Apple Posts Application for $100 iPhone Credit

Apple Inc. has begun allowing people who bought iPhones before the higher-end model's price was abruptly slashed to apply for a $100 store credit.

The company said the credit would be available for people who bought either the $599 8-gigabyte, iPhone or the $499, 4-gigabyte model before Aug. 22.

People who bought the phones more recently are eligible for refunds.

I used the unlocked iPhone on the T-Mobile Latest News about T-Mobile and T&T wireless networks after inserting SIMs (the small cards in each phone that identify the subscriber) swapped from my other mobile phones.
 
There were a few hitches. With a non-AT&T SIM, I had to change some simple settings to gain access to e-mail Email Marketing Software - Free Demo or the Web over the phone network. Neither of the two SIM cards allowed me to use the iPhone's visual voice mail feature, which lets the user go straight to any voice message by selecting it from a list on the screen. On the plus side, the unlocked iPhone let me cruise around on WiFi networks without any SIM card at all. You can't do that on a locked iPhone. Oddly enough, the YouTube Latest News about YouTube application did not work on this PureMobile unit.
