Vodafone Italy: Apple iPhone 5 for sale from 28 September

Vodafone Italy will sell theApple iPhone 5 since September 28. The umpteenth acknowledgement arrives directly by the operator who immediately announces that its customers will be able to buy the new smartphone the Apple morsicata both online and in Store Vodafone scattered on Italian territory. Still sewn mouths about possible dedicated subscriptions, but the portal Vodafone you can still visit the mini site dedicated to the new Apple iPhone 5 to leave your email to be notified of any news about your smartphone of the bitten Apple.

There are also excluded, special events dedicated to the debut of the new Apple iPhone 5, as was done last year for the launch of iPhone 4S.

But if Vodafone Italy is preparing the launch in style of the new iPhone by, even TIM and 3 Italy, others Italian official partner of Apple, we are organizing the same way. On their portals are confirmation that they will make available the new Apple iPhone 5 starting from the day of 28 September and they also offer their customers the opportunity to be informed in real time via email to all the news related to the most anticipated devices of this 2012.

Even TIM and 3 Italy have not yet formalized their plans for the new iPhone by, even though we have tried however to speculate what might be the commercial offers for the new Apple iPhone 5.

However, on social networks and in particular on Twitter, 3 Italy has biased a bit by saying that it will propose the new Apple iPhone 5 at reasonable prices.

Exactly 3 Italy on Twitter wrote:

From 28 September, iPhone 5 available at the Store @ Tre_It. Low rates.

It is at this point that expect the next few days, when the handlers will officially leave their offerings dedicated to the bitten Apple's new smartphone. It should not now be missing much.

FaceTime under 3 g network: here's how Italian managers behave

6 iOS was released last night from Apple and among the many new features we find finally a chance to chat with FaceTime 3 g network too. FaceTime, for those few who still do not know, is a system of dedicated Apple users video calls. All those who are in possession of an iPhone or an iPad or Mac, are able to VideoCall with each other for free. A functional service and very well done that until now was available only under WiFi network.

But as mentioned, with the arrival of iOS 6, FaceTime on iPhone and iPad is now also available in the 3 g network. The possibility of mobile video was an option much awaited by Apple users, but had already wondered if FaceTime service under non-mobile network could result in extra costs relating to the generated data traffic.

Unfortunately, we are aware that many mobile operators shall prohibit the use of VoIP applications on your mobile phone, or let them pay for their use of expensive extras. In America for example AT&T has already announced that those who want to use FaceTime under its mobile network will have to pay extra.

With regard to Italy instead, mobile operators have spoken on this subject just yesterday, driven by the insistent demands of their customers.

3 Italy stated that FaceTime could be safely used under its mobile network at no additional charge. A word that is not surprising given that the handler has never placed any constraint type for using VoIP programs.

Along the same lines of 3 Italy also Wind, that despite not being an official partner of Apple in our country, did know that FaceTime will be easily usable free of charge for all customers who want to make video calls on the move.

Speech a bit different as far as TIM and Vodafone.

TIM, is done only to know that FaceTime will be usable on its own mobile network, but also stated that not all his plans permit data for free. However the operator did not specify what data plans include free use of FaceTime and which are not. Probably we'll find out in the next few days or after the launch of the new Apple iPhone 5.

As for Vodafone, the Manager said that FaceTime under its mobile network you may use freely only if you have subscribed to one of 100 + Smart, Smart 200 + or one of Smart + subscriptions. Would rather cut off all other subscriptions that actually already today in terms of use prohibit the use of VoIP applications.

Do ANY of the new phone have an external antenna jack? Read more: http://cellphoneforums.net/verizon/t302258-do-any-new-phone-have-external-antenna-jack.html#ixzz27DV1z3aS

Need to know by tomorrow if possible. I work int he coast guard and we lose signal on a reg basis out onthe water. We have a cell phone antenna that used to be great with our phones. But now the new phones don't seem to want to offer these. Do you have any idea if there are still phones avaiable that have a port for an external antenna?


If not, what phone offers the best reception for KY on the Ohio river?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

Personally, I haven't heard of any.

It really depends on what city he is in...the Ohio river is pretty big.

For example, Verizon Wireless covers 90% or more of Kentucky...but they do have a couple black spots. AT&T has a lot of spotty areas and T-Mobile barely covers it. I didn't check Sprint PCS, but I'm almost certain they will cover about the same amount as Verizon. It's not so much a phone issue...more of a carrier issue.

-----------------------------------------------------------

I'm right outside of Louisville KY in Prospect. It's supposedly covered. The phone works many places but not in the marina and not in other areas on the river.

Do any phones stick out as offering better reception? I don't want to spend theextra $300 TO BUY A WILSON ELECTRONICS wireless amplifier.

Any info is appreciated.

make a homemade antenna booster that will give you FULL BARS!! Read more: http://cellphoneforums.net/general-cell-phone-forum/t86490-make-homemade-antenna-booster-will-give-you-full-bars.html#ixzz27DULhW6P

Actually, that can work, if...

You make a dipol antenna at 1/2 or 1/4 wavelength out of foil -- better would be copper tho. Of course you'd have to know which GSM frequency your phone is using at the time, and need different size antennae for each frequency.

You could also build a wide-range helical antenna (which I believe is actually built into the phone), out of a q-tip and a single strand of stranded wire.

For the ultimate in range, you could probably put together a yagi-style directional antenna which would allow you to reach a tower 10-15 miles away in direct line of sight, and all for a half an afternoon of work and $15 in hardware. I've put together a "cantenna" (search the web) for my wireless network and have a fast connection to a neighbor's a 3 miles away. I also built a "pentenna" (own design) which is pretty much a 1/4 wavelength microwave dipole inside a BIC pen housing. Boosted signal strength from attic to basement from 10% to 95%.

I think antenna boosters are worthless. I haven't tested them, but they look like a passive RF repeater with a panel-antenna. Of course they boost the received signal by providing a larger resonance element, but at the same time they would weaken the outgoing RF signal because the transmitter now has to excite a larger chunk of metal. Aside from that, a passive repeater loses about 50% of the transmitted RF power by design. And I haven't even said anything about directionality yet...

Phone manufacturers have some pretty smart RF engineers on staff. You can rest assured that for 99% of your use, the built-in antenna is optimal, and for the remaining 1% a $7 "signal booster" won't help you either.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Passive antennas work but require experimentation.

Even cellphones with no external antenna connection can be
"connected" by placing the proper antenna near the phone itself.

See attachment for WORKING example.

Of course if you have ZERO bars on your phone inside a building
even if you could double your signal strength it might not be enough
and some time of amplifier may be required.
Experimentation, along with a little coax and time will pay off.

Remember that some cellphones can take up to 10 seconds to
update their signal strength meters so make changes S L O W L Y.

Enjoy,

Cell phone boosters for the home can help users get better reception, and they are available from various major carriers. Consider a cell phone booster in a home with bad reception with helpful information from a cell phone specialist in this free video on cellular phones.

Hi, I'm Ben from The Cellphone Broker in San Jose, California, and today, I'm going to show you how to use a cell booster for your home or what a cell booster for your home is. Basically, there's a couple of products out on the market today that claim to improve your cell phone reception or coverage in your home. One of my friends was just telling me about how there's one that you can...that's a suction cup where you can attach it to your window and it's supposed to improve the reception. However, it didn't really work too well. So there are other ones available. There's one available from Sprint Nextel. It's called Airave, and what the Airave does is it plugs into your land line, and then it will then...when you make a phone call or you receive a phone call, it'll go to your cell phone, and then it'll wirelessly go to the Airave device into the land line system and it'll end up in Sprint's network. So that's actually a pretty neat feature. However, it does have a monthly fee, and you do have to pay for this pretty expensive equipment to get that. Besides for that, there's not a lot of options for the home. Most people do have pretty good cell phone reception in their homes as it is. The cell phone companies aren't really too concerned about the people who live in rural areas just because there's not a lot of them. Most people who have cell phones do live in metropolitan areas, and so the cell phone companies don't worry about it too much. I'm Ben from The Cellphone Broker in San Jose.
