I have no idea. I work for the same folks that network your iPhone, but I don't have anything to do with iPhones or that network. I have an iPhone that the company gave me to use because I need to use company applications that they can't get to work on the iPhone, so it doesn't do me much good. It is however loaded with applications that I don't use or care anything about. Here's a good one though. I was out on a job where the customer had WiFi, and WiFi was turned on my company provided iPhone, and Apple downloads its upgrades and updates through WiFi. While I was working, I looked down at my iPhone and it was about half way through some upgrade. Huh? Oh well, it reached out to Mother Apple and upgraded itself, so I just let it run its course so I didn't blow anything up and kept doing my thing. When it got done, it gave me a screen that said that I needed to login to Mother Apple to complete the upgrade. Huh? How cool. I had the customer system down, PLANNED and SCHEDULED and my iPhone was down, UNPLANNED and UNSCHEDULED, and I couldn't call anyone to save my life. iPhone was about as useful as a hockey puck over the weekend, because that happened late on a Friday and I started on-call for all off hours that same day, so no one could call me either. After I did get it fixed, WiFi got shut off. And the funny thing? I'm showing an Update pending...that I am not going to allow to happen. My phone rings, I answer. I need to call someone, I do and they answer. Good enough for me. Thats what telephones are supposed to do.

Remember the brick cell phones from decades ago? We moved from brick cell phones to small micro compact flip phones, and now we are back to people walking around with bricks (iPhones) stuck to the sides of our heads...during business hours though. My personal cell phone is a small Verizon Samsung flip phone that rings when someone calls me, and when I need to, it... and that's more than good enough for me.
