This is my point. I take responsibility for not waking up when I was supposed to but from different items listed what is a item that you can fully relay on? I agree on setting multiple alarms in my case but do we have to or how about the testimonial listed above, I can't imagine going all my life having to set 2 or more alarms for everything.


I haven't seen any official report from Apple, but if you follow the thread link below you can see most people report 4.2.1

Excellent link. at $2 a call is well worth it.


If you have a landline then there's a chance that your telephone exchange has an automatic wake-up call service. You just dial something like * 55*HHMM# and it calls you back at HH:MM.


Why not use twilio and create an alarm at fraction of the cost? I've been meaning to try them out, maybe i`ll write the script when I get some time.


There are ten times as many issues that can go wrong with twillio compared to your iphone alarm clock.


I hear you, ironically my "backup" was my wife's iPhone and mine is charging at night before trips so that it doesn't run out of juice.


excellent point! I was thinking of what you mentioned this morning.

How I was not able to see this issue before in the social networks?

I think part of it was my fault for not checking twitter during the Holidays and unless you search for "Is my IPhone going to fail in 2011" I don't think you were able to know about this issue. Also most blog posts/twitter content has been reported today but not a week or so ago.

But following your point, do you think now we have to become dependent on Twitter and Blog posts to know if our software/hardware is going to function properly the next day? Wouldn't that be counter productive?


I wouldn't be dependent on an iPhone to wake up in the morning.


Thanks for the reference, I wasn't aware some one had already already reported the issue.


Still interesting to here how it affected someone - good blog btw. We have all come to rely on our phones these days - when they do fail us it leaves you feeling pretty lost!


Spend more time on your dream than reading Hacker news :)
