Free Trial not letting me trial... - iPhone 3G

iMerlin · 07-15-2008, 07:22 PM

So I went to me.com and clicked sign up for a free trial. I entered my info and clicked continue and it takes me back to the login page, I try to login using the info I just entered and I keep getting username or password incorrect.
Am I doing something wrong? Anyone else able to try out the free trial???

It took me a couple of hours on Saturday having this problem on and off, I think a lot of people are trying to get the free trial right now.
For the record, I am not liking it, IMHO not worth $99 at least for me.

I wonder if there is a different way to get the free trial... Stinks though, Im really interested in this service. But from the looks of the posts, push isnt working to well anyway, which is pretty much the only reason I want it.

Thanks for the feedback Connie. Ive been wondering if its worth it. Im most concerned with the push calendar and contacts, but I want to share that info between 2 iPhones and 2 computers. Not sure if we can even do that.

Gmail is working just fine for me and for free, I also have other email accounts forwarded to gmail so I get them on my phone. As for the calenders and contacts, I sync on itunes, since I sync a lot to get new stuff anyways its no big deal. And I have storage and photo albums online already.
Others though absolutely love it.

Do you use Outlook for the calendar or are you on a mac? I couldnt get outlook set up on our machines for some reason. Maybe Ill give it another try.

Push will be up. It's still new and in the process of being put up. Give it a few days, and I'm sure it will be functional.

I guess I just need to get the free trial working then!! Maybe Ill give Apple a call.

Guess so. Just because of the startup issues, I'm not activating a full account just yet. I ordered a MobileMe box with my MacBook in June for the discount. However, I'll be using the trial, which is fully functional, for 60 days, and then on the last day, covert it to a full account with the code. Not only will it save me money (I won't have to renew it as soon) and it'll give time for the bugs to be worked out.
