AT&T raising no-commit pricing by $50, matching Verizon?

AT&T raising no-commit pricing by $50, matching Verizon

If you thought no-commit — or full — price for a Verizon iPhone 4 would be $50 more than AT&T, think again as it looks like AT&T is bumping up their no-commit pricing to match.

The new no-commit price for a 16GB iPhone 4 is $649 and a 32GB is $749. If you’re after an iPhone 3GS, however, the price has dropped $25 to $474. Go figure.

So if you’re paying full price on either carrier in the near future at least you can take some small comfort in knowing it’s the same price on both networks.

Anyone forking over that much cash for a new, non-exclusive iPhone 4 on either network?

Apple Store Verizon iPhone orders now shipping

Apple Store Verizon iPhone orders now shipping

It looks like Verizon iPhone pre-orders made via Apple.com are finally starting to ship, playing a little catch-up with Verizon iPhone orders made via Verizon.com that started shipping last week. The one above is coming straight from the factory in Shenzhen, China. Based on reports in our Verizon iPhone Forum, Tuesday is the expected timeframe for delivery.

Some Verizon.com orders claim they’ll be arriving as early as Monday but Apple has placed holds on deliveries in the past, making sure they’re ready but not released until launch day — in this case February 10. Still, the Verizon iPhone 4 is still and iPhone and Apple may not be as invested in keeping the deliveries in lock-step this time around. With pre-orders selling out, creating the most successful launch in Verizon history, there’s bound to be a lot of trucks on a lot of roads no matter how they try to organize it.

Has your Apple.com Verizon iPhone order shipped yet? Let us know your status in the comments and help us keep track in the Verizon iPhone Forum.

[Thanks Noell!]

Daily Tip: How to enable group MMS text messaging

Posted: 04 Feb 2011 06:53 PM PST

Have you ever wondered how to send a text message to several people and have their replies reach the whole group? This feature is known as group messaging. To learn exactly what group messaging entails and how to enable it, follow along after the break!

Enabling group messaging is a simple task; but first, let’s make sure you understand exactly what group messaging is. Basically, this setting controls whether or not the complete address list is sent to everyone in the group.

  • When OFF, each recipient will be unaware that anyone else received the same message.
  • If you have group messaging set to ON, but your recipient does not, then that recipient will not see the group list.
  • If both you and the recipient have group messaging enabled, then all recipients are displayed.
  • When a recipient of the message replies, it is sent to all members of the group.
  • All messages are included in a single thread and the senders’ names will be displayed above each message.
  • If Group Messaging is enabled, messages sent to the group are billed as a single message.

Now that it’s understood what all that group messaging entails, how do you enable it? Simple:

  1. Launch Settings
  2. Tap Messages
  3. Toggle “Group Messaging” to ON

There you have it! Now you’re ready to partake in group text conversations. Have fun and let us know if you have any questions!

UPDATE: Our commenters have pointed out that this feature appears to only be available on AT&T.

Tips of the day will range from beginner-level 101 to advanced-level ninjary. If you already know this tip, keep the link handy as a quick way to help a friend.
