Buying iphone 3gs from at&t store or apple store?

Just wanted to know if there are any advantages in buying the iphone from an apple store than an at&t store.

AT&T website if your credit isn't up to par. Apple.com approved my friend but they tried to put him on some bloated over priced plan that differed from what the website originally said before he entered his social security number. AT&T site gave him the same rate as everyone else, the advertised rates.

  • How i can buy iphone 3gs from USA or Germany

    Hi
    I'm from Egypt and i want to buy iphone 3gs from USA or Germany not from Egypt, Is there anyway to buy from USA or Germany with the same price of USA or Germany not Egypt ?
    And is there away you can send it to me to Egypt ?
    Thanks in advance...:)

    The lower/advertised price for the iPhone in the U.S. is AT&T's subsidized or discounted price for the iPhone, which requires signing a two year contract with AT&T for the subsidy or discount that AT&T pays Apple on a subscriber's behalf.
    The iPhone is sold in the U.S. as carrier locked with AT&T only. None of the iPhone functions work until the iPhone is activated with AT&T with the exception of being able to make an emergency 911 call in the U.S. Apple nor AT&T in the U.S. will ship an iPhone to anyone outside of the U.S. AT&T also sells the iPhone in the U.S. at a no-contract/no-commitment or at the full retail sales price which is much more expensive, but the iPhone remains carrier locked with AT&T. A verifiable billing address in the U.S. is required along with a credit check by AT&T which is no different that what is required with a two year contract. The no-contract or no-commitment for the iPhone in the U.S. is billed the same as a subscriber with a two year contact but since there is no contract it is on a month to month basis which can be cancelled at any time without a penalty.
    The iPhone is sold in Germany as carrier locked with T-Mobile I believe. Not sure of the iPhone is also sold as officially unlocked in Germany. If so, Apple's support and warranty for the iPhone is honored in the country where the iPhone was sold officially by Apple only. If you are able to purchase the iPhone in Germany as officially unlocked for use with a carrier in Egypt, if a problem develops with the iPhone that requires an exchange under warranty, you would have to return to Germany for an exchange under warranty.
    The sales price for the iPhone in each country is determined by the official carrier for the iPhone in each country.

  • HELLO I WOULD LIKE TO BUY IPHONE 5 FROM THE OFFICIAL SITE OF APPLE BECAUSE IS CHEAPER FROM MY COUNTRY GREECE. MY QUESTION IS CAN SUPPORT THE GREEK MENU OR LANGUAGE? THANKS

    HELLO I WOULD LIKE TO BUY IPHONE 5 FROM THE OFFICIAL SITE OF APPLE BECAUSE IS CHEAPER FROM MY COUNTRY GREECE. MY QUESTION IS CAN SUPPORT THE GREEK MENU OR LANGUAGE? THANKS

    To find out what languages are supported, just read for yourself the tech specs:
    http://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html
    To find out if you can buy something you have to contact the store yourself.  The US Apple store does not sell to other countries.

  • Can I buy Iphone 5 from US Apple Store to Greece?

    The Iphone 5 is too expensive in Greece.
    Can I buy Iphone 5 from US Apple store and send it to Greece ????
    Can I use a US Iphone 5 to Greece ??

    You will have to pay local sales tax in the US.. New york sales taxes are, I believe, nearly 9%. Then, assuming you are being legal, you will be paying your local VAT and import duties, and the carriers fee.
    You end that with very little difference in price. And you end up with no warranty. And an incompatible 4G chipset it you want to receive 4G.

  • Still possible to buy iPhone 3gs at full retail price?

    Just wondering, now that the 4 is out, is it still possible to go to one of the apple stores in Boston (travelling there soon) and buy iPhone 3gs 16gb at full retail price?
    Is it also possible to buy the iphone 4 at full retail and what are the prices for either of these phones?
    Because my mate once bought it in Best Buy and now (almost 3 years later I think) he could not buy it (at full retail price).
    Thanks in advance.

    Only if there's stock left. The current 3GS is 8GB only. But apart from that I don't see why not.

  • I purchase my iphone 3gs from online deal, can I get the upgraded one

    Hi,
    I purchase my iphone 3gs from snapdeal portal, my query is can I get the upgrade of the same to iphone 4?
    I am having invoice of purchase iphone 3gs, Please let me know if I can directly go to apple gallery to get the upgraded one?
    Thanks
    Rakesh

    He has just given you your answer - 'Snapdeal is not an authorised Apple seller' so no you can't.
    Also, how on earth do you expect him to help you get an upgrade?  This is a user forum.
    The only way that you can upgrade is through your phone company/carrier and that is if you are elegible and you will have to pay.
    If you don't have a contract with carrier and you want an iPhone 5, then you'll have to go out and buy one like everyone else.

  • I try to buy a magazine from I tune store they kept the money but i couldnt download the magazin. Can you help me please

    I try to buy a magazine from I tune store they kept the money but i couldnt download the magazin. Can you help me please

    Hello nasiatoska,
    It sounds like you were charged for a magazine, but it was never downloaded to your iPhone.  I found an article that has some steps to assist with this:
    Newsstand-compatible apps automatically move to Newsstand. Tap and hold apps to arrange them in Newsstand.
    Note: You cannot drag other publications into Newsstand.
    If a subscription app or publication does not appear in Newsstand, verify that the app supports the Newsstand feature.
    Newsstand updates subscriptions only when using a Wi-Fi connection. If you aren't seeing the latest issue:
    Verify that you are connected to a Wi-Fi network.
    Check Settings > Store to verify that automatic download is enabled for that publication.
    You can find the full article here:
    iOS: Using Newsstand

    If you are still not able to access the magazine after following those steps, you may want to report a problem with the magazine purchase using the steps in this article:
    How to report an issue with your iTunes Store, App Store, Mac App Store, or iBookstore purchase

  • How to buy Iphone 3gs in Belarus.

    Hello,
    I am from Belarus and I would like to buy iphone 3gs.
    I did not find my country at 'Locating iPhone wireless carriers' (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1937).
    Can anybody help?
    Thanks,
    Valery.

    Sorry but no. US iPhones are locked to AT&T; no unlocked iPhones are available.
    There are countries in which unlocked iPhones are sold. But you need to be aware that any such iPhone will not be supported in Belarus. You would not get any help from Apple in using the iPhone with any Belarus carrier, and if the iPhone had a technical fault you would need to ship the iPhone to someone back in the country of purchase for servicing. Apple would not accept a direct shipment from Belarus and would not ship the repaired iPhone back to Belarus, so you would have to know someone in the country of purchase who could handle the shipment both ways for you.
    So think very hard before you purchase an iPhone from another country. If any problems arise you will in essence be on your own to solve the problem.

  • Iphone 3Gs from Australia

    Hi all, this maybe a stupid question but my really close mate is heading to America to pursue a phd. We're planning to get him an Iphone 3GS from here, Sydney Australia. We can get them unlocked from the apple store. My concern is can he, when in america use it?
    Will an unlocked phone from a country outside the USA work in the USA with a local American carrier, i.e. TMobile, AT&T?
    Please Advice. Thank you.

    If the iPhone is purchased as officially unlocked, it should work with any carrier's SIM card, but support and warranty coverage is honored in the country where the iPhone was sold officially by Apple only. If a problem develops with your mate's iPhone that is purchased in Australia while he is in the U.S. that requires an exchange under warranty, he must return to Australia with the iPhone or return the iPhone to Australia for an exchange under warranty.
    Since the iPhone is sold in the U.S. as carrier locked with AT&T only, I don't believe visual voicemail access is supported or provided by T-Mobile. Overall, AT&T has better coverage nationwide than T-Mobile especially with 3G network access.

  • Hello. I live in Turkey. My friend will go to Russia in 1 week. He will buy iphone 5 from there, can he use it in Turkey ? Will be any problem?

    Hello. I live in Turkey. My friend will go to Russia in 1 week. He will buy iphone 5 from there, can he use it in Turkey ? Will be any problem? Is it unlock sim? Waiting answer as soon as possible please.

    You can't. You need a verified billing address in the US in order to order from the US online store. And, whatever you order will only be shipped to a US address.

  • Irecently upgraded my Iphone 3GS from 4.1 to 6.0 using Itunes. Now its showing me message that the phone cannot be activated. What can i do ?

    Irecently upgraded my Iphone 3GS from 4.1 to 6.0 using Itunes. Now its showing me message that the phone cannot be activated. What can i do ? The phone was Jail Br

    iPhones can be unlocked in the U.S. as well and in a number of countries - by the carrier the iPhone was sold as carrier locked with, which doesn't require an Apple store and has nothing whatsoever to do with hacking an iPhone.
    Hacking an iPhone is against the iOS license agreement, which you have violated.
    If you think upgrading an iPhone isn't easy, I feel sorry for you. Upgrading an iPhone that hasn't been hacked to be unlocked or for any other reason is easy, but hacking as you have done can and does cause problems - you have severely altered the operating system making the iPhone as insecure as that swiss cheese for security garbage that is Windows and Android just for starters.

    Wrong, and too funny, but thanks for my laugh for the day.
