Buying ipad in us and using in germany

Hello,
maybe someone can answer this question for me. I would like to buy my mother, who lives in Germany, an iPad WiFi 3G. Will she be able to use the 3G in Germany?
Thanks!
Upps, just found my answer!

Apple really needs to figure out if they are producing hardware, software and operating systems or providing cell and data service. 
I am a die hard apple user and am seriously considering other options as everything apple seems to be doing lately is restricting it's users. 
I'm tired of "NO".
The lack of a sim slot in the iPad 2 may be the final straw. 
What do you do when traveling abroad? Pay ATT $1 a minute for roaming data?
They need to offer their iOS to other manufacturers and make their hardware open to access cell/data from any carrier. 
I fear if they don't take those steps soon, they will lose me and millions of other users to android.

  • 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.

  • When legally ipad2 with 3G would be available in Thailand?  Can I buy it from US and use it with 3G operator in Thailand?

    When legally ipad2 with 3G would be available in Thailand?  Can I buy it from US and use it with 3G operator in Thailand?

    The iPad 2 is available in Thailand now, though I don't know whether you can find one it stock. The iPad 2 continues to be in short supply everywhere in the world. A US iPad with GSM 3G should be able to work with any carrier worldwide that offers GSM service and a suitable data plan. You'll need to be sure you purchase the AT&T version of the iPad if you purchase in the US, NOT the Verizon version which uses a different cell technology.
    This has been asked and answered in these forums multiple times already, by the way. A quick search or browse of the forums and you would not have had to wait for a response.

  • Can I buy Photoshop Elements 13 and use it on my home computer and my Surface Pro 3?

    Can I buy Photoshop Elements 13 and use it on my home computer and my Surface Pro 3?
    Also why is there no customer service phone number associated with Adobe Photoshop? It makes me hesitant to purchase from a company that refuses to offer support. I guess I'm asking a question on a forum and the company directed me to.??

    Yes, you're permitted to activate the software on a maximum of two computers at the same time.

  • Can I buy just 1 Iphone and use it in 2 locations: USA and Brazill.Just changing the chips as once in Brazil i have and account already and here I will be under my husband's phone account

    Can I buy just 1 Iphone and use it in 2 locations: USA and Brazill.
    While in USA using the account here under my husband’s phone account (our home is here)
    HOWEVER, I work in Brazil and there I have a phone account on my name.
    Can I use the same phone (where all my information is stored) and just change the chip of phone company?
    Seems pretty silly on the first moment on reading the questions, BUT for me, it means a lot as I could have just one phone, as already have to carry so many other electronic stuffs!
    Look fwd your advise

    Depends on where you buy.
    ALL U.S. iphones are carrier locked and CANNOT be unlocked.  If you buy an iphone in the U.S., then you will not be able to put a different SIM
    Some countries sell unlocked iphones.  These can be used with other SIM cards.

  • Can I buy an iPad from America and use it in Australia?

    Can I buy an American iPad with cellular (3g/4g) and use it in Australia using an Australian sim card?
    Thanks.

    You have to buy an unlocked iPhone from Apple Store.
    Note: There is no warranty outside of US. iPhone 5 unlocked is not available at the moment.

  • Buy iPad in Us will work in Germany??

    My host daughter wants to buy an iPad in Minnesota and then take it back to Germany with her. 
    Will this work out ok?
    Will there be issues?
    Does anyone know anyone who was successful doing this and would recommend it?

    Will it work - sure.
    The different power for charging (220v) is automatically taken care of.
    HOWEVER.....
    1. The warranties are different. One should check to be sure there is coverage in Germany for a US-purchased device.
    2. If it is used on a wireless phone network, one should be sure it would connect to the German one(s).
    3. Wi-Fi is wi-fi, but I have never used a wireless device outside the States.
    If she is going to be in Germany for an extended period of time, I would probably suggest buying one there.

  • Can I set up ipad in the and use in uk (uk bought)

    I bought my girlfriend an iPad mini for her 18th birthday in the uk, we are in vagas, America for when she will open the gift. Can she set it up in the US and still be able to then take it home to the uk and use it? Thanks

    Yes, but she should configure it with her UK information, Apple ID, iTunes account, email, etc. That's all done over the Internet so she only needs a wireless connection to do it. It's all prompted for at the setup when she first turns it on. Read the instructions first.

  • My jetpack broke and is out of warranty. Can I buy a new jetpack and use my sim from the old one?

    My jetpack fell down a set of concrete stairs and didn't survive the fall. Can I just buy a new jetpack and insert the sim and be good to go?

    Yes you may.
    However you will want to make sure the replacement Jetpack has a compatible SIM card.  The older Jetpacks used a larger full sized SIM where some of the newer Jetpacks are using a micro SIM.  As long as the SIMs are compatible then you should be good to go.
    One last thing, make sure you go out to your VZW account and update your device info with the new model when you are done.  This will help avoid confusion if you want to call in for support later on.

  • I want to buy a new iphone and use it like an ipod, what do I need to do to make it work?

    Okay, I know people say I should just buy an iPod instead... but I want better quality. If I buy the iPhone 5s unlocked, what sim card do I need to get to get just to activate the new device, and not pay a monthly fee. I already have a phone and I have wifi... so I just want to use the iPhone with wifi. Some say you should use an old/ deactivated sim card to activate it, but I'm not sure that will work. When I look on ebay to purchase one, they say not for new or fisrt time activations. What should I do???

    virgin mobile sells the iphone 5s and because its month to month just dont put the sim card in the phone and it wont ever be activated you can use it like a regular iphod touch, my little brother does this but we bought a ipod 4th generation for 100 dollars took the sim card out and use it as a ipod for him

  • Can I buy iPhone in China and use it on Russia?

     

    If it is unlocked and uses the same protocol (GSM or CDMA) and
    frequencies as the Russian carrier you intend to use.
    Warranty is not international - iPhone will have to be returned
    to China for service or replacement. Buy one locally from an
    authorized source to avoid future problems.

  • Will I be able to purchase a 3G Ipad in Canada and use it in Ecuador

    I am looking to purchase a 3G iPad for use in Ecuador, I live in Canada and would purchase it in Canada.  When I was in Ecuador last time my iPhone was useless, it would not connect to any WiFi or 3G networks, I am sure it would have if it had of been unlocked and a Sim card from Ecuador inserted.  Would the iPad be the same? Will the iPad have access to local WiFi networks in Ecuador.

    I have the same issue as I am from Canada and I am currently in Ecuador. I bought the iPad Model A1396 and I was looking for a carrier that can provide me with internet. But there are mostly two providers Movistar and Claro (Porta) but do they offer the micro-sim. I know they have USB keys for internet connection, but they are regular SIM cards..what if they don't offer the micro-sim??

  • Buy Iphone in USA and use it in Europe

    Hello,
    I would like to know if I buy an Iphone in USA, If we can use it in Europe, with another carrier and network?
    I will soon go to the states and I would like to make a gift to my sister.
    Thanks in advance for your answers :-)

    So the US Apple store appears to operate differently from the UK store (where I've just bought 2 new iPhones unlocked and taken SIM only contracts with 2 different service providers). I'm sorry if I've caused any confusion.
    To be clear, you need to find somewhere you can get an unlocked phone to be able to bring it back to Europe and use it.
