Can an unlocked iphone 4S be used in two countries with local carriers?

I spend 1/2 my time in US and 1/2 in Malaysia. I would like to buy an iphone 4S and use the phone with a local carrier in US and Maxis in Malaysia. Can this be done if I buy a factory unlocked phone?

Yes.  That's the whole point of an unlocked phone.  The carrier has to be GSM.  However, not all GSM carriers support all iPhone features.  Pick ones that are official iPhone carriers (i.e. sell iPhones) to be sure.

  • Can an unlocked iPhone 4s be used as an iPod (wifi only)?

    If your BB has a microSIM on AT&T and you buy an unlocked iPhone you could use it to activate the iPhone then return it to your BB, assuming your work has not locked this out. Or you could get a microSIM from AT&T, start an account, activate the iPhone then cancel the account and pay the $350 ETF. The problem with this route is if you had to restore the iPhone you would have to do it again.
    Trust me, the camera on the iPhone 4s is not worth the over $1,000 you would have to pay.
    You could also wait until next year when they upgrade the camera on the Touch.

  • I bought an iphone 5 unlocked from verizon. Can i use it in Greece with vodafone carrier?

    I bought an iphone 5 unlocked from verizon. Can i use it in Greece with vodafone carrier? or is ti better to buy on from AT&T?

    Verizon is cdma - no sims card       Att is simms card based   I would contact Vodaphone and get their opinion of the situation (i believe there technology is sims based)   http://www.vodafone.co.uk/personal/index.htm  to help you make the correct decision.
    I would also explore the unlocked option with them (greece vodaphone) and a states based carrier (att) so you can use the phone in the states and eu if you travel

    Contact Sprint. They are the only ones that can authorize an unlock. No one else can. If they refuse to unlock, there is nothing you can do but sell the device and get another phone.

  • My wife and I both have the iphone and we use my macbook pro with iTunes to sync our ipods. When I do something on my iPhone it shows on hers. How do I set up her a seperate iTunes acct on my mac so she can operate independent of me?

    My wife and I both have the iphone and we use my macbook pro with iTunes to sync our ipods. When I do something on my iPhone it shows on hers. How do I set up her a seperate iTunes acct on my mac so she can operate independent of me?

    There's info here on setting up separate libraries and user accounts. You won't have to reload (or re-import) all the music, just copy it.
    The reason I suggest separate accounts on the Mac is because if you have the two libraries under the same user account, iTunes will also open the last library that was open in that account, and you'll always have to be mindful of which library that is. If you open iTunes and find it's not your library, you'll have quit, relaunch holding the option key and select the other library.
    No, you won't have to log in and out of the Mac. (If I'm understanding your question here.) Multiple accounts can be logged in at the same time. And with fast user switching, you can toggle between user accounts.
    I'll admit that maintaining the two libraries gets a little tricky, because if you share all the same music, you'll have to add it to one and update the other. (That won't happen automatically.) But I think Home Sharing makes this much easier to do.
    Hope that helps!

  • Hi i am from israel and willing to buy iphone 5 from the USA but i want to  know when i can buy unlocked iphone 5 ?!!

    hey guys
    i am from israel and i am at the US for couple of weeks i want to buy the iphone 5 ..because i will have to wait till dec to buy it from my country

    You should wait until December since the warranty for the iPhone purchased in the US if needed will be honored in the US only.

  • Just converted word to PDF so that I can save on iPhone and subsequently use. Where is the file??

    Just converted word to PDF so that I can save on iPhone and subsequently use. Where is the file?? I have no idea where it is!! Extremely frustrating and not at all user friendly!! Took my 6.99 British pounds and not a sausage to be had!!

    It sounds like you may have purchased a CreatePDF subscription through safari, using our web interface. If this is the case, the good news is that subscription will also work with the (free) Adobe Reader. Simply install the Reader from the App Store:
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/adobe-reader/id469337564?mt=8
    Once installed, you can then use "Open In" from another app like Mail to open the Word document in Adobe Reader. Reader will show the word doc, but it will also show you a message pointing to the "convert" button (A document with an arrow through it in the toolbar). Pressing this button should prompt you to sign into Acrobat.com. Use the same account you used to purchase your subscription and Reader will upload the word document for conversion, placing it in the Acrobat.com and Outbox section of the Reader. Please let me know if you have trouble!
