Each country is a separate business. If Apple in Australia fixes a phone purchased in another country it reduces their profit. The good news is that Apple stores will frequently replace phones purchased in other countries under warranty, but they are not required to do so. Some countries are more liberal than others. India never does, for example.
Why don't you just buy it in Australia? The price difference can't be that great.

  • If I buy an iPhone 5s in America will it work in Ireland , and will it work with the irish 4g

    Hi I am going to America next week and want to buy an iPhone and I am wondering if an iPhone 5s bought in America will work with the irish 4g network when I come home? Please help

    In general LTE will only work in the world region the device was designed for. And for it to work correctly all of the bands for your region must be supported by the device.
    So assume that a North American iPhone will not work on LTE in Ireland, and decide if it is worth the difference in cost. Remembering that the prices you see advertised in the US are subsidized prices, and an unlocked phone costs much more than that. For example, a 5S 16 GB is $649, a 32 GB is $749, and a 64 GB is $849. To this you must add sales tax, typically 8% to 10% depending on where you buy in (NYC is 8.75%).
    Then once you get it back to Ireland you must pay import duty and VAT, unless you smuggle it in. If you get caught smuggling it there will be a penalty on top of the duty and VAT, and they may even seize the phone. I have no idea what the chance of getting caught is, but if I were a customs inspector I would watch for things like that.
    And finally, once you have it safely in Ireland if it ever needs service you will have to bring it back to the US.

  • HT203167 My previous Iphone broke yesterday, and I had to buy a new one. At the same time my computer failed to dowload my music. Also I have to admit that I have not been good enoght to updated recent paid music. Can you please assit?

    Hello, I need your kind assisance, as I have not been able to get back my music. My previous iphone broke yesterday, and I have to admit that I have not been good at updating my itunes. What do I do? Thank you!

    If you are in a country where iTunes purchased music can be redownloaded, and if it's still in your country's store, then you might be able to redownload it via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your phone (and the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTiunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes). If you aren't in a country where music can be redownloaded then you can try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will grant you a redownload : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • After Sales Service of HP - leading to garbage

    I have purchased a Laptop in Feb,2013 and suddenly, it stopped working. I have louge complaint against it by more than 18 days. They are still solving it but no initiative from their side. I am continuously follow them but customer care put my call on hold for more than 30 mins and after that they cut my call. It has happned twice in a day. As we are professional and required informations from my laptop urgently, they are taking it very lightly. If they dnt want to give after sales service then specify clearly at the time of sales. Company doesnt have value to money time and customer's urgency.
    We will never suggest any one to buy hp. Just disgusting and so rude personnel.
    They are useless. Service is pathetic. Company doesnt have stock of parts also. They are taking 20 days time to convey message that parts will come. but they never say when will engineer will come and repair it.
    Secondly, They told me to call engineer directly and request him to come on sight. Wow, Now customers has to trace engineers also. Isnt it their duty to send engineers on sight and on time????
    How pathetically you guys are running your company...!!!!!!
    so big name and no parts in stock for 20 days?????!!!!!!!!! R u kidding customers??????? waiting for half an hour on customer care line???? shortage of manpower??? Chasing to engineers by customers????? company is paying ppl or not????? Is this sign of bankrupcy?????

  • Where can I buy an unlocked iphone 3gs in Canada?

    I will go to the other countries in future for business so i wonder if I can buy an unlocked iphone which can be used by inserting SIM card directly since locked iphone can't be used in the other countries? Or can I get offical tech unlocking for my iphone so that it can work in the other countries? Thanks for reply.

    Officially unlocked iPhones are not sold in Canada. You could buy one in a country where they are sold unlocked, then use it in Canada with a Fido or Rogers SIM. The countries that sell them unlocked are listed here:
    <http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1937>
    It may not be easy to buy, though, as they may require a local address, or payment with a debit or credit card issued in their country. Also, the warrantee is valid only in the country of sale. Even if you do get an unlocked iPhone, it may be difficult to get a local SIM in some countries (such as Japan or Korea). Things are easier if you know a resident of the country who is willing to buy the phone or SIM for you.
    You can use a locked Canadian iPhone in other countries but they charge high roaming fees for voice, and exorbitant roaming fees for data. Data roaming can be disabled in "Settings" > "General" > "Network".
    Fido and Rogers have some international plans that will reduce roaming fees a bit. Check with them before you leave.

  • After Sale Service

    My father purchased hp mini 210-1085TU, serial number- {Removed for privacy}, product- wk946pa#acj. We are not satisfied with the after sale service. There was a problm related to fan twice in warranty period but we overcame the problem and wanted an extended warranty as the same problem occurred twice. But to our astonishment we were denied and were told that the company is not offering any such warranty. As our warranty period expired the same problem occurred again and now the company is offering an extended warranty but only to those who are in warranty period. Had our product been in an extended warranty period we would have paid much less amout than what we need to pay now. This shows an improper planning in this organization which affects the customer badly.  I would be highly obliged if the company consider’s our problem and give us an extended warranty.

    Hi
    After sales service is dealt with a module called Customer Service.
    Once the faulty material comes back, a notification is created and either the material is repaired inhouse or is sent to a vendor for repair. A service order is created for the same referring to a PR (if sent to external vendor).
    To replace the material to the customer, a sales order is created referring to the notification and subsequent delivery. There is no billing in this case.
    Reward points if above info helps.

  • I have files that may have been created in various versions of Illustrator. We need to be able to open them, but all we have is CS6 suite. I have called and been told that "technicians at adobe" could perform a paid service to find out what the files were

    I have files that may have been created in various versions of Illustrator. We need to be able to open them, but all we have is CS6 suite. I have called and been told that "technicians at adobe" could perform a paid service to find out what the files were created in and get them to be useable in InDesign 6, but I'd need an email address that was registered to our software to give the help desk person. After finding the correct email address, different adobe help number people told me to come here to ask as there is no phone support. Can anyone get me to an adobe technician that can provide a price quote for finding out what created these files and for getting them converted? Thanks.

    Sorry, I understood you to say you had the whole CS6 suite, which includes Illustrator.
    As far as finding out what the files are, sometimes you can look at them in a text editor to figure this out. See below; the, Creator Tool line. Not every software package makes it this easy, though.

    Apple Online Store sells unlocked iPhone in the following countries: Australia, Austria, Belgium (French, Dutch), Brazil, Canada (English, French), China, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong (English, Chinese), Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland (French, German), Taiwan, Thailand, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, and United States.
    You can probably be absolutely sure any other source will be carrier locked
    It also appears that only Zain offer unlocking (of all the ME carriers )  in Jordan and Bahrain
    A ME iPhone 5  ( A1429 GSM )will not  work on US LTE when you return 

  • Which email or which phone no. i can contact with apple after-sale service center? I need to send back to amend or replace!

    my new iphone 4S was bought from las vegas only for 1 month.And it is with serious quality problem, battery did not work and has liquid came out,Now i am in china, what phone no. or which mail i can contact with apple after-sale service center? I need to send back to US to amend or replace.
    All of the guys in apple now told me that it is not worldwide guarantee,which is different from the promise when i bought,i am disappointed!!!
    I need your help to tell me how i can contact with them and where i can send back the iphone to amend.

    The only email I have ever comes across for complaints would be [email protected] (it is not mis-spelled).  I don't know if it is still of use.
    Chat is going to be your only option for getting help, and you shouldn't be surprised if they don't offer help due to your product no longer being supported (sad but true).
    If you had not mentioned that you have an email confirming you registered (double-check that) I would have told you that you probably did not purchase thru Adobe and never registered it so they have no record of you owning it.  They do not email serial numbers for disc purchases - they are provided with the discs as you were told in chat.

  • What's the deal with buying an unlocked iPhone?

    I think I'm going to buy an unlocked iPhone.
    That just means I don't have to deal with any contracts, right?
    So then do I just walk into a Verizon/AT&T/Sprint store and buy a SIM card?
    And, essentially, if I owned SIM cards from different carriers, I could switch between them, right?

    IMPORTANT FACT
    There are secretly four different types of unlocked iPhones (Apple, AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint) based on where you bought it from, depends on how it will work. Only when purchased directly from Apple will you be able to use SIM cards from the United States if you want to use a small regional carrier. Also if you got an unlocked from Radioshack or Best Buy or something, the version counts as the carrier it comes with, not Apple, so a Verizon unlocked from Best Buy is a Verizon-type unlocked iPhone.

  • Hi, i wanted to know if I can buy an unlocked iphone 5 in mac stores

    Hi, i wanted to know if I can buy an unlocked iphone 5 in mac stores

    No one was trying to be agressive, however we were trying to get you to understand the restrictions that you would have to deal with and you were not seeming to understand that.
    The purchase of iPhones outside of the country of usage is something that is done a lot, however it also generates a lot of problems, including warranty, connectivity and reduced functionality because different networks are not supported, and users attempt to use the devices on networks that are not supported. I understand the iPhones are more expensive in these countries, however local purchase is the only way to ensure compatability.
