Apple's goes Medieval on Beeper users
 

No one expects the Spanish Inquistion

Apple has banned its customers from using iMessage on their Macs after they tried to use a rival app that lets them chat to those with better phones and personalities.

The tech giant has blocked hundreds of users who downloaded Beeper, an app that claims to let them access iMessage on any device.

Beeper was kicked out of the Play Store last week after Apple accused it of breaking its rules.

But now Apple has gone a step further and punished its own loyal customers for daring to use a non-Apple solution.

According to users who spoke to Apple's tech support, the reps are telling them their computer has been flagged for spam, or for sending too many messages - even though that's not true, some said.

This has made many Beeper users think this is how Apple is kicking them off the iMessage network.
