Buying the Iphone 5 through Verizon in Europe?

I am living in Rome, Italy and I was wondering if I could buy the Verizon Iphone 5 here because I am eligible for an upgrade and don't feel like paying full price. If it is possible where would I go to do this?

    Hi jcbulldogs7,
Verizon only has stores based in the United States so the best method to order an upgrade will be through vzw.com. Only U.S. shipping addresses are accepted so if you have someone you trust to be able to accept your order/package then have it shipped to them and they can ship you the phone internationally. Other than travelling to the States to complete the transaction, this would be the best method to place your order. Keep in mind that upgrading the line will place it in a renewed two-year contract.  The phones are still in back order so I encourage you to place a working email address on your order so you can receive updated status on the transaction.
Thank you,

    Your question has been answered.  Jailbreaking cannot be discussed here.  If you buy a phone locked to a carrier, it would be down to them to unlock it, and that's very unlikely if you've only just got the phone.  Locked phones are "cheap" for a reason - you're signing up for a contract and that subsidises the cost of the phone.

  • Would love help some tech issues with buying the iphone/upgrading my plan because I had a TERRIBLE RUDE chat with Jenna

    I don't know how to contact you by email, but I just want you to know I had a terrible live chat with someone named Jenna, just not at 5:26pm PT. There was no survey at the end to rate and give my feedback, so I am doing so here. I wanted to spare your dignity and not take it out on the company by posting publicly on your own page, so I am doing so in this message because I still respect your service overall. I feel that you just have to know Jenna was cold, lacked any interest in my issue, and even sarcastic at times which I found extremely unprofessional. I've never been treated by any rep at Verizon this way before. I just had concerns about buying the iphone 6 and she in no way eased those concerns or gave proper explaining, so perhaps she needs more training. Not a good way to sell your company or product, that's for sure. If I wasn't on here through a company contract, I would easily have switched to another service. if you have further questions, feel free to reach me/message me back.

    Speaking of being rude and needing a "workshop that you can attend on empathy, positive energy and how to be more kind to human beings", your message certainly speaks for itself. Out of our collective posts, YOURS are the only ones which resort to insults and name calling. I take it you WILL NOT be leading that workshop.
    As to your statement "i got the message the first time", my two posts are about 2 unrelated items in your OP. It is NOT me posting the same information twice. The first was about the availability of your receipt and the 2nd was about your claim you thought you were replying in private to Verizon and you should read a bit more closely next time if the email you got led you to believe that. Seeing your reply to me, I can certainly understand your need to do so. I'm sorry if you think me trying to keep your personal information private and not being spread needlessly across the web seems rude.
    Hopefully you got your receipt with the information you needed.

  • Would you buy the iPhone 5 again?

    I've been an Android guy since the Motorola Droid 1 days and most recently have used the Samsung Galaxy Nexus.  In short, I've been happy with this phone other than the fact it doesn't do its most important feature well such as HOLDING A SIGNAL.  Seriously, it is a freaking joke.  It was a problem when I bought this phone and I kept thinking that VZW would roll out an update to fix it.  Nope.  A dozen tech calls might fix it. Nope.  Even VZW seems to have given up on the phone.  Now when I call to complain, they just remind me I have an upgrade coming.  Most people fault VZW, I fault Google for allowing their flagship Nexus device to launch with such poor construction. 
    So onto my question.  My wife has the iPhone 4S, which for the most part has been great.  At a minimum it holds a steady 3G signal where I can't get anything.  At this time, I still want 4G and I like the bigger size of the iPhone 5, not to mention the global capabilities.
    Would you buy the IPhone 5 again? A quick Google search shows there was some reception issues with it as well on VZW, but many of those were older. Has it been resolved?  I can't drop a ton of money and deal with this stupidity again.  Otherwise I might hold on for the Moto X.  I'm through with Samsung, forever. 

    WOW, I just had my Verizon insurout ance replacement iphone 4s stolen in Cambridge, MA and located it with the App Find my Phone, and need a phone desperately as it is my work phone.  The replacement 4S stopped holding a charge for more than an hour and many other problems, like when you go to Contacts, and try to choose a person to call or text, the names start automatically scrolling and it was like diving in a pool of water that was 12' wide from a skyscraper....it took like 15 attempts to finally get your finger on the right contact and was absolutely frustrating.  So I was headed out to suck up the retail price for a new iphone 5 because my contract isn't up yet w/ Verizon and I also won't be using them again.
    So, I have 2 questions as I am at my wit's end and taking vacation day to deal with this crap today as I fly 60 % of the time.  An as an FYI, Boston and Cambridge campus is a hot spot for stolen Smartphones, so you might wanna tape that baby to your chest and use the speaker phone:-)
    1.  Is the iphone 5 a piece of crap too and does anyone have Samsung Galaxy or any other models they don't have issues with?
    2.  I am NOT tech savvy and was going to try to buy a used one on Craigslist or Ebay but all the recommendations are that you ask all these questions and go pick it up in person???  I am a female and that is not going to happen.....HELPPP  Any other options before I jump off that skyscraper into that pool???
    Sorry for long post, but dealing with this mess is soooo frustrating and I feel like I am hanging by a noose by Verizon.

  • If i buy the iphone 4s unlocked, it will work in israel?

    If i buy the iphone 4s unlocked, it will work in israel?

    What if it's a Verizon iPhone?
    Are all iPhones originally made "for" a carrier? If I'm in an electronics store (not a carrier store) and they have an iPhone for sale, do I need to ask what carrier it is for? I know for sure that it works with AT&T phones which are GSM.
    I heard Verizon iPhones can't be unlocked for foreign GSM SIMS except by Verizon, who will only do it for customers, ie if u have a contract.

  • If I would buy a iPhone 5s A1457 in europe, will I be able to use it in Australia?

    If I would buy a iPhone 5s A1457 in europe, will I be able to use it in Australia?

    Maxime, If you bought it with Apple in Nederland (or België) it is unlocked and you can put any sim card in it. If you go to Australia for a long time, do as Allan says, because although it will work, you will not have guarantee in Australia.
    If you bought it from a provider, it is locked to that provider and you can not use it with another sim card. This is not really a problem when you are only going to Australia for a short visit, you can go on using your NL sim card, but note that you better set Dataroaming to OFF, otherwise it could be a very costly trip. SMS and telephone will also be more expensive in Australia with a dutch card.
    The prices in Australia are not much different (tax included) from NL and BE.

  • I 'm French and i want to buy the iphone 5 unlocked in USA

    Hello i'am French and i want to buy the Iphone 5 unlocked in USA. Because i will go to USA. Is it possible ? And how i would do it ?
    Thank You !

    Well mate, this is a bit complicated here in North America (being from Europe myself): in the USA you can as of now only purchase phones locked to the three major carriers and they only support the "local" LTE bands. In Canada (where I live) on the other hand, you can purchase unlocked iPhones (if available!) from any Apple Store. However they also only support the North American LTE frequencies, while in Europe they are slightly different. This is the reason, why Apple sells three different iPhone 5: http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2012/09/iphone5-lte-model/.
    So to prevent hassle, I would strongly recommend to purchase the iPhone 5 in Europe.
    Good luck!

  • Which apple store in usa can i buy the iphone 5 factory unlock

    which apple store in USA can I buy the iphone 5 factory unlock

    Well, it is a requirement in the UK that they be sold unlocked.  If you remember when the iPhone was first launched in the UK, all the phones were carrier locked to 02 in an exclusive deal and then they became unlocked when Vodafone, 3 and Orange etc, started to be able to offer the iPhone.
    Unfortunately, the US is different, but there are 3 carrier to choose from now with AT&T, Verizon and Sprint.  For a few years it was only AT&T.  Just works differently out there, depending on networks and agreements with the phone carriers.

  • On the Apple webiste, I read that you must run OS 10.6.8 in order to sync the iPhone 5 with the computer. However, in the tech specs on the "Buy the iPhone now" email  I  received at my .me email address, it list the OS sytem needed as 10.5.8. Which is it

    On the Apple website, I read that you must run OS 10.6.8 in order to sync the iPhone 5 with the computer. However, in the tech specs on the "Buy the iPhone now" email I received at my .me email address, it listed the OS sytem needed as 10.5.8. Which is it?

    In Reply to all fellow Apple fans: It is great that someone found a work-around to the iTunes 11.4 no syncing problem. I think that is fine for the short term. And  I am really glad that we customers have a forum to share information and experiences regarding Apple's products. However, as someone here said, we are all customers; and posting a problem here "IN HOPES THAT APPLE READS THESE POSTS" is NOT a way to resolve this issue or any issue.
    PLEASE CONTACT APPLE: Apple Service Center: 1-800-275-2273   - Once you get a ticket number then and only then is this documented and then Apple can follow-through and alert the engineers who will fix this.
    The "CWA2" work-around band-aid does several things in addition to reverting back to iTunes 11.3.1. :
    1) It ensures that Apple continues to know nothing of the problem.
    2) It ensures that the faulty code that is within 11.4 remains there and is perpetuated into future versions.
    3) It ensures that YOU can never upgrade to future versions. (If the resident faulty code remains and perpetuates)
    So once you have reverted back to 11.3.1, the problem APPEARS to have gone away (FOR YOU) but you have not solved the problem.
    Again, respectfully,
    1) Sending feedback to apple (using the "Report Bugs To Apple" menu item in Safari will get the information to someone, somewhere and add it to the pile of issues, complaints, suggestions, etc.
    2) CALLING the Apple service/support Center at  1-800-275-2273 will put you in touch with a real APPLE person who will begin the process of documenting and forwarding this issue on to those who will fix it.
    and
    3) emailing Apple directly will make sure that they get the information.
    lets get this fixed !!!!!!!!!

  • How do I create a SMS and/or email distribution on iPhone through Verizon?

    How do I create a SMS and/or email distribution on iPhone through Verizon? I have distribution lists set up in my contacts on my computer, but they are not visible on my phone.

    This type of thing is probably best done with a script, either by adding a uniquely named field to each page or by spawing a template page that contains just the form field (like your last idea). There's not a built-in method for doing this. If you add a blank page to the beginning of the document, create the field in the location you want, and make the page a template, you can run the following script in the interactive JavaScript console (Ctrl+J):
    // Get a reference to the template
    var t = getTemplate("Field");
    // Spawn the template on each page, automatically renaming the fields
    for (var i = 1; i < numPages; i += 1) {
        t.spawn({nPage: i, bRename: true, bOverlay: true});
    To run the code, select it all in the console and press Ctrl+Enter, or Enter on the numeric keypad.
    To make a page a template in Acrobat 11, make sure you're on the page you want to make a template and select: Tools > Document Processing > Page Templates
    and enter a name. I used a name of "Field" in the example above, but you can use anything.
    To create a blank page, you can use the following script:
    newPage({nPage: 0, nWidth: 8.5 * 72, nHeight: 11 * 72});
    for an 8.5"x11" page. Adjust the numbers to match whatever your page size is. It will be added to the beginning of the document and you can then add the field and make it a template. Once the fields have been added, you can remove the template page.

  • IPhone 5 replacement and buying the iPhone 6

    So first off, my iPhone 5 recently fell in water and is not working so I was planning on just early terminating my contract, selling it for used parts on eBay, and buying the iPhone 6 but I decided to get a replacement for my iPhone 5. Now my question, is it possible to order my iPhone 5 replacement, then *cancel the contract/deactivate phone as it's being delivered* to me so I use it as an iPod when it arrives to me so I can go and purchase the iPhone 6 on release day without paying the full retail price? If you don't understand, I'll break it down:
    - Order replacement iPhone 5
    - Terminate contract and deactivate phone during delivery
    - Receive iPhone 5 (only to use as an iPod/or sell for profit)
    - Buy iPhone 6 for discounted price ($300)

    "Terminating the contract" tells me you have time left on the contract, which means you are not eligible to upgrade at the discounted price.  Putting your old contract back on the line would have the same effect as not terminating at all - you still would not be eligible to upgrade. Dial #874 (#UPG) When are you able to upgrade at the discounted price?
    Also, if you do terminate, there's no guarantee you'll get the same number back.  The only way to ensure thatyou keep the number is to port to a new carrier, which would terminate the line with Verizon, triggering the ETF.  Then port back in to Verizon, but you'd be back to square one anyway, exactly where yo uare today, not eligible to upgrade at the discounted price.

  • I want to buy the iphone model A1533

    I want to buy the iPhone 5s model is A1533 (GSM) will it work in the Czech Republic? I have T-mobile here but want to also use it in the states when I return, not with t-mobile.
    Chuck

    Assuming you want to use a local carrier's sim in the  Czech Rep
    It should work on 3G but not 4G in Europe as long as you follow ethmoid's advice and buy only from Apple
    When you return to the US then you just have a US model iPhone with no carrier lock

    I want to buy the iphone 5 A1429 GSM model. I want to buy it online from Austrian Apple store. How do I ensure I get the right model?

    That's the only model iPhone 5, sold by Apple as officially unlocked, in Europe. Thus, if you order an officially unlocked iPhone 5, that's what you'll get.
