The title of this post states Group SMS issues , though none of the issues discussed in this post seem to have have anything to do with SMS. You can send SMS to a group of contacts but they are sent individually to each contact and there are no ties…

Here is a link from Apple explaining the three types of text messages: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202724 You will see that only iMessage supports group chats on an iPhone. SMS and MMS use your carrier’s networks and servers.

There is a universal protocol called RCS that could replace SMS/MMS, but it is up to the cellular carriers to implement it. Here is an article from last year: https://www.theverge.com/2019/10/24/20931202/us-carriers-rcs-cross-carrier-messaging-init…

It’s about eco-waste. Europe has been pushing for the eventual elimination of chargers being provided with each new mobile device since 2000. The first step was to standardize with 5 volt USB-A chargers and micro-USB ports on the devices. This took …

In 2000 Europe put in place their standard for mobile phones which were: 1.) All chargers should be 5 volt USB-A, and 2.) All mobile phones should standardize with a micro-USB port. Europe was most concerned about the electronic waste of the charger…

I don’t know if we can buy one of these alternative Apple TV remotes that are provided to Swiss Fiber TV Service ’Salt’ customers? https://www.macrumors.com/2019/12/09/salt-tv-alternative-apple-tv-4k-remote-control/

My first impression was similar to the rest of the commenters, what a bunch of asshats, however after further review I find some merit on the charger side. They really messed up on the original 2009 MoU by not requiring 15 watts on the 5 volt USB sp…

Here is the real takeaway from this article: If you have an iPhone and use Apple Pay you should add all of your credit and debit cards that support it. This protects you from anyone else adding your cards onto their iPhones. There was a thread reco…

Just to clarify, this new USB-C Apple Watch charging cable should be compatible with all Thunderbolt 3 ports, USB-C ports, and USB-C chargers.

The iPhone XR sold for $749. For some reason Best Buy often listed it at $799 if you didn’t use their payment plan?

How can that be anticompetitive? Most airline affiliated cards give more miles or points for charges for their own services. So do many store affiliated cards.

This is not a dock. A dock would would normally have a 100-240v AC power input and then power your laptop and include a hub for the various power and data connections to most other devices, keyboards, or mice.

Cardholders in Canada will not get the same cashback rewards as we do in the U.S. as the cc swipe fees charged to retailers are capped in Canada. This will also be the case in Europe, Australia, and other locations with caps. Also, U.S. cardholder…

In the EU the transaction fees that a credit card company can charge a merchant are capped a .3% for a contactless payment and 1.5% for an online payment. In the USA there are no caps and therefore our merchants are generally charged between 1.5% to…

The link below is an excellent article on 5G. Once you read it, and get over the headache from reading and maybe understanding 5G, you will realize that you can pretty much ignore it and all the hype for the next three to five years. https://www.…

Ok, I am all signed up for News+ and it is actually quite good, but it does take getting used to. As the old sayings go, “Who moved my cheese?”, and “Who changed the paradigm?” Etc., First, you will need to update your software to iOS 12.2, which t…
