NO incoming call while on Internet !!!!

Hi,

my brand new 3G does NOT allow me to receive calls while on the net via 3G (GPS, surfing, receiving mails, or ...)

I just call the Apple Support Center and they told me :

IT IS A FEATURE !
You have to choose, or you use it as a phone or you use it as an Internet client !

I can NOT believe what I hear !

3G offers the speed and the comfort of ADSL, while the iPhone3G just offers the confort of the old analogic modem !

They told me that they would maybe do something for this IF many complaints are arised for that.
Please react 😉

All together we will make our iPhone3G perfect

If you are in a 3G area, calls will come through. If you are using Edge or GPRS, calls will go to voicemail.

Hi Tamara,

seems you are knowledgable.
Is this specific to the iPhone or for ALL the phones ?

Keep in mind, additionally when iPhone is on WIFI you can surf the web and still get phone calls.

As far as I know, it should work the same for all 3G GSM phones.

Thanks,

I'll do that.

Happy to hear, read that it should be a EDGE feature and not an iPhone3G missing feature.

Thanks for all guys.

Nice to see some are very knowledgeable 😉
