Can I buy an unblocked iPhone in the UK and then use it in France?

Hi everyone!
I'm currently leaving in the UK and I would like to buy an iPhone5 without contract from the apple store. I'm going to move to France around March 2013 and I would like to know if the iphone that I bought here can work with a French contract as well.
Thanks for your answers!

Yep, you can do that & the phone will work just fine. Your warranty will be valid as well, as the iPhone warranty is EU wide, if purchased in any EU country. Only purchase from Apple, as Apple is the only source for officially unlocked iPhones, in the UK.

  • Can I buy a Mac Pro in the States and then buy and register AppleCare in Australia?

    Hi,
    I  am going to buy a Mac Pro in the States but will be using it mainly in  Australia. Can I purchase and register Applecare for the Mac Pro in  Australia?
    Thanks.

    Would you incur a fiscal deficit, moreso, by registering a US purchased
    Applecare plan, or registering the same plan, bought in Australia?
    The AppleCare extended plan is nearly global, and could be bought
    nearly anywhere. Some users buy one in the USA, then travel to Japan.
    In some cases, the place where you buy the plan is cheaper than where
    you may be living afterward; so consider the national sales tax in Oz.
    Depending on where you buy the computer in the States, the plan can be
    added on and automatically enrolled at the same time. You could wait
    and buy the plan in Australia; at whatever currency rate and tax added.
    Is there any magic behind the method, man?

  • Is it possible to buy an iPhone 4s unlocked in the US, and then use it normally and completely in France with Freemobile ?

    Is it possible to buy an iPhone 4s unlocked in the US, and then use it normally and completely into France with Freemobile (which provides micro-SIM) ?
    I'm travelling to NYC tomorrow and that would be 100€ less than in France...

    Thank you for the quick answer
    Do you mean that I can't reserve and pick up my phone in the local apple store as it's explained on the site (http://www.apple.com/retail/iphone/) ?
    What about the social security number asked in the formulary ? I've got a French one...
    Puzzled...

    This is a user forum. You aren't talking to Apple here.
    Return your iPhone for a refund. There is no way to remove the Activation Lock. Apple won't get involved.

    Hi, Chris.
    I did some research and found that your answers are not completely accurate.
    The T-mobile contract-free iPhone is already being sold, but it will take 7-10 business days to ship. And, as confirmed by Apple Specialists and also by people who have already bought it, it is factory unlocked.
    Yes, there is a contract free T-Mobile phone, but it is not "the" unlocked phone which Apple will begin to sell usually 2 months or so from the release date. So my answer to that question is accurate. I specifically identified the T-Mobile phone, and a search of the forum would yield some responses identifying its inability to work in some locations. And again, it has to be the T-Mobile phone sold at the Apple store, not T-Mobile.

    Regarding French LTE bands, they use 800, 1800 and 2600MHz, all of those supported by the iPhone 6.
    While that statement is accurate, see Lawrence's response regarding how it works.

    And finally, about the warranty, that is also something that should be checked country by country. Although Apple says its warranty won't cover products purchased abroad, some countries' laws require manufacturers to provided services under warranty to phones no matter where they were purchased. For example, since Apple has a branch in Brazil, justice here has repeatedly ruled in favor of customers  who needed service on iPhones purchased in other countries.
    While that may be an example, the overall warranty statement by Apple is that warrant is specific to the country of purchase for the reasons that Lawrence states. Certain devices cannot be found in certain countries. Should I travel to Brazil and have a problem with my phone, they would have a very difficult time replacing a locked AT&T device. They would not have that stock.

  • Can I buy mountain lion in another Macbook computer, and then Re install it in mine?

    Can I buy mountain lion in another Macbook computer, and then Re install it in mine?
    I'm stock in the re install mode of the Mountain Lion system and I obviosly didn't buy it for this Macbook, and I was wondering if I can purchase Mountain Lion in on of my friends Macbook, and then install it in mine, with my apple ID of course. Thank you.

    Well, I can check with mine when it need to be updated and then I can signed with my ID again on his mac to update it, right? Just wondering if it's not going to create any conflicts with other software's, specially with iCloud and iTunes, because of his iPhone and iPad.
    Thanks for the answer.

  • How can I apply a timestretch to different null objects and then use them to parent layers?

    I am using several hundred stills which are held on screen for different lengths of time. Is there a way to create null objects with various timestretch values and then use them to parent my stills?
    I'm trying to find an equivalent to the 'paste attributes' function in Final Cut Pro.
    Thanks in advance
    A

    If you have movement on the stills you can set up expressions based on in and out points. That's what I do. I then drop all my stills in order into a comp then set the out point for all stills for the longest duration. I then set group colors for layers that I want to make different lengths, do a group select and then adjust the out points for those layers. When I'm done I sequence the layers using the keyframe assistant.
    The other way I work is to use an audio track with markers for timing. I have an expression that reads the markers and sets opacity for the layers based on pairs of markers. The motion is also controlled by expressions. That's an even faster way to set up an animated slide show.
    The last way I work is just to set in an out points for all layers, sequence the layers, use expressions to do the motion and then use time remapping on a pre-comp to adjust the timing of the slide show. All methods are quick and easy.
    Here's a fly in bounce and then drop out fxx preset that will give you an idea of how expressions based on in and out point work for slide shows. You just drag the layer to it's resting position, apply the animatiokn preset and the layer flys in, bounces, and then drops out the bottom of the comp. Works in 2D and 3D space.

  • Can I save a keynote presentation in Power Point and then use the power point on my Macbook?

    My library has a Toshiba TW 650 projector that is used by PCs. I am going to be giving a presentation created on Keynote.
    My DVI-VGA connector did not work for my 2009 Macbook to the projector. Can I sve the Keynote presentation to power point and then
    show the presentation on a PC with the Power Point version?

    Hello redffox,
    You can export the project to a .PPT file as outlined here: Keynote '09: Creating a PowerPoint slideshow http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3698
    To create a PowerPoint slideshow:
    Choose Share > Export, click PPT (PowerPoint) and then click Next.
    Type a name and choose a location for the file, and then click Export.
    Additional Information
    Note: PowerPoint doesn’t support some Keynote features:
    Some bulleted text items may be lost. If you hide the bulleted text on a slide (by deselecting Body in the Slide inspector), it is deleted from the outline when you export.
    PowerPoint doesn’t support alpha-channel graphics, so if you use a photo cutout frame, the image behind it will appear in front. You may also notice slight variations in other graphics.
    Cheers,
    Sterling

  • Can I buy an unlocked iPhone 5, activate it in the US and then use it in Italy?

    I am an italian guy studying in the states and I want to buy an unlocked iPhone 5 here in the US, but I’ll go back permanently in Italy in May.
    1429 CDMA model should well with my ATT sim since it covers all GSM features, right?
    Then back in Italy I just need to put in a nano sim from my italian carrier and that’s it…it should work.
    Just one more question….is it better to activate the iPhone with US sim or Italian sim i have on my iPad 4?
    Although I don’t have internet pack in neither of sims, thus I use WiFi to activate it, but i don’t know if it’s better to put italian sim for some reasons i don’t know…Anyway i’ll use another sim back in Italy (sim in iPad is not my “official” number, i just use it for data pack).
    I hope everything is clear and easy to understand.
    Thank you!

    Matter of fact i do not need LTE in US, i just need normal 3G connection, and there shouldn't be any troubles with ATT for that, right?
    Correct, but AT&T will require you sign a contact for new service, whether your phone is unlocked or not. They don't do pay-as-you-go for the iPhone.
    Thus 1429 CDMA won't work with LTE in Italy?
    Only if roaming with Verizon, otherwise, no.

  • Can I purchase an unlocked iPhone in the US and use it in Malta?

    Hi all
    I'll be visiting NYC in the coming months and I would love to own an iPhone 4s! I am interested in buying an unlocked iPhone 4s from an authorised Apple store in NYC as the current prices in my country, Malta for an iPhone 4s is $800 with one of our service providers and its quite expensive :/.  Would I have any problems if I use my local SIM card on it in Malta? 

    The only issue you need to be aware of is warranty/support. Yours will only be valid in the US. Any issues, and you'll have to figure out how to physically return the phone, to the US, for all warranty issues...you can't mail it back.
    1 reason too buy apple product's ! its didnt get any hardware issue Normally !

  • Can I buy an iPod classic in the USA and use it in Germany

    Dear friends and apple users,
    I am currently using a MacBook bought in Germany with Mac OS X 10.4.11 and I would like to buy an iPod in the United States as I am staying here for a long time. Can I also use this iPod classic in Germany without any restrictions? I have heard that there is some kind of feature from Apple that makes it possible not to be able to use the iPod outside the USA/with a non-american Apple device.
    Thank you for answering in advance,
    my name

    I really want to get an iphone, but I'm in the Army and I'm getting assigned to Germany in a few months. I plan for Germany to be my home for a few years. When I looked at Apple stores in Europe I saw they had them in Italy and UK, but not in Germany. My main issue is if AT&T is the service provider in GE. Or do they offer more options over in Europe? Does anyone have any knowledge or experience?

  • HT3939 Can I buy a Verizon iPhone 4 or 4s and have it unlocked to use in Africa?

    I am looking to buy a Verizon iphone 4 or 4s from someone and was wondering if there is a way to unlock it to use it when we move to Africa in a couple months.

    Not a 4, but a 4S can be unlocked by Verizon for use on GSM networks around the world. However, if you encounter a CDMA network (Africa has some) you will be roaming at very high prices.
    Note that you must have a contract with Verizon before they will unlock it.

  • Can I buy an unlocked iPhone 4S in Canada and use it in Mexico?

    Hi!
    I'm currently in Canada but I'll be traveling back to Mexico in a few days, but I just wanted to know if I can use an unlocked iPhone 4S in mexico with carriers like Telcel, Iusacell and Movistar. It's urgent
    Thanks

    You can pay full retail now and then unlock with Verizon's permission later. It's only for international use if it's like the 4s. Only atat has unlocked phones from apple because it's gsm not CDMA. Is straight talk gsm or is it CDMA?  I am not an expert.

  • Sync ALL photos on the iPhone with the computer and then delete

    I have over 3000 photos on my iPhone that I want to sync with/copy to my computer and then delete off of my phone to make more storage available.  I have attempted to open iTunes and sync but it only completed the most recent 150 that I have taken.    Any recommendations?  I have a PC. Thanks so much!

    Thank  you for the quick reply. I already attempted this.   the only pictures and videos that it prompts me to import/upload are the new ones, which was approximately 150.  The remainder are not being read or being asked to import.  that's the issue.
