Buy a 3G iPad in USA and use it in France.

Hello,
I would like to know if I buy a 3G iPad (an AT&T model) in a US Apple Store, could I use it in France ?
The AT&T iPad is it unlocked or should I unlock it before coming back to France ?
Actually, I am French and I live in France. Thanks to the change rate, it is less expensive to buy a iPad abroad, especially in the US.
Thanks in advance for your answers
Joachim B.

So, the iPad is sim-free, isn't it ?
I have no idea what you mean by this. The GSM iPad is not locked to a telecom, unlike the Verizon iPad which can only function with Verizon or its worlwide roaming partners.
Will ALL the features of the device be operational?
All of the features are operational if Apple has the resources to serve the feature in the country where you wish to use it, and as long as a particular country has not blocked certain features. Some Middle Eastern countries have blocked the use of FaceTime in their territory. iPads bought in those countries do not have the FT app installed on them. There are no restrictions on the services of iPads operated in the USA or on the installed apps on US iPads.

    can I buy an unlocked iphone5s in USA and use it in Spain?

    If you buy an UNLOCKED iPhone directly from an Apple Store or apple.com you can use it in India, however, it will not work on LTE, only on GSM and 3G. And the warranty will not be honored in India.

    I've never been to Denmark but as far as I know, wifi is rather ubiquitous.
    You will need a plug adapter. Your power brick is rated for world wide power so you just need to make the plugs fit.

  • Is it possible to buy an iPhone in the USA and use a brazilian chip?

    Hi guys,
    I want to know if I buy an iPhone in the USA I can just put the brazilian chip (a chip from a brazilian telecommunications company) and it will work. Could somebody help me, please?
    Thanks.
    P.s.: Hope you understand, my english is not the best one hahaha.

    No. All iPhones sold in the US are carrier-locked to AT&T and cannot be used with other carriers' SIM cards.

  • Can I buy an iphone in the USA and use it in the UK with an o2 sim card?

    I have just been re-issued an o2 pay monthly sim card as my phone was stolen. I'm going to NYC in September and was thinking of getting a iPhone in an apple store there. Will I be able to bring it home and use it in England with my o2 sim card? Or will I need to get it unlocked? Thank you

    Thank you so much. This makes a lot of my sense. As my phone was stolen too, it probably makes sense to buy it in the UK and keep the reciept as i'm claiming on insurance ... I thought I might save money by getting it in the US, but actually you're right, after all the hassle and then the problems afterwards, probably best just to stick to the home country! Thank you.

  • CAN i by a iphone in the USA and use it at France

    Hi
    I plan to buy an iphone 5c in the USA, but can i use it in France and have also the LTE.
    Thank you very much.

    If you want to use it in France and your tied to an American carrier you can still use it but it will cost a lot!! But I think what you mean is can you use it of you buy it out of an apple store the answer is yes of you buy an iPhone out of a apple store any where in the world it's unlocked so you can use it anywhere buy just putting in a different sim for a network in the county you want to use it in, the iPhone 5 up has the capability of LTE but it depends on your carrier if they roll it out if they do it will work. I hope this works:)

  • Can I buy an iphone 6 in USA and use it in Canada permanently with my carrier (Fido)?

    The USA Apple website says for no contract, and unlocked is from T-mobile. Will it work in Canada with Fido (uses sim card)? Has anyone tried doing this? The states is a lot cheaper in Canada for the Iphone 6. What will happen to the warranty/support?

    At today's currency exchange rate the US phone ends up costing more and the US warranty is not valid in Canada so I don't see the advantage of buying state side even if you do have US currency. As for TMobile - Fido compatibility I have no idea.

  • Can I buy an iphone 6 in USA and use it in England?

    HI,
    i am looking at buying an iphone 6 128gb but the delivery time in the UK is 4 weeks. I have friends travelling back from New York next week, if they bought me one there, would I be able to use it hassle free in the UK?

    LTE/4G will not work. With the current demand, do not expect that your friends
    will be able to walk into an Apple store and purchase one. On-line shipping times
    are now into October for US orders. They may get lucky, but doubt it. Keep your
    UK order as it will have an EU warranty and all features will work with your wireless
    provider.

  • Buying ipad from usa to use in australia

    buying ipad from usa and using in australia.can you do it and what do you need for it to work.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Yes you can do it, and if you search, upper right corner this has been discussed recently.
    The iPad is compatible in both countries...charger handles 100-240 volts at 50-60 Hertz...just need the proper plug piece or converter. That should be easy enough, the plug piece slides off horizontally and the proper one for the country slides on...same piece for all iDevice chargers.
    Service plans you need to check into.

  • Can i buy iphone 4s unlocked in your appstor in usa and use in gsm net in russia?

    can i buy iphone 4s unlocked in your appstore in usa and use in gsm net in russia?

    Yes, if you go to an Apple store in the US physically, then you can purchase an unlocked iPhone 4s and is should work in Russia, but you can't do it online - there is no international delivery available online and you need a US credit card and shipping address to be able to do that, but if you go there in person, you can certainly purchase and unlocked iPhone 4s. 

  • Buy an Iphone in Canada unlock and use it in USA

    Hi guys,
    Do you think that this idea is logical. Buy an unlock Iphone in Canada and use it in USA.
    I am just curious
    Oscar

    If officially unlocked, yes. Bear in mind, if you purchase the phone in Saudi Arabia, your warranty/support will only be valid there, & you won't have FaceTime. FaceTime is banned, by law, on all iPhones sold in Sausi Arabia, & there's no way to add it back.

    Thanks KiltedTim.
    I know a person who usedit for couple of months and now he would like to sell it.
    I want to know if anyone can use it in India. When I say  "use" that means download apps and purchase music from the store.
    I am asking this because that Iphone ll be registered in USA.

  • I want to buy a iphone in usa and use it in india its possible

    I want to buy an iphone in usa and use it in india its possible. Because in india there is no authorized unlocked carrier.

    Hello and welcome to discussions. First of all, for the future, please use the subject-field for its intended purpose and put the question into the message body.
    Second, as far as I am aware no unlocked iPhones are sold in the US, which means you should bring one from Spain if they sell them there. But I guess someone from the US will be able to clarify this.
