Thank you

You kept two crap phones? Why would you do that given your Android tab experience?

Not to make light of your struggle, but there's such a thing as return and exchange. There have been people who've been unhappy with iDevices as well, and that's always been my thinking: If something is clearly failing you or it just doesn't fit you, return it. Don't buy two of them, lol.

We didn't buy them and we can't afford new right now. So we're stuck. At least it makes calls....sometimes.

If you get a free phone, you're essentially agreeing to buy, because you've generally contracted two years of your data purchases in exchange. If you get any phone that barely makes calls out of such a purchase, it should be easily something you can demonstrate and return. You have a return/exchange window at every legit carrier or retailer.

We've learned to live with it, but i won't be sorry to see them go.

I just don't understand why if they gave you so much grief you kept them?
As has already been mentioned if a contract phone plays up you simply return it and exchange for another or different model.

Makes no sense to me, either. I sure wouldn't keep any device that didn't work, much less pay a monthly data plan for it for two years.

Don't use them enough to care

 

[Kaykaykay]

This post makes me loathe Android worse than i already do. Lol The OS is crap, IMO. It doesn't just work, unlike iOS.

The lack of consistency here doesn't make sense.

I generally only make phone calls for work. For that I have an extremely dumb company-supplied Samsung. For everything else, the iPhone takes over. One reason I'm unlikely ever to switch from the iPhone is that it does everything I could possibly want, and then some. It might be a lack of imagination on my part, but in two years, I've never found anything that my iPhone can't handle.

And you can get older iPhones for free.

What are you talking about? When i first got the phone, i intended to use it more than it's apparently capable of, so it gets used as a phone, hardly anything more except gps which it fortunately does well. What's so difficult to comprehend here, really?

Interesting...... Using your iPhone I would genuinely like to hear how you achieve the following:-
You are in a meeting and your colleague wishes for you to pass him a file or a presentation, how do you complete the act?

This could be one of the reasons I drive a truck for a living. If I'm in a "meeting" chances are I'm getting fired.

...but seriously, I would probably have an FTP server set up, and email the link and logon details to him, if I was in that sort of position.

LOL, thanks... I asked for that.

Again interesting choice in using an FTP & email for transfer.
With an Android phone I would send the file via Bluetooth or if both phones were capable send it via NFC.

Have you checked out Bump, which has been recently upgraded? Depends on what kind of files you want to transfer, but maybe that might work. I use the app across my iOS and Android devices.

 

[KevinJS]

I assume that if I was using Keynote, the facility would exist to transfer files. I don't have it, so I don't know, but when I send something from Pages, I simply choose the filetype and send it by email.
