After the debacle earlier this week when my cable modem died & trying to talk to Time-Warner support on my cell phone now that the nearest tower is on the other side of a hill & I have to go outside to get any signal at all ... I finally sprung for one of those internet (VoIP) phones.
I know it won't help me at all if the cable modem dies again, but for everything else I'm really satisfied. I have my old standard desk set plugged in to it, and whenever I pick up the handset I get a dial tone. Incoming calls actually make the phone ring. I'm in hog heaven. I'd really like to have a POTS land-line, but as long as AT&T continues to have an absolute monopoly on residential service here in Raleigh, that ain't gonna' happen. So, to bring this back on topic, how well does your new iPhone5 work if all you want to do is make a telephone call from where-ever you are right now? From: "John Mullan"
But iPhones are so cool, and iPhone 5 is new, and my iPhone 4s is so uncool and I drank from the Apple kool-aid and I gotta have one... sheesh! is right jm -----Original Message----- From: Rick Womer Sent: Friday, September 28, 2012 7:58 AM To: Pentax List Subject: iPhone 5--sheesh! The modern hospital-based physician carries a smartphone rather than a beeper nowadays. My hospital-issued Droids have provided nothing but malfunction and frustration for the last few months, and the IS folks put in an advance order for an iPhone 5. It arrived yesterday. It's sleek, light, fast, etc. It won't connect to the hospital's servers. It won't connect to the university's servers. It won't even bloody connect to iCloud! We spent an hour screwing around, trying various things; no joy. Back to the Droid. A few hours later I got an email from one of the IS engineers trying to unravel the problem: Connecting to servers is "a known issue with iOS6", and Apple is working to resolve it. If there is an earthquake in northern California this weekend, it likely will have been triggered by Steve Jobs spinning like a Dervish in his grave. Rick
