For other phones, when the message exceeds the allowed SMS count of letters which I believe is 160, it gets 'sorted' out sent separately but not for iPhone. The whole message gets sent at one go. However, the carrier will still charge per the 160 letters per message cost.

There have been reported cases in LYN that for the hairline cracks problem, forummers here have successfully claimed under the warranty from Maxis.

In a word, YES!

Only when you purchase the iPhone from Maxis under their Pre-paid Package.

The answer to the first part of your question is yes. As for the 2nd part, please read the threads in this sub-forum to acquire the knowledege and know-how if you intend to fully utilize the iPhone.

Are you referring to SIM import? If you are, it is in the phone, not in iTunes.

If they are infact cracks, suggest you do not procrastinate and take it back to Maxis for an exchange. Cracks, hairline or not, are known to widen with time. So, make the trip quickly.

However, there is every likelihood you will get a reburbished unit in exchange which is actually quite unfair as your iPhone is new, relatively.

That's good news for 3GS owners, at least for the time being. However, one has to wait for the replacement since inventory is still scarce.

Yes, you can.

Please read the pinned threads.

Naturally, of late they have been more questions posted due to the influx of new iPhone owners. Senior or experienced members will try to assist by providing answers particularly one of our mods, 'Tink' who has been quite accommodating but when someone does not even bother to read the threads in an endeavour to find out and learn more about the precious little gadget and expects to be spoonfed with the most fundamental of answers, it just won't do.

Before you curse me, if you follow the forum, you will know I am not the only one who raises this point.

Guys, do yourselves a favour. Read the threads here. They are really helpful and will increase your knowledge on the expensive gadget which you can fully exploit by doing so.

By all means, ask questions when you can't find the answers after scouring but not when you didn't at all. Cheers.

For jailbroken iPhones, in Cydia.

Actually, the Slide to Answer appears when your phone is on sleep mode, when a call comes in. The Answer or Cancel options appear only when your phone is awake.

Correct/Clear Elaboration!

In Cydia there is an app called 'Notifier'. With it, it shows icons for missed calls, messages, mails at the top right next to the battery icon. This means you would be able to know of the aforementioned without having to go into your springboards. You could view them at just the lock screen.

Somehow the inventory is all 'messed' up. Some people I know got theirs later but with earlier OS.

This is something I discovered which may help.

I actually have a Maxis 3GS but when I try to send MMS vide the message route, it cannot be sent. But if you were to go to the picture/photo you want sent, click the option for MMS and it gets sent. If your settings are all correct, this may solve your problem.

Go to Cydia and download Volume Boost. It is supposed to enhance overall the sound volume of your iPhone.

Try WunderRadio.

It is across the board, for Maxis anyway. So don't fret. Your iPhone's reception can and will randomly go MIA when the signal is weak. It is not the fault of the iPhone you own. Just reboot and you are good to go again.

Isn't that putting the cart before the horse?
