Can I move a French iPhone to US AT&T?

My girlfriend lives in France. If I buy her an iPhone and she uses it on their Orange network, when she moves to the US can she change out the SIM card and subscribe to the AT&T network?

I don't believe so.
The iPhone sold in the U.S. is sold as carrier locked with at&t only. The iPhone sold in France is sold as carrier locked with Orange and an unlocked version is also sold at a significantly higher price which required by French law. The model number is different for the iPhone sold in France and I'm not even sure if the unlocked version sold in France will work with at&t but it should. The carrier locked version with Orange will not.
You need to check with Apple in regards to the unlocked iPhone sold in France - if it can be activated with at&t when your girlfriend moves to the U.S.

  • How can I use my french Iphone in Thailand?

    Last June, I bought an Iphone in France with Bouygues operator. As I have to leave for Thailand, I ask them to unlock my Iphone, I had to paid 70 euros for it. They asked me to wait about 1 week. I am now in Thailand. Yesterday, I plugged the Iphone to Itunes and I guess the unlock was done as my Iphone was updated. I bought a new SIM card from a thai company... and it doesn't work.
    I went to ask to some shop and they said that my version is 3.1.2 and in Thailand it's only 3.0...Is that the reason I can't get a thai SIM card? What should I do? How can I use my french Iphone in Thailand?

  • Can only move audio to iphone OR nano ...

    Unless I delete my SC Info folder and reboot my PC each time, I can only move ituens purchassed audio files (music/audiobooks) to EITHER my iphone 3gs 32gb OR my nano (1st Gen 4gb). Trying the other device (after authenticating to itues with the first one) gets me back into the reauthentication loop until I delete sc info again ...
    I'm on Win7, latest itunes (confirmed uninstall followed by fresh install) and latest s/w on both the iphone and nano. Transferring podcasts and audible.co.uk items works fine on either or with both plugged in simultaneously.
    I've tried deleting sc info and then plugging BOTH devices in - but it only recognises one - and WILL then move files to the other, but only when the originally recognised device is plugged in.
    Any ideas how I can get itunes to allow me to move itunes audio to either of my devices without having to delete the sc info folder and/or plug the other device in?
    Many thanks,
    Chinski
    ps - imagine the pain I was in before I discovered the "delete sc info folder" thing!

    not sure if it works with appletv's but not sure what use it would be to use it from one as it don't not have any music stored on itself
    but you should check the app in app store called airfoil speakers touch that should at least make it work from a computer to the iphone

  • How can i move photos from iphone to icloud without a computer?

    I keep running out of space on my iphone (4s) because of the number of photos. I have 15 gb of unused icloud storage but can't figure out how to move the photos from iphone to icloud so i free up space on the iphone. I do not have a computer.

    Did you purchase the music from the iTunes store?  If so, you can download it again for free as discussed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519.  If the music was from other sources (ripped CDs, etc.) you have to sync your phone with iTunes on a computer to transfer it to your phone.

  • Can't move contacts from iPhone to new MacBook Pro

    Hi,
    my father-in-law has an iPhone 3G which he's used with his PC without a problem. I finally convinced him to buy a MacBook Pro (which he did today) and we've been unable to move the contacts from the iPhone to the laptop. The phone is connected to iTunes and all looks normal but when we select "contacts" to be synced to the laptop and then click apply, nothing happens. Tried to sync it, the phone and iTunes say "syncing" but the contacts are not showing up in the laptop's address book - very embarassing. I'm assuming it's something I'm doing wrong but I can't for the life of me find an answer.
    Any help would be hugely appreciated.
    Many thanks,
    Ole

    Before you connect your phone to the mac, you should make sure that auto sync when a phone or ipod is connected is NOT CHECKED in preferences for itunes.
    Once you've authorized the account, you should then transfer your purchased apps & music to itunes from your phone.
    You do that by going up to file, select transfer purchases made on this ipod to this computer. All of your purchased apps & music will be transferred, music you ripped on your own or photos will not be, you'll have to restore those from a backup.
    If you already have contacts in your address book, you should have received the merge prompt when you synced. Are you sure in itunes you have the contact tab checked?

  • Can't move music to iPhone after reinstalling OS.

    I was on a 64 bit Windows 7 OS and I had to be reimaged to a 32 bit. I tried moving music over to my iPhone and it doesn't let me. I authorized this computer, but I'm not sure what that did. What am I missing?

    You can only sync/manage to one computer/library.
    When you re-imaged it became a new library. You may have to sync to the new computer, erasing the current content and replacing with content from the new library.

  • Can I move my old iPhone 4 to another account in the same family plan

    I currently have an iPhone 4 and a 3GS on the same family plan.  I would like to upgrade to the 4s (with a new 2-yr contract) and replace my old 3GS with my old 4 (without re-upping for 2 more years for the privilege of swapping old phones).  Is this possible?

    Yes.
    Stop by an ATT corporate store to request a new micro-SIM card for the iPhone 4 where the iPhone 4 can also be activated with the line/number that is currently using the 3GS. The 3GS will be deactivated automatically at that time.

  • How can i move photos off iphone 4s and free up space?

    I have utilized dropbox and other storage options, but looking for a faster, easier method of removing photos from my phone and freeing up space.

    Import them onto your computer. If you've got a windows, you can plug your phone into your computer and using the autoplay feature, you can import the photos onto your computer. This will allow you to delete the photos from your phone, but still have them on your computer.

  • Can I sell a French Iphone in an American Apple Store and get a new Iphone 6 that will work in France as well?

    Hi everybody!
    I have an iPhone 5 and I want to take advantage of my next trip to the US to get an iPhone 6 Plus.
    If I go to the Apple Store, will they take my iPhone 5 back (I bought it in France)? If yes, any idea for how much?
    Will the iPhone 6 work without any problem when I'll be back to France?
    Thank you for the answer!!!

    when i purchase ringtones and they download directly to the music app on iphone, how can I move them to SOUNDS in SETTINGS so I can assign to various functions please?

    You would have to create the ringtones.
    Google will find several way to do this.
    You cannot buy ready made ringtones from your computer.
