South africa assistance

i bought iphone 5 in new york.  i live in south africa.
i cannot hear caller on the other side of the call.
no-one wants to repair my phone because its an "international" phone.
Where do i send the phone to in new york to try and get the phone working again?

You would need to send the phone to someone you know in the US to be taken in for service. Then they will need to ship the phone back to you.

  • URGENT Vodafone "vodacom" blackberry service stopped Working in CDMA phones in WHOLE South africa

    customers using CDMA devices like storm 9530,tour 9630 ....can not use blackberry service due to vodafone "vodacom" netWork issues !!!!!!
    it looks like they  have removed CDMA device identifiers for their BB service books, so any time a CDMA device attempts to re-register with the network (such as after an update), they cannot do so. and they blame it on the cdma phones ...........
    here is vodacom comment regarding the issue:
    VODAFONE WANTS US TO BUY NEW PHONES....!!!!!!
    On behalf of Vodacom, kindly accept our sincere apology for the manner in which your enquiry was dealt with and for any inconvenience caused.
    The Blackberry device you are using is a Blackberry CDMA device.
    Blackberry CDMA devices are brought to South Africa from foreign networks.
    Blackberry CDMA devices are experiencing problems with the Blackberry service due to the incompatibly of these CDMA devices with our GPRS/3G Networks.

  • IPhone 4 purchased in South Africa, being used in Toronto Canada?

    Hey everybody,
    I have an iPhone 4 that I bought in South Africa. It was an unlocked phone in South Africa and could be used with any carrier. I have moved to Toronto, Canada and the phone is locked here. I have contacted one of the network providers back home and they said it possibly could be that the frequency that Canada uses and the carriers use, are not supported with my South African iPhone 4. Is this correct or is there anything I could do (besides putting it on e bay or sending it back home) to use it here in Canada? I have been to numerous Apple stores here and in New York and they tell me the phone is locked and there is nothing they can do to assist. I don't want the phone to be used just for calling and texting, I want the phone to be able to function the way a normal iPhone should with all data and interent capabilities.
    Please help.
    I would highly appreciate some good advice.
    Thank you.

    All iphones sold in South Korea are locked to SHOW and SHOW does not offer official unlocking, so no, an iphone purchased in South Korea won't activate or work in the US.
    Indeed, iphone sold in South Korea is locked to SHOW even when you purchase it, but they changed it, SHOW now offers official unlocking according to this: http://smartblog.show.co.kr/249
    It is in Korean and I can read them and it clearly says, that they will unlock the iphone if and only if it's purchased in Korea, that it's active (in Korea they do allow temporary stop if you are on a vacation or what (but of course they can't unlock it if the line is inactive, you still keep the number and you just pay the minimal), where in U.S it's either use it or terminate it), you can still have them unlock for you even if you are still under contract. It can take up to 3 days. and you will receive an sms what to do.

  • Apple Watch in South Africa

    Hi all. This is completely of topic.
    I would like to know if ANYONE can assist me by giving me a date on which the Apple Watch will be launched in South Africa.
    I tried to look for a South African forum, but it seems like there is none, and so they redirected me to the British community forum. So I'm not sure if the dates are the same, but if anyone can please assist me with some information about the date it would be much appreciated.
    Thank you in advance.

    This is a user-to-user technical support forum and there are not Apple executives here. No one will be able to answer your question here.

  • South Africa

    Hi, I would like to find out when is Creative Cloud for Teams going to be available in South Africa, as it would be a much better solution for our company with 4 designers.

    This information is a little out of date. I just spoke to the Film and Publications Board in Johannesburg. They said that to rate an individual game, they charge R2000.00. However, in the case of cellphone games, they have made agreements with certain local suppliers to allow them to self-rate games, and with the FPB to review at intervals. This allows them not to have to pay for tiny or free games this large amount. Also, they have assisted Nokia in the set-up of the local Ovi store where games are sold for Nokia Symbian phones.
    They have explained to me that Apple has never approached them in any way to even talk about games or game ratings. So they are themselves at a loss over why Apple is not selling games here in South Africa, as many others are without any issues. This just proves that Apple is the party that is not coming to the party!
    I have submitted endless requests to Apple, and invariably their answer is (1) the developer hasn't published their game for your region (which is incorrect, as they check the "worldwide release" box or (2) They say something about iTunes Music, but we're talking about a category in the App Store.
    All this is now also true for the MAC App Store.... Which means that people won't play games on their Macs via the Mac App Store, they will have to get actual disc version instead. Or, just get a UK or US-based gift-card system going...

  • Is Siri available for my ipad 4 in South Africa

    Can anybody advise if Siri is available to download in South Africa for iPad 4. New user, grateful for any assistance or tips. Cheers.

    Siri is built-in, you cannot download Siri.
    Press the Home button a bit longer and Siri will appear, if not then Siri is not supported in your country.
    I'm afraid Siri is not supported in South Africa

    Hey there Thobani, check out ringaz.nokia.co.za/ (the official Nokia South Africa blog), or find Nokia South Africa's Twitter: @NokiaRSA
    Perhaps Nokia can release those colours with the new Symbian Anna, when that software is ready for the N8 later this month or next.
    Symbian connected me to the world, to my dreams.. Thank-you Nokia

  • Im from South Africa and i can only purchase limited games

    Im from South Africa and i cannot purchase games from the UK or any country.
    The games for South Africa are limited and *****, i like to purches simulation games like air to air combat and games like Grand Torismo
    please assist my  e mail <Edited by Host>.

    "Im from South Africa and i cannot purchase games from the UK or any country."
    That is correct.
    You can ONLY use the itunes store of your country of residence AND ONLY while you are physically located inside the borders of that country.
    There is nothing to be done.
    If the itunes store of your country does not sell them, then you cannot buy them.
    Sorry.

  • Terrible repair outcome at Menlyn IStore, Pretoria, Gauteng, South Africa

    Good Day,
    My fiancée and I are extremely disappointed and are trusting in you to please assist us in resolving this rather unfortunate situation. We sent in a set of earphones for repair at the Menlyn Shopping Mall IStore branch in South Africa, Gauteng, Pretoria, the repair has taken almost 12 months to resolve and finally with a terrible outcome...
    1.The Menlyn IStore discarded/scrapped my property without my consent.
    2.The Menlyn iStore's communication was extremely poor re the questions I required answering.
    3.The Menlyn IStore are trying to resolve their mistakes by offering my a R300 voucher!?
    My set of earphones cost me R799 so it's only fair I get reimbursed the same.
    Your assistance will be much appreciated.
    Kind Regards

    No one from Apple is here to monitor this post you've made.
    Take it up with the store that performed the service, or contact Apple directly.
