Study shows steady decline in AT&T brand perception

September 12, 2009 :: Posted by - SoSly :: Category - News

Since the launch of the iPhone 3GS, public perception of AT&T has progressively decreased, while opinions about competitor Verizon Wireless remained relatively unchanged, a new study shows.

In a daily survey of 5,000 people 18 and older, YouGov’s BrandIndex tracks companies based on factors of quality, value, satisfaction, recommendation, reputation and impression. When combining those categories, AT&T’s index score of 18.3 on June 16 had eroded to a 14.6 on Thursday — a change company senior vice president Ted Marzilli told AppleInsider is “statistically significant.”

He said the survey could indicate that some people may pause before they buy an iPhone because they don’t want to be locked into an AT&T contract. Though he believes the contract between AT&T and Apple has likely been beneficial to both parties for the last two years, the timing of AT&T’s public perception decline suggests the issue can be traced to the launch of the iPhone 3GS — or, more specifically, the network’s inability to meet the bandwidth needs of users with the device.

“It may be hindering iPhone adoption at this point,” Marzilli said, “and Read more…

New AT&T Specific Features Rumored For Future iPhone Update

September 07, 2009 :: Posted by - SoSly :: Category - News

Apple and its exclusive US wireless provider AT&T could soon deliver new carrier-specific features to iPhone users through a future software update in a bid to increase customer satisfaction.

At least one of the enhancements, according to those claiming knowledge of the matter, would be similar to the Visual Voicemail feature made popular on the iPhone two years ago, in that it may require AT&T to tailor changes to its network.

In particular, the two parties are said to be mulling the possibility of enabling the following capabilities through an update to the iPhone’s software that could arrive before year’s end:

  • Overage Alerts: A proposed new setting under the iPhone’s “Phone” preferences would allow users to customize a push notification — in the form of a badge, message, or sound — to be issued when they’re in danger of exceeding their monthly anytime minutes.
  • New Voicemail Options: A new “Voicemail” setting, also proposed as an addition to the touch-screen handset’s “Phone” preferences, would provide a means for users to disable Read more…

AT&T MMS Being Activated Slowly

September 07, 2009 :: Posted by - SoSly :: Category - News

All over the web your seeing that people’s mms is working and here I am again adding on to that talk. I recently saw that some AT&T users were happily sending mms. I have never tried to get mms to work for me as I know I won’t be a big user but I decided to give it a shot just to see if I could get it to work. What I did was download this updated 5.0 ipcc file HERE, the ipcc file  is an update to your AT&T carrier file, you may check your version in the about section on your iPhone, it should say 4.0. I then tried to update my iPhones carrier settings by holding shift+update and then tried to click the ipcc file but it wouldn’t so I used THIS TUTORIAL for my mac so that I could choose the ipcc file. I ended up updating the ipcc to 5.0 and i got some extra settings in General/Network which said cellular data network. I then entered mms settings people said had worked for them and then my hopes were shot down as mms didn’t work at all. I woke up this morning and tried to send an mms which I didn’t expect to work and whadda-ya-know message sent. I checked my att account using the mywireless app from the appstore and I saw that my data plan had been changed or something so I called att and they said everything was fine and that my iphone unlimited messaging plan had been changed to regular messaging unlimited, I didn’t care to annoy them as my mms was working. End of story is that i’m positive they may be activating MMS all around the U.S. Slowly but surely.

MMS Available to iPhone 3G & iPhone 3GS Customers On September 25

September 04, 2009 :: Posted by - SoSly :: Category - News

After months of speculation, AT&T has finally announced that MMS will be available to their iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS customers on September 25.
Unfortunately, there is still no news as to when tethering will be available as there was no mention of it in the press release, so looks like AT&T customers will have to wait even longer for that feature.

As you might know, AT&T was one of the carriers that did not offer MMS and tethering feature to their customers, which was included in iPhone OS 3.0.
AT&T has explained the reason for the delay in rolling out the feature:

” We know many of our iPhone customers are eager for an update on our rollout schedule for Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS). We’ve been working for the past several months to prepare our systems and network to ensure the best possible experience with MMS when it launches – and that launch date is: September 25 for iPhone 3G and 3GS customers. MMS will be enabled through a software update on that day.We know that iPhone users will embrace MMS. The unique capabilities and high usage of the iPhone’s multimedia capabilities required us to work on our network MMS architecture to carry the expected record volumes of MMS traffic and ensure an excellent experience Read more…

September 02, 2009 :: Posted by - SoSly :: Category - News

If your a happy AT&T iPhone user but aren’t paying for an iPhone data plan you may be in for a wake up call. An AT&T customer named Jorge recieved a txt message earlier letting him know that he does not have the necessary data plan required for his iPhone he uses and if he does not call ATT customer support to change it by Sept. 14 he risks interruption of his data service. What do you have to say about this? Do you think it is wrong and people should choose whether they want to pay for the data plan or not?? Comment your thoughts and opinions.
