customer support is excellent and very quick in helping.
In just two short years with my iPhone, I have come to realize my life will never be the same.
Email: We live in a world where we have become accustomed to instant gratification. In our culture, our customers do not want to wait days for their email to be returned. With the iPhone, I can cater to their needs and expectations. I have both my personal and business email synchronized on my phone so that I can immediately respond to messages. If I am out of the office, I do not have to worry about returning to ninety eight emails upon my return. Rather, I can answer the emails as I receive them. The email capabilities the iPhone awards me allow me to be more productive and serve my customers better.
Contacts: The days of the file a fax or rolodex are over. Little black books are unnecessary. The iPhone has allowed me to have all the information I could possibly want in one location. I can look up someone’s phone number, address, birthday, Facebook profile picture, and their business URL all with the click of one button. If I want to share any of my contacts with another person, I can do this as well with the click of a button. If I am lucky enough to meet another iPhone user who has the Bump application installed, I can swipe my contact information with them with the bump of our fists. Who needs business cards anymore?
Mobile Banking Applications: As you might have figured out, I am always on the go. It gets difficult to keep up with my bills that are due while I am away, as well as maintain an accurate balance on my bank account. However, I never have to worry about overdrafts and insufficient funds notices because I have my mobile banking applications. Wells Fargo and Discover Card, two of my biggest banking affiliates, both have applications that make transferring funds, paying bills, and checking balances much easier. With the banking apps, I no longer have to worry about finding a computer to pay my bills when I’m on the road, nor do I have to worry about finding a Wells Fargo branch to make a money transfer. These apps save me more time, which saves me more money, which in turns makes me a happier, healthier iPhone user!
Maps: I wasn’t born with the best sense of direction. I often don’t know which way is north. I also like to be “green” whenever I can. Enter the maps application on the iPhone. I no longer have to print out directions from online and waste valuable sheets of paper. I also don’t have to anticipate where my trip may take me. I can go on a trip without planning exactly where I need to go because I can just map my directions as I go. Also, the days of getting lost are gone. I can take a wrong turn in downtown Houston but find my way back onto the appropriate course in the matter of a few seconds. No one likes the feeling of being lost, and with the iPhone maps application, I don’t have to feel the sinking feeling of being lost either.
Voice Memos: I should preface this statement by letting you know that I like to write, a lot. I have plans to put all of my ideas into books someday, but right now I mostly have thoughts recorded. Combine my always searching mind with my desire to write and you have a motor vehicle accident waiting to happen. Luckily for me, my iPhone has the voice memos application that allows me to record my thoughts with the click of a button. When I am driving down the road and a meaningful thought crosses my mind, I no longer have to search through my purse for a pen and paper (or napkin, or card, or envelope) and cause my truck to swerve across the freeway. Now, I unlock my iPhone and open up the voice memos app. With one touch, I can begin recording my thoughts. When I get home, I plug my phone into my laptop and upload my voice memos to iTunes. I can then file the memos into proper storage on my computer and transcribe them into writing. I’d say the iPhone not only changed my life, but might also saved my life.
If you don’t have an iPhone, you are definitely missing out. The iPhone has changed my life in many more ways that I could have ever expected. In February 2009, I thought I was walking into the AT&T store to replace my Blackberry. Turns out, I was walking into the store to replace bad habits and productivity that was definitely lacking.
Telus started the week by becoming the first major Canadian carrier with a flexible unlocking policy. As of February 15, customers will have the option of paying to unlock any GSM-based phones. The approach will carry a $50 fee but will only require that customers have had the phone on the network for at least 90 days.
Unlocks won’t include the iPhone at first, but Apple’s phone should have the option soon.
The deal doesn’t get users out of their contracts but is a potentially major help for travelers. It will let customers avoid paying extremely high roaming rates for voice or data and instead gives the option of using a prepaid SIM through a local carrier.
Telus’ deal isn’t first but is noticeably much more favorable than that for Rogers’ unlocking strategy. While Rogers already unlocks the iPhone and other devices, it currently forces customers to run the length of their entire contract before they can get the unlock, in many cases rendering the unlock impractical.
Rogers has been concerned that customers could use the unlocked phones to jump to a competing carrier, but the argument has been criticized for its questionable logic. Since customers are still bound to the monthly contract, they would pay for the device subsidy and the possible early termination fee regardless of the phone’s locked state.
Bell hasn’t said if it will follow suit.
TELUS starts unlocking wireless devices on February 15
TELUS customers enjoy more more flexibility and freedom
Toronto, ON – TELUS today announced that starting February 15, “unlocking” will be available for most SIM-based devices (IDEN and HSPA) for TELUS postpaid customers. This new service is the latest in a series of initiatives to enhance the customer experience at TELUS by providing more flexibility and freedom in the way customers use their wireless devices.
“Wireless devices are far more sophisticated and powerful than they were even five years ago and our customers are asking us now to give them the freedom and flexibility to use these devices as they wish. We are listening and responding to their needs, through services like device unlocking,” said David Fuller, Chief Marketing Officer at TELUS. “It’s all part of our commitment to continue to drive flexibility, simplicity and transparency within our offerings. Over the last few years, we’ve eliminated system access and carrier 911 fees, designed simpler family plans, created proactive alerts that notify customers going over their data allotments, and created options for our customers to upgrade to a new device faster. Helping our customers to unlock their device is just one more step in this overall service evolution.”
Customers subscribing to a monthly plan (postpaid) and using an active and eligible SIM-based device for a minimum of 90 days will be eligible to have their device unlocked for a fee of $50.
TELUS is commited to offering the best overall customer experience in the industry. As a part of our quality mandate, TELUS works closely with leading manufacturers to ensure that their devices are built and tested for optimal performance on TELUS’ network. During that process, TELUS locks the devices in order to maintain TELUS-specific configuration settings such that customers are getting the best possible experience when using applications and services on TELUS’ network.
