Can I activate iphone 4 outside USA ?

I bought iphone 4 from Apple center in NY but I left the states without activating it.
Can I activate it while I'm not in the USA.
Also is it normal to find at&t Sim card inside the phone although it is unlocked phone.
please help

If it is still locked to AT&T then why they took 600$ from me !!
That is the price of the phone. If you sign up for a two year contract with AT&T, they subsidize the phone, so will sell it for a lot lower price and get the difference from your monthly payments over the two years. In either case, the phone is locked to AT&T.

  • How can i buy iphone from USA  if i am from romania?

    How can i buy iPhone from USA  if i am from Romania?
    Can you tell me it is possible? and what taxes i have to pay and the iPhone price.

    The $199 price is for an iPhone with a service plan with AT&T, Verizon or Sprint - that is the subsidized price with a valid cellular service plan.
    Those phones will be LOCKED to the carrier who's service plan you subscribe to - they WILL NOT work outside of the USA nor on any carrier other than the one chosen at the time of ordering.
    You would want one of the unlocked GSM phones (16Gb=$649 USD, 32Gb=$749 and 64Gb=$849)
    You cannot order from the web store unless you have a USA credit card with a USA billing AND shipping address (the web stores ONLY ship to their own country, not to other countries).  So as already mentioned, you would have to come to the USA and buy an UNLOCKED iPhone at an Apple store.

  • Activate iphone outside US

    how can i activate iphone if living outside US? esp. how can i use internet functions on iphone, i.e. maps, mails, etc.
    i'm now in UAE and travelling a lot around the world but not US.

    they said as far as they were aware, given i was activating with AT&T in accordance with Apple's T&C's there was no issue on warranty.
    AT&T has nothing to say about warranty issues, and AT&T reps are in general woefully informed about such matters. Apple has said that they do not support any attempts to unlock an iPhone, and if such an attempt renders the iPhone unfunctional, as has happened to some people, Apple will consider that to be an unauthorized modification which voids the warranty.
    Furthermore, Turkey has authorised Apple outlets who claim to validly support my Apple extended plan warranty on my Mac.
    Irrelevant. Mac sales are not restricted by country whereas the iPhone is. Further, it doesn't require any unauthorized modifications to use a Mac outside the country in which it is sold, whereas use of an iPhone with any cell network other than the one to which it's locked (or in France, a French network) does require unauthorized modifications.
    Bottom line: an iPhone will not work as sold by Apple in any cell network but those for which the iPhone is sold (see above for a list). Anyone who attempts to modify an iPhone to work with another cell network will get not support from Apple and risks voiding the iPhones warranty.

  • How can i activate iphone 4 on ios6 without a sim card?

    how can i activate iphone 4 on ios6 without a sim card?i upgraded mu iphone to ios but the iphone is factory locked so i can not activate it with a sim card because i dont have the original sim card.is another way to do it?

    You cannot do anything without a sim for the carrier the iPhone is locked to.  With that you can attempt to restore using the recovery mode described in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212 but note that if the previous owner installed an Apple ID and password and turned on Settings > iCloud > Find My Phone, you will never get it to work without the Apple ID and password.  That is the Activation Lock, an anti-theft protection system.

  • Can't activate iphone

    Help! Can't activate iphone. When phone is connected via USB 2.0, get windows message that iphone is camera and to select program (eg microsoft word, sonic) to launch action. itunes 7.4 version doesn't recognize iphone either. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    The Puppy is correct.
    There is no work around to get the iPhone to work with your computer.
    Since you bought a GREAT phone,
    maybe it's time to get yourself a GREAT computer to go along with it.

    Hi alain961!
    I have an article for you that can help you with that question:
    iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818
    What if I purchase a device that is still linked to the previous owner's account?
    Contact the previous owner as soon as possible and ask them to erase the device and remove it from their account. For complete instructions, read how to remove a device from a previous owner's account.
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

  • I carphonewarehouse in the UK to buy an iPhone4s, I went back to Ireland not sim card, then can not activate iphone how to do?

    I carphonewarehouse in the UK to buy an iPhone4s, I went back to Ireland not sim card, then can not activate iphone how to do?

    Carphone warehouse does not sell unlocked phones. The phones they sell will only activate with a UK carrier and will lock to the UK carrier used to activate it. You can not use that phone on an Irish network. Return it and buy an unlocked phone directly from Apple or one intended for use on the network you intend to us in Ireland.

  • Can not activate iphone with my apple id

    Hi,

    About my apple id, a month ago i change primary Email and vefiry..
    Now i can login to both appleid but can not ACTIVATE IPHONE..
    Pls help me..

    If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must enter the previous Apple ID and password to use the device. If you cannot enter the previous Apple ID and password you will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

  • HT4972 I installed ios 5.1.1 and I can not activate iphone. why?

    I installed ios 5.1.1 and I can not activate iphone. I'm appreciating the signal "no service". I do not read the card. what can I do about it?

    Was it hacked, jailbroken, or "unlocked" by someone other than the carrier it was originally locked to?
    This is symptomatic of a hacked phone that has been updated or restored. If that's the case, it is now a brick.

    Its a serious problem and many people are facing the same issue on both locked and factory unlocked phones.
    I wonder when Apple will address to this issue. After all it is losing all its reputation!
    See this thread, many users are encountering the same issue:

    I believe its a software issue and could be solved asap Apple fixes it!

    vechr good guys please tell me I can not activate iphone 3gs unlock after the official sees no sim card

    Disable your antivirus and firewall.
    If that doesn't fix it either the phone was jailbroken or hacked, or the computer you are using was used to hack or jailbreak some other iDevice.

  • HT5569 i dont have wifi connection , so how can i activate iphone using cable?

    i dont have wifi connection , so how can i activate iphone using cable?

    Cannot connect an iPhone to cable, Ethernet or any other wired network media. But since I assume you want to activate the phone so it works as a phone thru some carrier, you can activate it thru that carrier's data link. Just make sure you have a data plan in the contract or pay-as-you-go SIM.
