- grinich 17y agoBut they would have better infrastructure to deal with it than any other cell provider. (iTunes, retail stores, etc.)
- lpgauth 17y agoI'm pretty sure AT&T could do some packet filtering and block those bad sms.
- InkweaverReview 17y agoI'm sure AT&T would love that. Virus protection, now from AT&T, only $20 more per month to protect your iPhone. I don't think I'd trust them to keep up with all the new threats.

- maw 17y agoAT&T isn't the only carrier with iPhones, though. I can't imagine Telcel bothering, for example.
- jonknee 17y agoExcept that competing smartphones (BlackBerry, Android, Pre, etc) almost all do OTA updates which is more reliable and doesn't require the user to keep up to date on their computer.
- drusenko 17y agoDo you know for sure that the iPhone doesn't support OTA updates, or are you just guessing based on the fact that Apple hasn't done one yet?
