Does Iphone work in south africa

I am close to getting an Iphone - am going to South Africa for a holiday and want to know whether it is likely to work abroad?

if it's not cdma then it should work as well as any phone bought in south africa
unless it's sim locked to a carrier in another country in which case you need to contact the carrier it's locked
to as to how or if they will unlock it

  • PC Suite does not work in South Africa for MTN

    I am an MTN subscriber and have noticed that the latest version of PC suite has omitted MTN as an ISP.
    If you are having the same problem connecting to the internet with this new software - I suggest you uninstall the latest version and rather use a previous version until Nokia fix the bug.
    It's a pity as I really liked the improvements in the latest version.
    Phone: Nokia N80

    Hi
    Could you please be more specifically???
    Did you get any error messages or something else???
    Maybe something goes wrong during the installation procedure
    Therefore I would recommend removing this Nokia program and try to install it again.
    Additionally I would recommend checking the PC Suite FAQ on the website

  • Will an iPad work in South Africa?

    I spend most of my year in South Africa. I'd like to purchase an I-pad in the States and use it in South Africa. Will it work there? A guy at the Genius Bar in NYC told me if I get an ipad with the AT&T plan, it will work in South Africa via SIM card.

    I Just returned from s Africa. You can buy 2 gb including chip for US 24 from Vodacom at any mall.  Make free phone calls using a VPN into US and use data plan over google voice and talkatone app
    3g speed is ok in cities and along major roads
    lots of free wifi in hotels usually with some max 50 or 100 mb
    vpn from witopia - can watch us tv.

  • FaceTime and imessage not working in South Africa

    Help! I'm in South Africa for a month and my iMessage and  FaceTime aren't working. When I try to imessage someone, the message says "turn off airplane mode or use wifi to send and receive messages" but i have full wifi strength. When I try to FaceTime, it says to check the number, it might not be complete. I've tried calling the number as usual, then the international number to ca from South Africa to the US.
    I have an iPhone 5s, My email is working fine. My phone is on airplane mode but I have full wifi strength. My date and time is set automatically to Cape Town. Please someone help me figure out why this isn't working! I can't find any other solutions on the internet. Thank you!

    backup the device with itunes.
    Restore the device with itunes and set up as new.
    Sign into the facetime and imessage to activate it.
    After that is done and activation is good.
    Restore from the backup.
    Then make sure to sign into facetime and imessage again and you should be good to go

  • Apple turn by turn navigation for iphone4s don't work in south africa

    Hi i like to know if i can fix this problem Apple map in south Africa dont work

    There is no pre-installed "turn by turn" navigation app for the iPhone, at the present. If you're looking for such in the stock Maps app, that's why it doesn't work.

  • Trying to sell Verizon iPhone 4s to South Africa...

    I'm trying to sell Verizon iPhone 4s to a friend in South Africa but i want to make sure that it would work for him. What would i need to do if it is possible?

    It won't work unless you get Verizon to unlock the SIM slot first, and even if it works your friend could not get any sort of service, in or out of warranty, from Apple in SA. I would strongly suggest you sell the iPhone to someone in the US, and for your friend to buy an iPhone from one of the authorized resellers in SA.
    Regards.

  • Using iPhone 4S in South Africa

    As I said in the title, I'll be going to South Africa for 3 weeks starting later this month, and need some advice on how I should use my Verizon iPhone 4S while over in the Dark Continent. I will also be in Zimbabwe for three days, if that makes any difference. I'm going to be primarily using the phone for e-mail, texting, and checking in on Foursquare. I've done a bit of searching, and it seems like I have two options -- either to suck it up and go with an international Verizon plan, or to get Verizon to unlock it and try to use a microSIM card. I'm a little iffy on trying the microSIM card, since I don't think I can buy one over here (US) that will provide a cheap plan in SA. Anyone on here have any experience with this? Advice?
    Thanks.

    Call Verizon. Those guys work with this stuff all the time and would give you the correct information on how calling/data would be utilized

  • Droid Razr Maxx HD Data & SMS does NOT work in South Korea

    If you are going to South Korea this phone only operates as a "dumb phone" for phone calls ONLY. Data & SMS does not work at all. I contacted Global Support daily for one week with no resolution! I received conflicting information with 2 support folks telling me that the fix was to do a factory reset. So I reluctantly did this and it did not fix anything. It only wasted my time especially re-installing all my apps, etc. Then 4 support folks told me that you should never do this out of the country!! Anyway the last person i spoke to which was a network technician was very honest. He told me that I was "SOL" and he had no idea how to fix this problem. He said that he would have to get some teams together to try to fix the problem. And I was told that I would receive an email with an update. And of course I have not received any email of correspondence from Verizon. Very frustrating...

    I found a solution. Okay so with the most recent update Verizon made the switch from sending text messages over their 1x network and moved them to their LTE (and possibly 3g) network, hence the reason they are sending so much faster. Today I was in a classroom that is underground and has terrible reception and noticed that I was getting delivery reports again but that my texts were sending slower, like they used to. I dug around in the phones programing menu and found a new option call "MO SMS over IMS" and it was enabled. Disabling it switches your texts back onto the old 1x network. So if you choose to make the switch, your delivery reports will come back but sending will go back to being a little slower. To get to this menu open up your dialer and type in ##7764726. Next hit send and when prompted with a password type in 000000 and hit verify. Scroll down to SMS/MMS settings and select it. Next scroll to the bottom, select "MO SMS over IMS", and disable it. Now your good delivery reports back!

  • Does iPhone work with the Apple Hi-Fi speakers

    Thinking of buy the Apple Hi-Fi speakers. Does it work with the iPhone?

    Neil is correct, it does work, a previous version of the firmware had some problems and could trigger the warning message you refer to, suggesting airplane mode. In fact, airplane mode is a good idea because the GSM interference will be really loud on the HiFi.
    The HiFi has been discontinued, have you been able to find one?

  • Why does facetime doesn´t work in South Africa?, why does facetime doesn´t work in South Africa?

    I have an iphone5 which works perfectly in Europe. I´m in Southafrica for a few weeks and facetime doesn´t even appear anymore when trying to use it via "contacts"
    Could anybody help me?
    thnx

    we have stores sell apple products some of them sell with faetime at a high rate,
    and some other sell apple products without facetime at a normal price.
    finaly we need apple stores in Saudi Arabia to prevent this fraud.
    thank you
    what you're saying here is that some people parallel import apple products around the normal channels and they are from other countries so they havent got facetime blocked
    and others normally import apple products and they are blocked
    and then you go on believing that if apple had a store in saudi things would be better rest asured that if they did they would sell products with facetime blocked
