Re: Anybody using T-Mobile $30 Monthly Plan w/ iPhone? - 10 years ago

QuoteAlthough WalMart's plan is a no contract plan, I don't think it is prepaid, and so there would be taxes and fees. I believe the new TMobile plan is prepaid, so if you buy your own PINs online from a retailer, not TMobile, I don't think there would be the taxes and fees. Yes, plus walmart is just reselling tmobile's service. I'd rather go right to the horse's mouth and still get prepaid ser

Thanks for the info pinkoos. I'm running whited00r, so all the Tmo fixes are already done, and there's no imessage to worry about, since it's ios3. Do you know where the extra fees come from? They're likely state/local taxes, but I just want to be sure I'm pretty close to $30 per month.

Anybody using T-Mobile $30 Monthly Plan w/ iPhone? - 10 years ago

So, I've got a nice iPhone 2g that works great and am thinking of getting tmobile's new 100 mins/Unlimited Text/ Unlimited Data monthly 4g plan that runs $30/month. Is anybody else using this plan? Its absolutely perfect for my needs and I can't really beat the price. They're really vague about taxes and fees. I know prepaid customers aren't charged them, but I'm not sure if they apply to this ty

Re: Your tax dollars at work in New York - 10 years ago

Its a shame you resent people younger than you having sex and getting practical advice about it. Kids that are maturing sexually should know where to buy condoms, what activities pose risks, and where they can get reliable information on sex anonymously. Go ask Alice is a pretty benign site, that answer kids questions in a much more clinical and up front manner than typical bawdy teenage conversa

iPhone 2g battery replacement? - 10 years ago

So, it looks like I'll be coming into an 4gb iPhone 2g soon. It works great, but only has about a half hour battery life. I'm looking at OWC, Rapid Repair, and Milliamp's battery replacement services. Anybody care to share their experiences? Everywhere costs about $60. Does anyone know a place that'll do it on the cheap? I'm leaning towards OWC, sine they're trustworthy, but would like to hear so

Re: question for you hackintoshers out there - 10 years ago

It may work as-is, depending on what controllers the motherboard uses. You need to know what specific components are included before you start looking for a new motherboard. Sometimes a vanillia install will work just fine on hardware like that.

Buy a Costco gift card to shop with. By law, they're required to let you shop in the store w/o having to purchase a membership. Obviously, they don't play this fact up to the general public, but it's true. I'd imagine sams has a similar policy.
