Can I change carrier? There's no Verizon in my country

My brother bought me an ipad 2 from the US. The carrier is Verizon.
Unfortunately he forgot there's no Verizon in my country. Other EVDO carrier do available though.
So, can I change the carrier from Verizon to my local Cell Provider?

Verizon is CDMA.  That may be an issue as there are far more carriers who are GSM, (Sim Cards).  You may be out of luck using the 3G aspect of your iPad2.  Of course you'll be able to use Wifi wherever there is access to a Wifi signal.  What I don't know and maybe someone else can answer is if a carrier who is CDMA can be used on your iPad?

    In addition to what stedman said, you will only
    be able to use it with providers that us GSM
    for their service and cannot be used on CDMA
    networks, i.e. an AT&T phone cannot be used
    on Verizon or Sprint.

    I bought my iPhone in Germany, how can I change carriers to be able to use it in the US?

    Ask the carrier it's locked to if they'll unlock it. If they won't, sell it.

    If the iPhone came from the US, then that is the only place where Apple will service it. If you can't take it there yourself, you would need to send the iPhone to someone you know in the US who could get it serviced and then send it back to you.
    Your only other option will be to find some unauthorized cellphone repair shop to attempt a repair, after which all further support from Apple, in the US or anywhere else, will no longer be available to you.

    How can I change the Apple Store language and keep the country of residence?

    Users do not have control over the language of the Mac App Store or iTunes stores for a particular country or region. It is what it is and can't be changed.

  • HT204053 how can I change me billing address and account to another country

    how can I change my billing address and my account

    What do you mean by 'cannot manage to change my billing address' ? What happens when you try to update your details, and what country are you in ? You need to be in a country to use its store.

  • How can i change the cracked screen of iphone6 in a country which has no apple store?

    I've contacted the apple service provider by the site you gave me in your reply.
    But now the problem is that they don't offer any repair services for the screen cracked iphone6, they just provide the service of replace a new device with extra 1300+ AED I need to pay because I don't have the APPLECARE SERVICE.
    I thought the price is not very reasonable in consideration of I just payed 2599 AED to buy it.
    Is there any way to buy the APPLECARE SERVICE right now?
    You're being offered a replacement device for half the price of the original, even though it was totally your fault, and no one else's, that it got damaged... and you think this is unfair?
    Most companies don't even offer that.  If you have a non-functioning device that isn't covered under some form of warranty or protection plan, you normal buy a mother device, at full price.
    You're getting a 50% discount.  What, exactly, is unreasonable about this?

  • All my hard drives (internal and external) have a small lock in the lower left corner of the icon and I don't have permissions to access. Permissions are set to 'Custom' in the get info window and I can't change them.

    All my hard drives (internal and external) have a small lock in the lower left corner of the icon and I don't have permissions to access. I have 3 user accounts set up and I cannot access any of them.   Permissions are set to 'Custom' in the get info window and I can't change them. Originally I had Snow Leopard installed on one hard drive and 10.5.8 installed on another.   I started to have some problems accessing data between them and so I tried changing the permissions on ONE hard drive partition.   The next thing I know, all my drives are locked (except the ones with the systems on them), the small lock appeared in the lower left corner of the drive icons and I don't have permissions to access any of them.   In the get info window, permissions are set to 'Custom' and I can't change them.

    There is suddenly a lock icon on my external backup drive!

  • How can I change my apple registry to Canadian from US?

    I received my ipod while in the US and set it up there so I could use it for the months before I went home to Canada.
    But now at home I cannot access any Canadian apps ( like my bank) because it's a 'US' ipod.
    How can I change the apple registry to reflect my actual country?

    No reason to restore yoou iPod. Just:
    - Edit you Apple ID/iTunes account account to associate it with Canada. Make sure the payment method is associated with Canada. the usually means the billing address for credit cards and when iTunes gift cards were purchased. You can only used gift cards in the country's stores in when they were purchased (you can use a USA card in the Canadian iTunes/App Store).
    - If you have an outstanding balance from a USA gift card you have to get rid of it before you can purchase  items

  • How do I change my credit card billing address to another country? The iTunes billing address edit only offers an option for a different State, but my credit card billing address is now New Zealand.

    I recently moved out of the US to another country and changed my billing address at my credit card company to my new country.  Now iTunes won't let me edit my credit card billing information because the "edit" option on the billing address only lets you change states, not countries.  There is a non-spendable balance on my iTunes account because it's an odd amount, and iTunes won't let me change my iTunes store to my new country as long as there is a balance showing in my US iTunes store account.  So I'm stuck.  I can't spend my balance in my account. I can't change the balance to a spendable amount because iTunes no longer accepts my credit card because my credit card's new zip code billing address doesn't match my iTunes account.  I can't change my iTunes account to my new country as long as there is a balance in my US iTunes store.  How can I change my iTunes account information to my new country under these circumstances?

    I am stuck with a similar problem. I moved from Ireland to the UK but for some reason, iTunes would not let me change the country in my payment information, it remains Ireland. I do not have any credit to spend and I still cannot change it. I even set up a new iTunes account and the country still remains uncangable. Hence, I cannot add the details of my UK card as iTunes believes it is set in Ireland. Have you managed to solve your problem?

  • TS1398 After leaving a wi-fi connection my iphone will not automatically connect to the internet via the 3G network unless I turn it off and then on again. Is there a setting that can be changed to overcome this issue?

    After leaving a wi-fi connection my iphone will not automatically connect to the internet using a mobile 3G network unless I turn my phone off and then back on again. Is there a setting that can be changed to overcome this?

    Then I'm at a loss. Mine has switched automatically from the start, favoring Wi-Fi, any of its registered networks, whenever available. Only thing I can think of is trying a Force Restart and see if that clears things up: hold down Home and Sleep till the screen goes black and a white Apple logo pops up. Release and allow it to restart.
    May be similar, when I got the i5 about 16 months ago, the local carrier was starting to roll out 4G service. The phone would regularly lose all carrier connection, voice and data. Haphazardly would reconnect when it felt like it afterwards. Initially did the Off/On dance to speed things up, but discovered that using Airplane Mode would do the same without the lengthier power cycle. After awhile, the carrier 'fessed they were having capacity issues and later the problem went away. So yours too may also be a carrier issue.
