Now, with iPhone 4S, not sure if I should go for 4S or stick with buying
iPhone 4 and wait for iPhone 5, or (oh dear) maybe 6?
=======================================================

This, among many other messages, sounds as if it's the *name* that's the
hangup, not the product itself.

Would you leap if it were "iPhone 5"?

It's *this year's version*, whatever its name. Either it has something that
interests you or it doesn't, and if it does then either you decide it's
worth the price ($, contract, whatever) or it's not &/or you can either
afford it or you can't.

This isn't something someone else can decide for you -- only you know if a
better (?) camera, faster processor, more memory, etc etc etc is worth it
*to you.*

Personally, I don't care what it's called; I'm still not interested in a new
phone just now. But if I were going to buy a new one at all I wouldn't get
one that's already an older model -- i.e. I wouldn't buy a 4 now, I'd either
stick with what I already had or get the 4S.

(happy with my 4 even if it is old-tech :-))

Agree that the name seems to be the hangup for a lot of folks. So far every version has had something(s) the previous one didn't. That will probably hold true next year or whenever the next version is released. I don't recall ever seeing anything other than speculation that this one would be "iPhone5." I don't know what would make "iPhone5" better than "iPhone 4S." It's semantics.

I also agree on not buying the older model that is 12-18 months in. We did that two years ago, getting my wife a 3G six months after the 3GS was released. I had a 3G at the time and didn't feel what I considered a few upgrades to be worth the extra $ for the 3GS. Now her 3G is almost obsolete so I'm using her upgrade to get the 4S and will pass down my 4 to her (I'm the heavier user of the phone so she is fine with that). I would now rather spend a little more to get the current one and the two-year contract rather than get the contract and a "new" phone that's already 12-15 months old.

But that's just my situation. YMMV.

settings, general, date & time, set automatically.
make sure you did this. and if it isn't working turn the phone completely off. try again.
if still not working stop in an ATT store.

Thanks - I think I've got the settings right. The only thing I'm not sure about is whether the time restriction actually works, whether it's safer not to restrict the times - I've got it from 7 in the morning to 10 at night. I still don't think I'm getting all the notifications I should be getting.

I've had one such message - a friend request, but nothing else. Is that all I can expect? I thought I'd get texts telling me that I had new messages or even status updates.
