Can I buy a SIM in the UK for the World Phone and use on local service?

I am travelling to the UK and have 2 old World Phones. Can I buy a Vodaphone "pay as you go" SIM card and activate these phones under local UK service for my kids while we are there? I really only need phone and text or BIM service.
I believe the UK-based SIM would give the phones a UK-based phone number and make them local calls (instead of paying the higher international rates)

No, it wont work on 3G networks in U.S, it only supports WCDMA 2100 and 900, Whereas to work on U.S 3G networks a device should support atleast WCDMA 850 or 1900 look here

    Hello milkisoo,
    Wow! Purchasing a new computer and monitor should be a fun and exciting experience, and instead, it sounds like it’s turned into a complete nightmare. I can only imagine your disappointment when you found two charges relating to its purchase on your debit card account, and I’m sorry for any aggravation this caused. 
    As I want to provide you some piece of mind, I pulled up your order number using your email address attached to the forum. After review of its payment information, I found we collected only one payment.  However, when orders are first placed on BestBuy.com, a pending authorization should show up on your bank card to make sure funds are available for the order until it is fulfilled. From there, the authorization should drop off and the collection charge should appear.  This is the case for your one charge of $1,051.69.
    It also sounds like an error may have occurred when you initially attempted to place your order,  resulting in one of your gift cards not registering properly and the order not being completed.  Your card’s issuing bank doesn’t appear to have recognized this and pushed through the pending authorization. This occurred a second time when your account information didn’t quite match up with what we had on file. Please know that we haven’t ordered a collection of these funds and your issuing bank should release the two pending authorizations within 5 to 7 business days.
    Thank you for posting.

  • CAN ONE HAVE THREE COPIES OF THE SAME DATABASE AND USE THEM ALTERNATLEY IN LIGHTROOM TO SEARCH FOR KEY WORDS, ETC?

    I have two back ups and a traveling copy of my work.  Each is 4 terabites and growing.  I want to apply keywords to he images in Lighroom, copy the new information to the other two drives which are backups and use any of the three in any of three computers.  The keywords are installed in all three computers, but how does the computer know it is a different hard drive without keying in all three hard drives.

    If each drive is set up exactly the same, with all image paths concurrent, you should be able to substitute the .lrcat with the newly keyworded info. into any one of them and that should bring in all info with a minimum of work. However, it does require diligence in keeping good track of which catalog is the "Master".

  • Going to Europe soon - can I buy a SIM in Europe to fit my ATT 5s or do I need to have the phone unlocked?

    Looked everywhere for the answer(s) - did note that the 5s phone (ATT usa version) is compatible with European signals...
    ATT wants me to use their international plan.
    Last trip, I had my Iphone 4s unlocked (2 year contract was up) and I bought an O2 SIM for a month.  Much cheaper and more Data
    Sooo.... Can I buy a SIM chip in Europe and have it work with the USA 5s ATT phone without having to jump thru hoops?
    Thanks in advance

    Thanks to you both.  I thought as much so I'll simply bring my unlocked 4s.   What I did find really cool was that I could buy a SIM for my (ATT) Ipad 4 in Germany (O2) for month to month then used their teathering feature GREAT for up to 5 items and up to 5.5GB at 25 Euro  
    THANKS for your replies!!

  • Can I buy a 4s in the U.S. without a contract and use it in another country?

    Can I buy a 4s in the U.S. without a contract and use it in another country? I want to buy it in the U.S. but use it in Spain (probably with Orange)

    As long as you buy an iPhone that is unlocked (aka "SIM free") not just without contract. Unlocked iPhones are available only from Apple Stores in the US.
    Note that the warranty on the iPhone is not international, so if you have a problem with a US iPhone, you would have to ship it to someone who could take or send it to Apple for service and then ship it back to you.
    Regards.

  • Can i buy a sim free iphone 5s from a apple retail store ?

    Can i buy a sim free iphone 5s from a apple retail store in nyc or is it exclusively avaliable online ?

    You can buy it at an Apple store. But you do not want "SIM Free", which means that you can use it with any carrier, but the phone becomes locked permanently to the first carrier you use it with. You want to be clear that you want an "UNLOCKED" phone. Apple does not sell SIM Free phones, but some independent dealers (such as Carphone Warehouse in the UK) do.
    Also, note that if you plan to use it outside of the US you will not have warranty or repair service available for it; Apple will only fix phones (in or out of warranty) in the country of purchase. And it may not work on LTE (4G) networks outside of North America.

  • I have an Iphone 5C and I'm going to Brazil next month.Can i buy a Sim card there and use my phone?

    I have an Iphone 5C and i'm going to Brazil next month.
    Can I buy a Sim card and use my phone? Is it easy to change the card?
    Any ideia how much will cost? Can I still use my phone to face time with
    my family here if I change the Sim card? Thanks

    If you're talking about "regular" icloud, then setting it up should have no effect on your music.  Try syncing the device to iTunes and check the music settings and sync again.
    If you subscribe to iTunes Match, is the device in wifi range?

  • If I get my iphone unlocked can I buy a sim card in Spain and then use it there and get free 3g access

    If I get my iphone unlocked can I buy a sim card in Spain and then use it there and get free 3g access

    No. You can't activate any iPhone without a sim card installed. The sim card itself need not be activated, but it must be valid & present. Since you updated the software, the phone requires re-activation, thus you need a sim card. You can borrow one from someone, but bottom line, you need a sim card.

    You are not addressing Apple here. And your post is a bit confusing. See Klaus's answer in this thread:

  • Can you buy a slide out keyboard case for the six plus? Like you can for the 6.

    can you buy a slide out keyboard case for the 6 plus?

    There are 2 separate issues here:
    - The Apple 30 pin to USB cable was redesigned to remove the 2 button squeeze feature pricesley because of your issue with the buttons falling off and consumers being unable to disconnect the cords.  The newly redesigned cable removes these 2 side buttons for a shorter 30 pin connector that will work just fine in Apple devices.  If there is an ergonomic reason for wanting the larger 2 button design you can buy a host of 3rd party Apple 30 pin to USB cables on the market.  http://store.apple.com/us/product/MA591G/C/apple-30-pin-to-usb-cable?fnode=3a
    http://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Meter-Charging-Cable-iPhone/dp/B004SBBD8U/ref =sr_1_5?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1370983635&sr=1-5&keywords=30+pin+apple+usb - 3rd party Apple 30 pin USB cable that should replace the functionality you are looking for.
    - The issue of your iPad reporting that it isn't charging is a DIFFERENT issue.  Your USB cable is FINE.  The reason you are getting this message is beacuse the Power Adaptor that the USB cable plugs into isn't providing enough electrical juice.  If you are plugging your USB cable into your PC it might not be getting enough power.  If you are plugging it into your iPhone Power Adaptor (5W) it isn't strong enough to charge your iPad with it on (it will trickle charge if you have your iPad off).  What you need is the Apple 12W charger for iPad.  Your original power adapter that came with you iPad 2 was a 10W charger that Apple no longer sells.  Make sure the USB cable you are using it plugged into either a 10W or 12W power adapter!  http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shop_ipad/ipad_accessories/power
    Tech speak if interested: the 12W charger uses the USB cable to detect which iPad is connected and gives it 1 AMP for iPhone, 2.1 AMP for iPad 1,2 & Mini and 2.4 AMP for iPad 3&4.
