No if you call ATT where I work and say your phone has been stolen, we will suspend it.
We will also tell you if you are serious about it, then go to the police and file a report and send us a copy, then it will be reported stolen in the system.
Most people are too lazy to do that... are they just lost the phone but do not have the balls to admit it.
I will paste my post.
We do take all of those precautions when an Iphone unlock request is made.
Actually, here is how we unlock Iphones. We check the imei to make sure it is unlockable. Criteria 1. It has fulfilled its contractual agreement. If was bought at full price we will also unlock. 2. We make sure it was not reported lost or stolen. 3. We verify that Iphone that is requested to be unlocked, was originally engaged on the account they are calling about. We see where it was officially used last on our network and look into it before the unlock code is released. So if the above is not met, the phone is not unlocked. The majority of people who call up and report their iphone stolen, really have lost it. We do suspend them and report them as lost or stolen. Though most are lost. When we tell customers to file a police report saying the phone was stolen, most balk because they know they really left it somewhere. So without a police report, it ain't officially lost. So I would say it is covered.

As much as I might not like the polices of the T, as I work for them, let me correct a few things.
I have never seen a three year contract, a 1 or a 2 but not a three year.
We do track imeis but customers tend to pull their sim cards and hop from phone to phone, sometimes on a daily basis, that we have do system sweeps to update the imeis, because customers do not actually call us and tell us when they do.
Also, I can imagine the indignant customers who want to activate an old iphone or one they got as a gifts righteous indignation if we asked to see original proof of purchase.
I think the majority of the stolen phones are left in taxis, bar stools, bathrooms, and park benches. so they are not stolen.
The new database will take care of this. But if you lose your phone, you don't have to buy another iphone...
Actually,
Imessage will turn into a text message and charge the receiver(or take it off of their text package) if they are not using an iphone. But it still takes off of their data plan, which apple gets a piece of.
Also, you cannot block imessages.... Not smart thinking at apple.
Top of my head and I can name Jules Vernes characters, 3 astronauts in 2001, and of course Rachel in Blade Runner.
And I am 42 and havent picked up any of those books in at least 20 years.
I work for ATT and none of us are happy with the decision.
As to your phone.
What is going to happen is once every couple of months our systems match imeis on file, to the imei actually in your phone, and when it does a data plan will be added automagically to your account.
I work for the T and I can sit at my desk and tell you exactly what phone you are using on our network, even if you sim hop from one phone to the next. Our network grabs your imei from your phone, matches it, and if it is a smart phone, get get placed on a data plan.
I work for ATT.
And many users are streaming between 5-15 gigs to their phones monthly on a regular basis on the unlimited plans.
And 99.9 percent of Iphone users are clueless on how to use wifi.
Well are are sent a text and email about your data usage nearing your cap and if you continue to use your data then exceed the cap you will be charged for additional data.
Really,
The Apple 2 c had a faulty UART that would not let a modem pass 300 bps. So when you brought you Apple to the store in 1983-84 and asked what was going on the Apple store told you they needed to see the modem you owned. Be it a Hayes or USR instead of an apple modem they told you it was the modem, not the machine. Then you had to buy an apple modem. They took your machine in the back, and replaced the uart, and then hooked up an Apple modem with everything magically working.
So fortunately someone figured it out, and we all took our machines in and lied and said we had Apple Modems. So I say complete dicks and proprietary since day one.
First it is Colombia with Os. And last time I checked there were only about 8k Farc left running around in the mountains, so the Colombian government with its 300,000 police and soldiers, not to mention the Billions of dollars in gear that was given to it in plan Colombia..
Plus much of the cokes these days comes from Bolivia and Peru.
Colombia could end cocaine very easily on its own shores, but there is too much money in it at all levels.
As a Colombian American who lives between both countries Colombia is hardly war torn these days, still dangerous in some bits, but you can travel by land now, loads of foreign investment, and a bit brighter future.
Actually argentina has sued yahoo and google successully on numerous occasions to block local access to sites that talked poorly about famed soccer star Maradona and several other famous Argentines.
Really?
I am typing this in a core2duo 1.8 with two gigs of ram bought in 2007. It originally ran XP, then vista, but pulled Vista cause it was a a dog, and then two years ago put a win 7 service candidate on it, and it still runs well. It smoked vista and xp. September 2009 without a reinstall.
I have a thinkpad laptop running win 7 64, got it in jan 2010, no reinstall.
sounds like you do not know how to admin a system.
Actually,
Motorola got screwed by apple when they were in bed together for the Rokr E1 and Apple decided in the middle of the deal that maybe getting into the cell phone market could be profitable, so they crippled the deal and the phone.
Actually you got your history wrong there a bit. And I was a former Bellsouth Mobility then Cingular, then over to Bell South corporate which then switched to ATT and I ran out the door because the CWA fucked us contractually., and was there when most of the changes took place. So from 2001 to 2006 I bounced between all companies involved.
1. SBC and Bell South owned Cingular together. It was a joint venture. SBC owned 60% of Cingular from the get go so, SBC always owned Cingular.
as the majority chare ho
2. Cingular bought ATT Wireless in 2004 and moved all of the customers from ATT wireless over to Cingular. There was a huge customer backlash because ATT Wireless had better plans, customer loyalty programs, and better over seas rates. Cingular also would not allow ATT phones to be used on the network and the ATT side would not unlock them when going from "blue to orange".
the NEW ATT is evil as was the old, but The old networks were an extreme pain in the ass to maintain. I was there during the big push to move the customer base to GSM from TDMA.
They actually starting dumping the older networks in 2001 on. Including in the Carribean and Latin American, they sold them to Telefonica.

Really? I used the feature today.... And I used it in 2004.... and all the years in between.

I work for ATT and might not agree with some of their policies, the unlocking of the Iphone is a contractual obligation the company has with Apple.

What are you doiing on your cell phone, laptop that you need to blow threw that kinda of data a day, which means you should look for another solution.
I work for ATT. And many users are streaming between 5-15 gigs to their phones monthly on a regular basis on the unlimited plans. And 99.9 percent of Iphone users are clueless on how to use wifi.
As someone who handles these types of escalations for the company, I would say it is about 80% of the users.
Well are are sent a text and email about your data usage nearing your cap and if you continue to use your data then exceed the cap you will be charged for additional data.
They are offering 3 gigs for 30 dollars a month.
It was in Windows 200 with the /nogui switch.

I have used it as well and no complaints.
I use HideMyAss vpn, it works, and it is cheap. email me at theflatline@gmail.com if you need details.
