Problems with iPhone IOS6 update?

I checked my phone a few days ago and it said that I had to update my phone and I've got the iPhone 3gs, I updated my phone and now I can't get any sound out of headphones and so on, like literally any headphone that I plug into my phone it doesn't work at all. Imessage doesn't work either so I'm not too sure what to do, any suggestions on what the problem could be?

Is there a Dubai (UAE) customs duty charge on parcels sent for personal gift?

I'm sending a parcel to Dubai for a loved one's birthday. I'll be sending this parcel from Australia and it will contain the following:
- Silver Bracelet
- Stuffed Toy animal
- iPhone 4
- iPhone 4 cases

The total value of the contents of the parcel is 950 AUD, this of course will be insured.

I was just wondering if the person receiving the parcel in Dubai will be required to pay a customs duty fee on arrival. I'm worried, because it'll be a little sad and shameful on my part if this person has to part with money just to receive the gift I sent them.

I would like to have any feedback from anyone who has experienced sending parcels to Dubai as well as the laws and limitations.

Any input would be appreciated.

Can a Sprint iPhone4 be Flashed to Metro PCS?

I have an iPhone 4 that my sister gave me it was with Sprint, she switched to At&t and got another phone. I do not want to sign up with Sprint as from what I have read on the internet this does not have a SIMS card so I can't use it on Stright talk, so my next best thing would be Metro PCS. Anyone ever had this done before? And if so what do they charge?

Is 2gb of data on the iPhone 5 enough? I have Verizon?

Well, I just got a iPhone 5 and I'm a bit nervous of my Internet usage. At home, I have Wi-Fi and that's where I would be downloading apps, texting, email, YouTube, and web. Sometimes I text about of the house on IMessage since I don't have a texting plan. I don't have a Facebook, tumblr, twitter, etc. Any of those things. At school I have Internet on my iPod so i would be using the Internet on my iPod. Do you think I will go over?
