    4G Service

    Ok I might be a little slow on noticing my iphone saying I have 4G service (AT&T) but when did this happen? Others in the state have it? Out of state?
    Just curious.

    My Blackberry only has 3G, and AT&T has repeaters in our building here in BG. I'll have to check it out when I get out on the public towers. Wouldn't necessarily notice, I seldom use my phone's browser, mostly do phone,texts, and the AT&T navigator.

    It says you have 4g but you don't. They don't have the capability for the iphone yet so it just looks good on your phone. Not far off but isn't really 4g yet.

    Your service is the same as it's always been. It started showing 4G after the iOS update last week to 5.1. It wasn't really a change in service as a change in interpretation of signal and the icon that corresponds to it.

    Hmmm.

    I hadn't noticed, but I looked down and BE DANGED....it says 4G.

    Up until last week, I think mine had been reading "1.21 Gigawatts" or something like that. All I know is that my iPhone can do so much cool stuff that it's insane. In 1985, you had to have a DeLorean powered by Mr. Fusion to travel back in time....now there's probably an App for that.

    BUT, Steve Jobs didn't think of everything. Drop it in the toilet and it's totally defenseless. Toilet Water = Kryptonite

    Your phone has to be 4G capable before you can have the service.

    ........... my friend, toilet water isn't sudden death to your phone, if you get it out before you flush. I was fishing the mighty Ohio River with " Doug " Tyme's brother I think, could be wrong on that. but anyway stepped in the water to get a rock to use for an anchor. and without thinking, gave my phone a bath. took the battery out as soon as I could. and when I got home put it in a bag of white rice, and left it for a couple days, took it out of the rice and put the battery back in the phone. and it worked just fine. the rice will draw the water out and your phone is dry once again.
