Fewer prepaid alerts after iPhone 1.0.2 update?

by Erica Sadun Aug 22nd 2007 at 3:30PM

Now that the iPhone 1.0.2 update is out and growing its installed base, do any of you prepaid users notice a difference in the number of "You Last Transaction Cost $0.00" messages? Maybe it's just me but I'm getting the sense they've been cut back significantly. If you have a prepaid account, let me know whether this latest update has affected your useless message count.

Update: Looks like this is a server-side fix according to several readers.

How has 1.0.2 affected your alerts?
No change as far as I can tell
Too early to tell
Definitely cut down on messages

I'm using pay as you go plan, and I'm still seeing the annoying 0.00 cost alert messages.
Do you know this fix only apply to pick your plan?

Is there anything we can do about this?

This was not caused by the 1.0.2 update... AT&T this morning issued a network update that removes balance notifications when no money is used.

Just bad timing... Apple released a firmware yesterday, AT&T released a network update this morning.

Mike (#7) - nope, rotating under 1.0.1 does the same thing - fades the two screens into each other.

If I remember correctly....before this update, when using the iPod function - rotating the iPhone from vertical to horizontal caused the screen image to actually rotate from playlist or album cover (vertical) to coverflow (horizontal.) Now when rotating the iPhone the two different screens fade into each other. Very cool. Now if they can just make it so I can surf the web without the music just stopping.

not to change the subject, but did anyone else just get a text from AT&T saying that itemized billing was being removed? No more 30 page bills!

Actually, someone on Apple's iPhone support forum and AT&T's forums said that starting today the $0.00 alerts would be no more. Now you only get alerts when your balance is actually affected. So I'm guessing this counts for free nights and weekends calls as well. I definitely haven't had a single $0.00 alert today while on EDGE.

I haven't installed the update yet and can confirm that I have a lot less confirmations now. Actually haven't gotten any today :). I used to get them after ever data session terminated. This rocks!

It wasn't the 1.02 Update that got rid of these messages. It was on the AT&T Service Side.. See their Support Forums at www.attwireless.com. It went into effect today. August 22nd. I installed the update yesterday and still got those stupid messages all the way until I woke up this morning. So it was just a fix on AT&T's service Side. Hope this helps clarify this.
