In Dallas there was a young teenager recently killed at a DART station for his iPhone.  There seems to be more stories each day of such incidents. Great article with good advice.

Anyone without a lock code on their iPhone is a fool.  Hey, Apple looks the other way and benefits by doing so.   So true.

How silly that you would expect them to give up their primary funding source.  It's kind of amazing that they allow you to RIP CDs into a private library and not simply buy the music anew. I guess that was something held over from the onset of the iPod, and presumed necessary to get consumer buy-in. I tunes is the glue that binds Apple to your banking.

]]> Comment on Dial Oops for Area Codes by Steve Carr http://www.talkingpointz.com/dial-oops-for-area-codes#comment-2591 Steve Carr Wed, 02 May 2012 19:05:00 +0000 http://www.talkingpointz.com/?p=4301#comment-2591 Great article, I already knew most, but not the bits about adding the digits together. As a user of the PSTN, whenever I get an annoucement "You do not have to dial and one or the area code to reach this number....reorder tone" I always swear under my breath and want to slam the phone down ! If the switch already knows that then it knows how to complete my call !!! I'm also the chief architect of an enterprise cloud voip product, and this is also a major p-in-the-a. If you move a company to the cloud, and use a central SIP Trunk, then its hard to duplicate the user experience, since likely the SIP Trunk needs GNF dialing - some users might be confused that they have to dial all codes as long distance. In addition, our solution allows the possibility of having local breakout gateways at the customer prem, connected via PRI. Then its really an issue to configure in the cloud based central shared IP-PBX for each customer, which calls have to be dialed as 7 digits, 10 digits or 11 digits  Great article, I already knew most, but not the bits about adding the digits together.
